An Assassin’s Creed designer who publicly spoke out against Ubisoft’s return-to-office mandate claims the company have now fired him. Developer David Michaud-Cromp posted on LinkedIn last week that he’d been put on unpaid disciplinary leave after recently criticising the policy change on the social media platform. If you’re out of the loop, Ubisoft have recently revealed plans to push remote staff back into offices amid a bloodbath of game cancellations, restructuring and voluntary redundancies. The company intend to have employees return to working in-office five days a week, with an annual allowance of work-from-home days. All of these moves have…
Epic Games has today released some rather impressive stats based on user data and sales numbers that illustrate some decent growth over the course of 2025. These include all-time high numbers for money and time spent on third-party games, and a record 78 million monthly active users across the entire Epic Games Store. However, while I’ll shower you with all the stats shortly, I want to first focus on Epic’s commitment to improving the experience on its platform – something that’s consistently holding it back in its fight against Steam. While Epic boss Tim Sweeney has sent several jabs Steam’s…
A listing for Tom Clancy’s The Division: Definitive Edition has appeared on the Xbox store, seemingly ending hopes of a potential remaster.A poster for The Division: Definitive Edition was spotted at a Ubisoft event in Japan, sparking speculation as to what it could entail.Given that the game was originally released in 2016 and Ubisoft was holding a 10th anniversary panel at the same event, some believed the Definitive Edition may have included some remastered elements.Instead, it appears that The Division: Definitive Edition is simply a collection consisting of the original game and all its previous downloadable content.Priced at $49.99 /…
12 years on from the original movie, It Follows star Maika Monroe has a promising update on delayed sequel They Follow.”Rumors have been spreading that it will be happening. So I would stay positive because I’ve heard some good news recently,” Monroe told Entertainment Weekly. “So we’ll see.”Released in 2014, It Follows stars Monroe as Jay, a college student who finds herself stalked by a deadly sexually transmitted entity after having sex with her boyfriend for the first time. Director David Robert Mitchell is set to return for the sequel, which will reportedly be set 10 years later. They Follow…
There’s an accidental element of roleplaying to the Early Access launch of Menace, the latest turn-based tactics game from Battle Brothers developers Overhype Studios. Like the newly-minted commander of the TCRN Impetus, thrust into leadership after a warp travel accident left everyone on the bridge of the colonial navy ship violently decompressed, I too have very little idea what I’m doing. While Menace’s tutorial walks you through the basics of directing soldiers on the battlefield, there’s currently little guidance to the finer details of this strategy game. I’m not going to let that get in the way, however. After all,…
Sony has filed a patent for personalized generative AI podcasts to pop up while players are in-game to let them know of the latest news, from achievements their friends have unlocked to the fact that software updates might be available. I’m not sure who needed a robot approximation of Christopher Judge’s voice to tell them to update their game, but the patent, which was granted in late January, shows that Sony believes this to be a profitable route forward. While it’s unclear how this will impact us PC players or whether it will be restricted to PlayStation consoles, the abstract…
A modder who specialises in making “nonsense” mods for games has turned Red Dead Redemption 2 into a Pokémon-like game.YouTuber Blurbs often makes comedy mods for popular games, and his latest video shows him turning Rockstar‘s Wild West game into a “legally distinct animal catching RPG”.While other modders’ videos often just show the game in action, Blurbs usually shows the development process and this latest 20-minute video is no different.In it, he figures out how to make protagonist throw a Pokéball (or an Arthur Ball, as he calls it), then how to make it look like it’s capturing one of…
Ms. Marvel actor Iman Vellani might just be the MCU’s biggest fan, and she really wants you to check out Wonder Man.The new show follows aspiring actor Simon Williams, who aims to score a role in the remake of superhero movie Wonder Man in a Hollywood that has banned superpowered actors. The only catch is, Simon himself has powers…”Watch Wonder Man,” Vellani wrote on her Letterboxd account, complete with clapping emojis between each word. “And if that was not convincing enough, allow me to briefly tickle ur inner skeptic with a list!” You may like Vellani’s reasons for watching are…
I’m going to a toddler’s birthday party on Saturday and I have it on good authority from Alva’s dad that there will be trays of sandwiches and a couple of cakes from M&S. There is no booze provided. I’m not sure if that’s because there should be no booze consumed at a two-year-old’s birthday, or only that we should bring our own. I guess I’ll find out for sure if they frisk on the door. However, if Valheim’s latest anniversary update is anything to go by, I am now looking forward to Alva’s fifth birthday. To mark five years in…
You can’t say that Deadlock doesn’t have variety. Shortly after it added the sleepiest, cutest ‘lil guy Rem to its roster, Valve switched things up with zombie-summoning goth girl Graves, and has now announced, ahem, “hot mess” werewolf lady Silver. She has been met with the exact reaction you’d expect from a large group of gamers with overactive imaginations, and has led others to believe that the MOBA is degenerating into “goon slop.” Aesthetics aside, I can’t wait until she’s released to try out her shapeshifting abilities while I fire devastating shotgun blasts at anyone who crosses my path. On…
