Posts from Play online on Ubisoft.

I'm planning to buy the bundle (4 games) on Steam. I'm not afraid of the English language, but will it be possible to play on the official server? I read that a network key is not provided. I can play pirated versions through Hamachi...

Since it’s not being given out, it means it’s not possible… If you want a Ubi key (to play on the official server), you need to buy the game in a box or on websites that sell games with keys (of course, these won’t be Steam versions). We have a link on our website that leads to Ozon, where you can buy the game: http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/7083615/?item=3691601. Or you can buy it on Steam and then, at your own risk, look for keys from people who don’t need them, so they can give them to you cheaply or for free… This method is clearly not very reliable, and I’m not even sure if these Steam-adapted versions will even support the game on the Ubisoft server, but who knows, maybe you’ll get lucky?

My DVD-ROM is currently broken, so I'm looking for a download option. That means I won't look in Steam...

Here is the official website store. If I understand correctly, after purchasing, you download the game, rather than acquiring it as a DVD. Although, ideally, this point should be verified...

When purchased on Steam, you receive a key for online play.

Is it a Steam network key, right?

Isn't that right? You'll still need to register on Ubisoft Connect. But you'll be playing with a key from Steam.

Ah, I see how it works. Well, that changes things; it might be suitable for Night Knight.
