We’re excited to announce a partnership with Ubisoft which is allowing us to offer a special costume for FINAL FANTASY XIII-2′s male protagonist, Noel, as downloadable content. He will be able to dress up as the master assassin from the latest Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. As you can see above, Ezio Auditore’s costume has been lovingly recreated for Noel.

We’ll be announcing the release date of this DLC at another time, but we thought you’d like to get a sneak peek at it ahead of time. For more information on FINAL FANTASY XIII-2, check out the Square Enix Blog. We’ve recently been posting a load of new screenshots as well as our recent ‘Battle In Valhalla’ trailer. Well worth checking out, if you haven’t already!

FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 will be on shelves in Europe on February 3rd 2012.

In the game you will control the King of Hell, who has been banished and is seeking to reclaim his throne with the help of an army of goblin soldiers. Army Corps of Hell is being developed by Entersphere and will feature plenty of dark humour as you venture further into the depths of Hell.

We were very happy to have the producer of Split/Second, Jason Reid, over to our offices recently to show us the final build of the game. I got some hands-on time with it and it’s looking really great. I’m not a fan of driving games normally, so I was surprised to find myself losing track of time. This is a racing game that aspires to be a Hollywood movie in the style of Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer — a level of explosions, slow motion and large scale destruction that it easily lives up to.

After quite a lengthy play session I got Jason on camera to discuss the game — from the developers’ inspirations to the game modes and those ever-present explosions. If you give your eyes a slight nudge downwards you’ll find the video sitting there, waiting for you.
