Ubisoft and Edge Shave Gel have revealed a partnership where if you buy shaving cream you’ll receive in-game content for next week’s Assassin’s Creed Unity.
Specially marked cans of Edge Shave Gel will come with codes to download an in-game sword, armor, and a hood. You can see depictions of this content in the image above, shared on Facebook.
The markdowns listed below are valid through November 10. Also, you will need an Xbox Live Gold subscription to get the games at their discounted prices.
In other Titanfall-related deals news, the game’s Xbox One DLC pass–which normally sells for $25–is on sale now at the steep discount of $6.25. It includes access to the game’s three previously released expansion packs–Expedition, Frontier’s Edge, and IMC Rising.
In addition, developer Respawn Entertainment recently released a massive game update for Titanfall that brought an entirely new game mode and lots more to the shooter. You can learn more about the update in the video above in written form via our previous coverage.

Though a third entry in the Just Cause series remains unannounced, the evidence of its existence continues to mount. The latest findings come in the form of four alleged screenshots taken from the Xbox One version of the game, which surfaced in the Xbox-Underground forums recently.
The images appear to show main character Rico, and an overview of what looks like an island. The screenshot above also seems to suggest that the game might have microtransactions in some form–not an uncommon thing for major games today.
A source reportedly close to the game verified to Eurogamer that the image above is indeed from Just Cause 3, explaining that it shows off the game’s “Black Market.” The source went on to claim that, at one time, the PC version was planned to be entirely free-to-play while the console versions would be paid games supported by microtransactions.
However, Eurogamer says “the plan changed and this may no longer be the case.”
Representatives for Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios and publisher Square Enix declined to comment when approached by Eurogamer.
Avalanche boss Christofer Sundberg said previously that microtransactions are simply part of the new generation of games, though he wants to make sure gamers are treated fairly.
“Microtransactions, subscriptions, and other biz models will be the next generation of games. It is that simple,” he said on Twitter last year. He later expanded on the thought, stating that “greed never works.”
“We’ll never compromise on quality or sell our souls for a quick buck,” Sundberg added. “Things are changing and we need to adapt.”
Via NeoGAF, the cutscene you see below shows off new character Agent Locke (who will play a prominent role in the game), as well as an updated character model for the Arbiter.
The cutscene itself is supposedly included with next week’s Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and is meant to tease some of the plot for next year’s Halo 5: Guardians.
The video reportedly stems from a Twitch stream of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Someone who supposedly watched the stream reports on Reddit that the streamer never meant to show the new cutscene, which might explain why the video ends so abruptly.
The Master Chief Collection launches on November 11 exclusively for Xbox One. For more on the title, check out GameSpot’s previous coverage.

The PlayStation 4 version of upcoming open-world game Grand Theft Auto V will include its own unique and exclusive functionality in the form of special DualShock 4 features. Gizmodo recently got to play the game on PS4 and shed some light on the new features, listed below.
Access GTA Online’s interaction menu by holding the DualShock 4’s touch-pad
Phone calls and police radio sounds will emit from the DualShock 4’s speaker
Swipe the touch-pad up or down to change weapons
Swipe the touch-pad left or right to change the radio station
The DualShock 4 light bar will flash red and blue when you have a Wanted level
It is unclear if the Xbox One or PC versions will have any features unique to those platforms.
Though the PS4 version of GTA V will have a range of DualShock 4 features, all three iterations of the game for new platforms are getting the newly confirmed first-person mode. This new way to play, available with a single button press, lets you see the world of Los Santos and Blaine County from an entirely new perspective–which has a major impact on the game, Rockstar says.
The new first-person mode is in addition to the long list of improvements coming to GTA V on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Others include better graphics (1080p on PS4 and Xbox One; 4K support on PC), enhanced draw distances, denser traffic, more wildlife, and lots more.

You might think this Pokemon keyboard design, which swaps out the letters with tiny pictures of Pokemon, is the least practical keyboard ever made. But hey, look at that: the name of every Pokemon used corresponds with the letters they’re replacing. So if you know your Pokemon, you’ll be just fine.
Call of Duty gets a lot of stick – some of it deserved – for being “stupid”, but here’s a neat little touch I found in Advanced Warfare’s singleplayer campaign that’s worth a closer look.
