     Assassin's Creed Mirage release date, news, and gameplay

The Assassin's Creed Mirage release date is incoming. We know that Mirage is an homage to the original Assassin's Creed games, bringing back the stealth-focused gameplay in a densely populated Middle-Eastern city. While it's still an action-adventure game with a strong narrative focus, long-time Assassin's Creed players will be reminded of Ezio's adventures rather than Eivor's.

Assassin's Creed Mirage, which was announced in September 2022, is part of Ubisoft's larger Assassin's Creed series. Following the release of Valhalla back in 2020, it's the thirteenth major installment. Like other AC games, Mirage is all about fascinating historical settings, intriguing characters, and sneakiness - something that will hopefully place Mirage among the best PC games when it eventually releases. Whether you're a veteran assassin or new to stealth games, here's everything we know about AC Mirage release date and gameplay.

A previous TWAB promised answers regarding the Veil in Destiny 2 Lightfall would be coming as part of a quest in season 21, but, as many players have noted, Bungie didn't mention that this questline would be extended over a matter of weeks.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Trailer

At the PlayStation Showcase on May 24, 2023, a new trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 appeared. In it, we get to see the iconic Kraven the Hunter as he sets on to start a new hunt in the streets of New York. The trailer also presents new gameplay. It showed Spider-Man's new symbiotic black suit with a series of new abilities and Miles' new hovering skill. It ended with a peek at The Lizard.

The story will apparently start with Kraven going to New York in order to hunt Connors as his next prey. After showing him, it looked at Peter Parker's more violent and serious personality likely due to the black suit. As for Miles Morales, he is joined by his friend Ganke through a drone-like machine that can join the battle with some accessories.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPEU53aLc6c&ab_channel=IGN
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will feature a single-player campaign following the story of Peter and Miles. In it, the two will face the new menace brought by Kraven and The Lizard's battle while Peter suffers the changes brought by the black symbiote, which created Venom in the comics. About the gameplay, players will apparently alternate between both spider-men by story-triggered segments.

Previously, a Sony financial report confirmed the launch of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was planned for the 2023 fiscal year. Moreover, Sony launched a Free Comic Book Day prequel showing what Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, and Miles Morales were up to ahead of the new installment. In addition, the comic also presented a new enemy in the game's universe: The Hood.

A teaser for a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 called Metal Gear Solid Delta was shared during the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase. It showed the iconic game's main character, Snake, in a whole new look using the new graphical engine.

The trailer starts following diverse creatures in a jungle, mainly showing a snake fighting back against an alligator before finally revealing Snake hidden in the environment.

Konami hasn't shared much news about the franchise since series Director Hideo Kojima's departure from the company in 2015. The last game in the franchise released without Kojima's participation was Metal Gear Survive, which debuted to mixed reviews. Rather than a mainline entry, it was a spin-off.

Originally released in 2004, Metal Gear Solid 3 followed a young "Big Boss" still using the nickname of "Naked Snake." In it, you had to fight against a series of professional mercenaries in order to stop Snake's former mentor, The Boss. The game was praised due to its engaging story and groundbreaking mechanics.

The Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake of the third game will be available for the PS5, and no release date has been confirmed yet.

Kenshi Yonezu Performs Final Fantasy XVI Main Theme Song

There's more to see regarding Final Fantasy XVI, as a "Salvation" story trailer debuted at the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase. This comes just ahead of the game's June 2023 launch.

     Ghostrunner 2 Gameplay Trailer Announcement Release Date 2023 When Coming Out PcDeveloper One More Level and 505 Games officially announced Ghostrunner 2 during the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase. The announcement included a flashy, high-octane trailer characteristic of the franchise's gameplay. Alongside that, Community Manager Stephan Takowsky discussed the first gameplay details for Ghostrunner 2 via a post on the PlayStation blog including mention of when the gaming is coming out. When is Ghostrunner 2 coming out? The current release schedule simply lists 2023 for Ghostrunner 2, with no specific date given. We can, however, take a fairly safe guess when the game will come out. The latest release date would be sometime in early December in order to maximize sales preceding the holidays. It's also unlikely this will be an early or mid-summer release since that is not far off and wouldn't provide much time for a PR campaign. Fall tends to be the blowout release season for most games, so that's likely where this will lan...

     Neva Featured ImageAmong the myriad delights revealed during Sony's Playstation Showcase event, one gem sparkled a little brighter than the others: Neva, a new title from Nomada Studio, the creative minds behind 2018's award-winning tour-de-force Gris. Neva announced during Sony's Playstation Showcase Introduced with a stunning animated reveal trailer, Neva made a strong first impression through its bold use of watercolor techniques and striking imagery. It then proceeded to not just tug at the heartstrings, but really go to town on them for the rest of the trailer's runtime. Bad news for the emotionally repressed: this game is going to crack open your floodgates and then some. Image via Nomada Studio The story told in the trailer is a wordless one, and yet it speaks volumes: of the bonds we make with those close to us, be they animals or other humans, and the pain we feel when said bonds are severed by cruel chance. It's a testament to the storytelling abilities of Nomada ...

     Foamstars Splatoon Pink Blue FoamOut of the countless competitive shooters on the market, Splatoon has always stood out. Nintendo's quirky shooter series became a massive success, particularly in Japan, largely due to its distinct, exceptionally polished turf-inking gameplay. With this success in mind, it's somewhat surprising that not many imitators have come out to compete with the series. But now, it looks like Splatoon will finally get some direct competition in the form of Foamstars, a new turf-covering shooter using soap and foam instead of ink. Sony unveiled this new title in the midst of today's PlayStation State of Play showcase. The trailer that debuted alongside the game's announcement depicted two teams squaring off in an arena with a neon-lit background. Both teams fire out bubbles that leave behind mountains of brightly-colored foam when they hit the ground. Of course, the teams also have a wealth of other special foam-based weapons at their disposal, some of which look more ...
