New Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Ghost Recon games will release by early 2029 say Ubisoft, who're also dumping cash into a "first playable generative AI experience"
While in the midst of not great financial times at the moment, Ubisoft have revealed plans to have new Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon games out at some point between now and early 2029. Boss Yves Guillemot is touting this to investors as signifying an incoming turnaround following “one of the most ambitious transformations in the company’s history”, which is corpospeak for taking a bunch of money from Tencent to rearrange some corporate chairs, delaying or cancelling a bunch of games, and laying off staff.

The Boys showrunner explains why the series finale didn't go "scorched earth": "I really wasn't interested in a post-apocalyptic world"
The Boys season 5 has brought the long-running Prime Video show to a final end – and the response has remained pretty mixed on how it all went down. The finale saw Homelander and Billy Butcher fight it out in the White House as Antony Starr’s Supe was finally killed.However, while the moment was a hit with some people, other fans had been expecting more, especially given the tease of “scorched earth” between the two heavyweights. Showrunner Eric Kripke has reacted to this in a new interview, explaining why he didn’t go “post-apocalyptic” with the series in its final episodes.”For…
The Witcher 3 lead quest designer says the room fell into "wide eyes and silence" when he pitched one of the open-world RPG's biggest twists
I’m often curious about how major plot twists are pitched. Did Darth Vader revealing he’s Luke’s father make sense to everyone else in the room? What about when Ken Levine told his team about where BioShock was going? In the case of one of the bigger moments in The Witcher 3, the writing team was slightly flabbergasted, according to the person who came up with it.To mark the 11-year anniversary of The Witcher 3, Pawel Sasko, a quest designer on the RPG who’s now an associate game director at CD Projekt, revealed he threw out an idea for The Battle…
Mortal Sin is my favorite roguelite you haven't played, and it's a steal in this Steam key bundle
Grab a copy of Dark Messiah or Warhammer: Vermintide, then sprinkle some Roboquest and a dash of Hades, and you’ll get Mortal Sin. At first, the almost grotesque layer of paint over the retro-style visuals looks unappealing, but as you get used to it, this indie soon cements itself as one of the best roguelite games of rest years – trust me, I should know. Unlike the isometric view of Hades that makes the combat feel more action-packed, or the cartoony visuals of a title like Roboquest, Mortal Sin puts you knee-deep into the guts and gore. It’s easy to…
The Boroughs will fill the Stranger Things-shaped hole in your heart, but it can't coast on the association forever
All the way back in the halcyon days of 2025, there was a show on Netflix called Stranger Things. Created by Matt and Ross Duffer, better known as The Duffer Brothers, the show was an enormous hit for the streamer, and ended with a great final episode that everyone loved. Just kidding!

"Defending yourself is no longer treated the same as starting a fight": Arc Raiders devs update matchmaking, explain how it really works, and shoot down player theories
Clearing up months of speculation, Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios released a detailed breakdown of how the game’s matchmaking works alongside an update packing two major changes to that system.These matchmaking changes are “live now,” and Embark will “keep tuning” as players respond to them.Firstly, Embark says in a new post, “defending yourself is no longer treated the same as starting a fight.” Until now, though Embark was able to track who shoots first, it appears the flow of an engagement was weighted in such a way that “your playstyle,” as the system evaluates you, “didn’t capture whether you started…
