Ubisoft will release Just Dance: Disney Party 2 on October 20… here’s the complete tracklist

Posted on October 5, 2015 by John Scalzo

The Disney Channel loves creating song-and-dance shows for today’s tweens. In addition to having a popular television show, Disney’s musical aspirations also gives them the chance to create a ton of licensed tie-in merchandise. Just look no further than Ubisoft’s Just Dance: Disney Party 2.

Just Dance: Disney Party 2 is scheduled for an October 20 release on the Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. It’ll feature 24 songs from the Disney Channel’s lineup of shows and movies such as Descendants, Violetta, Girl Meets World, and more.

“Some of our most passionate fans are also avid fans of the Disney Channel, so we wanted to deliver a tracklist that fuses Just Dance with Disney Channel music,” said Tony Key, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Ubisoft. “With Just Dance: Disney Party 2, our development team worked closely with Disney to create gameplay that is true to the shows and movies our fans love to watch on TV.”

The complete tracklist for Just Dance: Disney Party 2 can be found after the break.

Weekly Warp-Up: Is It Fall Yet? Edition

Posted on October 4, 2015 by John Scalzo

No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…

Maybe it’s just me, but this Fall seems downright quiet compared to some years. Sure, there’s still a lot of new games coming out between now and the end of the year, but it doesn’t feel quite as overwhelming as it has in years past. Many of this Fall’s biggest titles were delayed into 2016, so maybe this is just the calm before the big storm in Spring 2016.

However, that hasn’t stopped the Warp Zoned staff from keeping up with the latest games. Due to the recent calendar turnover, we compiled a selection of What We Played in September 2015, as well as examined The Games of October 2015. It might be a slower-paced Fall gaming season, but there is still plenty of interesting titles in the pipeline.

Even more news from this week can be found after the break.

It’s time to rock the world once more as Harmonix will release Rock Band 4 for the PS4 and Xbox One this week. In addition to the standard “Game Only” edition, the developer is also planning to replenish your stock of plastic instruments with a Rock Band 4: Guitar Bundle and a Band-In-A-Box Bundle.

Another big franchise that we’ll remember for centuries is coming back this week thanks to Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection on the PS4. Also available as part of a 500GB PS4 + Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Bundle, the collection brings together Drake’s first three adventures and also includes an access code for the upcoming Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End beta.

And speaking of characters that have been popular for centuries, Activision and Platinum have teamed up to produce Transformers: Devastation, a cel-shaded action game based on the franchise’s “Generation 1” era. It looks gorgeous and it’ll be available for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

Finally, somebody told me that people love Nintendo’s adorable Chibi-Robo and NIS America’s Disgaea series of strategy RPGs. Fans are in luck this week, as new entries in both franchises are set to be released this week. Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash is a side-scrolling platformer for the 3DS, while Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance brings the series to the PS4 for the first time.

A complete list of this week’s new releases is available after the break.

Fat City is a heist game from Heavy Iron Studios that asks players to steal the big bucks from the sleepless citizens of New York City. Meanwhile, Polychromatic is a twin-stick shooter that comes with “a pop of color,” according to developer Brushfire Games.

More information about both games is available right here:

Players will use their cunning and brain power to plan raids and execute getaways to pull in the big bucks in the city that never sleeps. With 60+ targets spread throughout the five boroughs of New York City. 
Mission events are driven by how players plan and execute each heist, which inherently creates replay-ability and ample opportunities for completionists.
