  • adidas Digital 6 Jerseys Available Now in NHL 19

    EA Sports NHL 19 and adidas have teamed up to create something special for hockey fans, with unique Digital 6 jerseys being introduced in-game. Methodically created to honor the Original Six NHL teams, these designs are fashioned with the history of each city in mind. Learn more about each of these innovative jersey designs below and how to get them first in-game.

    Boston Bruins

    With the fighting spirit of a bear and a storied history that has defined their legacy, the Digital 6 jersey for the Boston Bruins pays homage to the league’s first American team. The seven stripes and 13 stars surrounding their prominent logo represents the country’s original 13 colonies, honoring the birthplace of a nation. The white color-blocking on the sleeves makes each player’s number pop, and innovative body striping is exclusive to this jersey. Unleash the attitude of a Bruin with this bold jersey in NHL 19.

    Chicago Blackhawks

    Our first reaction to the Blackhawks’ Digital 6 jersey was a mix of wonder and awe, as the seven colors from their logo have been expanded to various areas of this design. No logo in professional sports features as many shades as Chicago’s jersey, which is why this design is so vibrant and powerful. Their iconic jersey crest color palette was expanded out onto the sleeves with bold striping that stays true to their legacy. The threads weaved into the striped pattern on the Blackhawks jersey give it a classic appearance, too, perfect for showing off in NHL 19.

    Detroit Red Wings

    The bold red and white stripes on the Red Wings jersey are inspired by Detroit’s automotive history, adorned with the kind of racing stripes that decorated many local muscle cars. This fresh take on the 1926-1927 jersey features an amped-up Red Wings logo front and center. Seize control of an attitude forged in the heart of Hockeytown with this incredible Red Wings sweater.

    Montreal Canadiens

    Montreal’s jersey celebrates the city’s francophone roots in a way that’s never been seen. Bringing together the traditional color scheme of Bleu, Blanc, and Rouge, this jersey pops with originality thanks to a number of special design choices that went into creating this look. The MTL abbreviation is a nod to how the locals refer to their city, surrounded by vivid striping and the iconic C from their crest used as the captaincy C. Vive les Habitants!

    New York Rangers

    The Big Apple is grand and larger than life, which is why the Rangers’ jersey features an oversized crest with New York emphasized as the center of attention. Bearing the revered Rangers shield and wrapping it all the way around their jersey creates a balanced look between Home and Away designs with a striking presence. Stand like skyscrapers above the competition with the Rangers’ Digital 6 design in NHL 19.

    Toronto Maple Leafs

    Blending the Maple Leafs logo with the Team Canada Summit Series jersey from 1972, this jersey makes each player look like a singular flying leaf. The untouched white area in the upper half of the jersey, combined with the frosted blue visor, pay homage to the winter cityscape when the ice has frozen over. Represent Toronto with this beautiful design.

    Collect All Six in Hockey Ultimate Team

    The Digital 6 jerseys will be available first in Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT) on November 5 before coming to more modes on November 19. You can acquire the Digital 6 in HUT in the following ways:

    That’s all Xbox fans. We can’t wait to see you and your team out on the ice in these incredible new jerseys! NHL 19 is available now for Xbox One on the Microsoft Store.

  • YouTube May Be Coming To Switch This Week

    YouTube May Be Coming To Switch This Week

    Nintendo has had a public distaste for media apps on the Nintendo Switch, stating that they prefer to focus on the Switch as a games machine when asked about generally standard apps like Netflix. This stance is not entirely consistent, however, and seems like it will be made even less consistent with rumors of YouTube arriving on the system as soon as this week.

    Over the weekend, French site NintendHOME found a listing on Nintendo of America’s website which showed YouTube as a Switch app with a prospective release date of November 8.

    ❓Rumeur – L’application YouTube devrait arriver prochainement sur Nintendo Switch, plus précisément le 8 novembre si on en croit le site de Nintendo America. pic.twitter.com/NgvBhDJu1G

    Game Informer was able to also find the listing before it was seemingly removed on Saturday.

    Should the date be accurate, that puts YouTube 364 days after Hulu was announced and released for the Switch last year on November 9. Whether that’s a coincidence or speaks to a year-long exclusivity agreement is hard to say, but the dates do seem odd. Maybe this means Netflix is on the way or it might be at least another year.

    Have you been waiting for media apps like YouTube on the Switch or is it too little, too late?

  • Assassin's Creed Odyssey Mercenaries Live Events Are Being Put On Ice

    One of Ubisoft’s prospective plans for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was the introduction of Mercenary occurrences, occasional live events that added epic mercenaries into Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for the player to meet and kill. The idea was similar in function to Hitman’s elusive targets, time-limited assassination targets that encouraged players to re-engage with the game during set times. For Ubisoft’s game, however, a problem emerged when the last two mercenary events were cancelled on the eve of going live. Now the developer says that they’re putting a freeze on the entire idea while they work out the bugs.

    “Two weeks ago, when we attempted to launch the first Epic Mercenary Event with Damais the Indifferent, we discovered that the content didn’t properly appear for a majority of our players,” a Ubisoft community manager explained in a forum post. “It wasn’t satisfactory to have an event available to only a portion of our players, so we decided to temporarily remove the Epic Mercenary Events from the game altogether until the issue is resolved. We are working on a fix and are hoping to introduce them later this month. We will provide an updated ETA as soon as possible.”

    The first event was cancelled October 18, with a promise to renew the hunting in two weeks. On October 30, Ubisoft tweeted an announcement that it would not be happening then, either. This week, they officially put it on ice, though the forum post says they will be renewing it again later this month, hopefully with more fruitful results than before.

    Remember Damais the Indifferent? So far we’ve had no success in tracking him down, so, unfortunately, there won’t be a live event this week.

    We’re working towards a solution to address an issue that prevents the mercenary live events from appearing as soon as we can. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/BHqEp1g3cb

    In the meantime, Ubisoft is focusing on ship events, which are similar to the mercenary ones but with ship battles. Fans have suggested that there is a similar problem to the mercenary one there, as well, but it does not seem like Ubisoft is seeing the same degree of error there.

    Assassin’s Creed Odyssey released last month on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can find our review for the game right here.

  • NFL Fortnite Skins Touchdown in the Most Ambitious Crossover Event in History

    Automatic first down.

    Fortnite celebrations have become as common as the Gronk spike on Sundays, so it’s perhaps no surprise to see the NFL partner with the biggest game in the world to bring American football outfits to the behemoth Battle Royale. To be fair, even if you’re not a fan of the sport, these costumes do look cool – especially seeing as they extend to all 32 teams, allowing you to don your favourite colours.

    The threads will be available from 9th November from the Fortnite Item Shop, and you’ll be able to select what number is displayed on your jersey, so you can pick 84 for Antonio Brown or 12 for Tom Brady – whatever you fancy. Which team will you be kitting your character out with? Would you like to see this kind of partnership extend to the Premier League, NBA, and so on?
