Kotaku Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:52 PM  It felt like Assassin's Creed Valhalla might never end. Long after the seas had swallowed the continents and the stars had gone out, Eivor would still be finding new settlements to pillage and new cosmetics to play around with. But today Ubisoft announced the almost unthinkable: Assassin's Creed Valhalla has an end… |
Kotaku Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:30 PM  Assassin's Creed is getting a whole lot bigger with Infinity, a new live-service project Ubisoft announced today during its Forward presentation. Infinity aims to connect several different games together while introducing ongoing content updates that will roll out even more settings and timelines over its lifetime. |
Kotaku Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:20 PM  It's finally happening: Assassin's Creed is going to Japan. After a series of earlier reports and leaks, Ubisoft finally made the news official during Saturday's 2022 gaming showcase. |
Kotaku Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:10 PM  Netflix seems determined to make its name in the gaming space.

Beyond a new Assassin's… |
Kotaku Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:00 PM  During today's Ubisoft Forward livestream, the company finally peeled back some of the layers to Assassin's Creed Mirage, the "back-to-basics" stealth-action game that leaked late last month before getting confirmed as real. |
Kotaku Saturday, September 10, 2022 3:11 PM  Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope finally gets the deep dive fans have been waiting for ahead of its October 20 launch. The turn-based strategy formula is back, but with a bevy of new sci-fi tricks up its sleeves, and it's giving me major Super Mario Galaxy 3-vibes. Also Rayman will be coming in one of the future DLCs. |
PCGamesN Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:23 PM  Assassin's Creed new game Assassin's Creed Infinity will be used to introduce more multiplayer experiences to the Ubisoft stealth RPG series, as well as serving as a hub for Codename: Red, the new AC game set in Japan, and Codename: Hexe, a mysterious project from Far Cry 2 director Clint Hocking. |
PCGamesN Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:20 PM  The Assassin's Creed new game Codename: Red will finally transport fans to a location they have been dreaming of ever since the stealth RPG first emerged in 2007, with Ubisoft confirming the new project alongside Assassin's Creed: Mirage, and details about Assassin's Creed: Infinity.

PCGamesN Saturday, September 10, 2022 1:30 PM  Elden Ring Reborn is shaping up to be the Elden Ring mod that might tempt you into a full replay of one of the best open-world games on PC this year. The massive overhaul project takes the FromSoftware game to a new level, aiming to "touch up every aspect of gameplay and add plenty of new content." While it's currently a work in progress, Elden Ring Reborn already has a huge amount going for it, and its developer hopes to entice fans to offer additional feedback and help make one of the best RPG games even better. The Elden Ring Reborn mod, created by Halcyon (who goes by halcyonproject on Nexus Mods), is a long term project aiming to tweak or polish just about every aspect of FromSoftware's smash hit. Currently, the mod includes a large-scale spell overhaul, big talisman changes, universal slotting mechanics, a bow rework, new starting classes, significant changes to the stat and leveling system, enemy and boss rebalancing, and more. Despite that rather lengthy list, Halcyon estimates that they have currently only tackled about 10% of the game. They are using their version numbers to estimate how far development of the mod has progressed - so this initial 0.100 release represents that 10% progress. Halcyon says that "the goal is to get to 1.0 and then hopefully follow it up with a cycle of brand new content up to 2.0."

PCGamesN Saturday, September 10, 2022 12:30 PM  Apex Legends players are asking Respawn to give them a more detailed stat tracking breakdown so they can better reflect on their past performances. Apex Legends is one of the best battle royale games on PC right now, and the launch of Apex Legends season 14 has seen it continue to rise in popularity, with the Apex Legends player count for August reaching its highest levels yet. While the game is clearly doing well, some players are asking for a feature that has long been absent from the game despite featuring heavily in Respawn Entertainment's previous game, Titanfall 2 - detailed stat tracking. Titanfall 2 launched without a stat tracking feature due to development deadlines, but introduced it soon after launch (and recorded players' statistics in the meantime, so none were lost). Apex Legends, however, only offers one basic stats screen. You can see a few details for each of the available modes - your lifetime games played, total number of wins, and amount of times you've made it to the top five. You can also see your total damage dealt and kills obtained, as well as your average kill/death ratio and a small handful of other stats. You can also see a breakdown of these per season - but they're taken across your whole account, and don't consider the wide range of Apex Legends characters on offer to play.

PCGamesN Saturday, September 10, 2022 11:19 AM  A Shatterline tier list to figure out who the best characters are at this early stage of the meta is incredibly important if you want to dominate the free-to-play FPS game. This hero shooter has eight characters, known as operatives, to choose from, each with their own unique abilities, along with some they share with others depending on the category they fall into. A different approach is needed depending on which game mode you're playing though, because the PvP Versus playlist is incredibly fast paced and has you test your mettle against other players online in a variety of objective-based. Meanwhile, Expeditions is PvE focused, fighting against both creatures and enemy soldiers alike as you complete objectives in a huge open-world map. It's too early to tell whether this deserves a spot in our best free PC games list, but make sure you follow this Shatterline tier list if you're playing this innovative shooter.

PCGamesN Saturday, September 10, 2022 10:35 AM  Disney Dreamlight Valley Toy Story and Lion King expansion content has been revealed for the Animal Crossing like game following its release on Steam Early Access and PC Game Pass. The new arrival is already looking to claim a spot among the best life games on PC, and Gameloft lead producer Manea Castet describes the potential pool of Disney characters as "an almost unlimited source of creativity" for the team to work with in an interview following the Disney and Marvel Games Showcase on September 9. "There are many, many Disney and Pixar movies that are great, with great characters," Castet says in an interview with IGN. "We have many, many plans to expand the roster and add additional characters, additional stories, and so on." Fans will certainly be excited about the potential roster of famous faces and magical places that might be on their way to Dreamlight Valley in the coming months and years. Castet continues, describing one addition that fans can expect to see soon that involves the magical doors in the Dream Castle at the heart of Dreamlight Valley. "Behind each door there is one Disney film - so it's a little bubble inspired by a Disney or Pixar movie, where you will meet these characters, have fun, solve some mysteries and puzzles. When you've finished, they come into your valley and have their own little story in the valley also." RELATED LINKS: Best life games on PC, Best Disney games, Games like Animal Crossing on PC |
PCGamesN Saturday, September 10, 2022 11:18 AM  The best Destiny 2 Hunter builds are more potent than ever within the FPS game. The game's relatively recent introduction of aspects and fragments means players have tons of tools in their toolkits to customise their builds to conform with their playstyles. Our Destiny 2 Hunter build guide takes a deep look at the numerous ways players can develop their characters, culminating in the most powerful builds possible. These are all based on the current Arc 3.0 meta, but some players find the Arc 3.0 overhaul weaker than Bungie granted with the Solar and Void revamps from the previous seasons. So, we've developed the strongest builds based on the tools we have at our disposal this season. RELATED LINKS: Destiny 2 classes, Destiny 2 exotics, Destiny 2 builds |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, September 10, 2022 5:28 PM  Before announcing a bazillion Assassin's Creed games during tonight's Ubisoft Forward stream, the publisher did first show a handful of other games. Among them was a first look at The Division: Heartland, a free-to-play spin-off from the Clancyverse shooter, which was described as an "action survival shooter." You can watch it below. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:20 PM  As was leaked, and then hurriedly confirmed by Ubisoft about a week ago, the next Assassin's Creed game to come out will be Mirage, in 2023. It's not going to be quite the massive open world adventure 'em up that the last few entries have been (don't worry; one of those is on the way as well), but a more classic AssCreed experience to mark the series' 15th anniversary. This milestone has made me realise that the Creedsperience has taken up almost half of my current lifespan. Or, to put it another way, I fear that playing Assassin's Creed Mirage may induce a pathetic but very real existential crisis in me. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:20 PM  A not-insignificant part of the Ubisoft Forward livestream tonight was dedicated to Assassin's Creed. To celebrate the doughty action-adventure's 15th anniversary, senior community developer Alice Terrett was joined by a, to his credit, very excited Danny "it's the Daddy" Wallace, to lay out an almost MCU-like timeline of every Assassin's Creed thing happening for the next good while. It includes new DLC for Valhalla, and a mysterious horror-ish tease. But top of the list, after next year's more trad and compact Assassin's Creed Mirage, is Assassin's Creed: Codename Red, the next big flagship open-world RPG for the series. And it's set in feudal Japan. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:20 PM  About a year ago we learned about the existence of something called Assassin's Creed Infinity (or, more precisely, Project Infinity, but we're all just calling it Infinity). The suggestion that Assassin's Creed might become a live service online game akin to Fortnite was quite upsetting to me. Thankfully, VP executive producer on Assassin's Creed Marc-Alexis Côté (aka MAC) appeared on tonight's Ubisoft Forward livestream to explain more about Infinity, and I am slightly less alarmed but no less confused. Rather than a game, MAC says that Infinity is "going to be the single entry point for our fans into the Assassin's Creed franchise in the future". |

As you may have guessed from the title of this post, it's also on sale at Amazon for a very reasonable price: £59 gets you a 500GB model compared to a UK RRP of £101. |

This cooler normally costs £109, but today you can pick it up for £82 after a 25% discount. |

The next expansion mission for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is coming soon. On Friday Square Enix detailed the second Stranger of Paradise DLC, Wanderer of the Rift. Following from The Trials of the Dragon King in July, the new mission adds a familiar Final Fantasy character: Gilgamesh. Check out a trailer for the Stranger of Paradise DLC below. Note that some of the scenes shown may constitute spoilers for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zehOwIgecBk As shown in the trailer and a piece of key art uploaded to the official Final Fantasy Origin Twitter account, the Stranger of Paradise: Wanderer of the Rift DLC features Gilgamesh. The character first appeared in Final Fantasy V, and has made cameos or played roles in most Final Fantasy titles since. Though his appearance has varied, this version of Gilgamesh matches his most common and recognized design. Dressed in red-orange armor, with a style that evokes the appearance the legendary Japanese warrior-monk Benkei, and a white-painted face with red stripes in the Kabuki fashion. The trailer briefly shows glimpses of Jack's fight with the legendary warrior who passes through a dimensional rift. Gilgamesh uses some of his signature attacks, which are based on his reputation as a collector of legendary weapons. He uses Zantetsuken, and poses with it, while his character design holds his trademark naginata polearm. He also uses a move called Gigasplode. Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The Wanderer of the Rift DLC expansion launches on October 26, 2022. It's only available by purchasing the Season Pass, which also unlocks Trials of the Dragon King and the next DLC expansion, Different Future. Check out Siliconera's official review of the base game. The post New Stranger of Paradise DLC Adds Gilgamesh appeared first on Siliconera. |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, September 10, 2022 5:15 PM  Accidents happen, even when giant companies are involved. There were rumblings about Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection releasing months ago, but Sony kept mum on when exactly PC players could expect to jump into the games. Thanks to the Epic Games Store product page for the collection, we now know the release date for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PC. Of course, this wasn't an intentional announcement, as the page in question was removed after people noticed it. This information isn't a giant surprise, mind you, as the user who spotted the page also spotted the same release date on SteamDB months ago. According to the now-deleted Epic Games Store page, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection has its release date set for October 19, the same day listed on SteamDB. This isn't an official confirmation, but it's as close as you can get to one. The game will likely show up on Steam on the same day, but Epic users will get a bit of a bonus. Ac... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:37 PM  Ubisoft Forward 2022 has wrapped, and we have a load of new trailers and game announcements to share. As expected, we learned more about Skull and Bones, The Division Heartland, and Assassin's Creed Mirage. We even got some confirmations for future games, such as Assassin's Creed Codename Red and Hexe. We gathered up the biggest announcements and reveals of the show and shared them with some extra details below. Ubisoft Forward 2022 announcements and reveals Skull and Bones gets three trailers ahead of release After many years and news of development hell, Skull and Bones is actually coming out.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, September 10, 2022 4:31 PM  Ubisoft has revealed Assassin's Creed Mirage, releasing a cinematic trailer and announcing a release window of 2023. The game stars Basim as a newly inducted assassin, a Hidden One, stalking his prey in Baghdad. Assassin's Creed Mirage is looking very much like a return to form, giving proper nods to the original. Assassin's Creed Mirage is Basim's story. The character first showed up in Assassin's Creed Valhalla as a seasoned assassin. Mirage tells the tale on how he got to that point, starting from the day he removed his ring finger — a traditional method of the Hidden Ones. The story is set 20 years before the events of Valhalla. In the game, Basim meets with his new mentor, Roshan, voiced by Emmy-winning actor Shohreh Aghdashloo. And since Mirage does go back to the franchise's roots, you should expect familiar methods in hunting and killing foes. Social stealth seems to be back (that sneaky bench kill), along with the standard stalk... |
