Ubisoft's Gamescom Sale is live through September 1 at 10 a.m. UTC, with advertised savings of up to 85% on the US storefront and an additional 20% off eligible purchases using code EXTRA20. The code applies only to eligible products, so confirm that the reduction appears in the cart before checking out.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the modern showcase

Assassin's Creed Shadows brings the series to feudal Japan through two very different protagonists: Naoe approaches strongholds as a shinobi, while Yasuke turns open conflict into a display of force. It is the event's obvious modern centerpiece, but a large catalog sale is exactly when the Deal Finder is useful—compare the Standard Edition rather than assuming one storefront automatically has the best final price.

Assassin's Creed Shadows in feudal Japan — Assassin's Creed Shadows is the Gamescom Sale's current-generation action-adventure centerpiece. Follow it to compare the exact PC edition.

Anno offers two different scales of empire

Anno 117: Pax Romana moves the city-building series into the Roman world, balancing provincial growth, trade and political identity. Anno 1800 is the established alternative: a mature industrial-era strategy game with years of systems and expansion content behind it. Comparing the exact edition matters because base games, Gold Editions and add-ons can sit beside one another in the same event.

Anno 117 Pax Romana city — Anno 117 is the event's newer strategy destination, built around the choices of a Roman governor.

Anno 1800 industrial city — Anno 1800 remains the deeper established city-builder and a useful cross-store comparison.

Star Wars Outlaws and The Division 2 widen the map

Star Wars Outlaws offers a cinematic criminal journey across several worlds, while The Division 2 turns Washington, D.C. into a dense cooperative action-RPG playground. Both have multiple editions and add-ons, so send the game—not a similarly named season pass or DLC bundle—through the Deal Finder.

Star Wars Outlaws adventure — Star Wars Outlaws is the guide's large-scale cinematic adventure.

The Division 2 in Washington DC — The Division 2 is the cooperative loot-driven option, with several editions and bundles worth distinguishing.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the stealth detour

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is an older game with a very different rhythm from Ubisoft's modern open worlds. Its missions reward shadow, gadget use and route planning, making it a useful reminder that the strongest catalog-sale discovery is not always the newest release or the largest badge.

Splinter Cell Blacklist stealth mission — Blacklist gives the sale a focused stealth option and avoids simply repeating the Ghost Recon games from earlier coverage.
