Ubisoft has today announced a “a major organizational, operational and portfolio reset” that will see six in-development projects canceled and a further seven upcoming games delayed. The only one of the six scrapped projects to be named is the Prince of Persia Sands of Time remake, which has had a long and arduous development at the hands of multiple studios but looked set to launch within the next few months. “Ubisoft’s strategic decision to undertake this major reset is driven by the continued shift toward a persistently more selective triple-A market and an increasingly competitive shooter landscape, combined with the…
A visual effects developer at Epic Games has challenged director Gore Verbinski’s comments about Unreal Engine.Earlier today VGC reported that the Pirates of the Caribbean director criticised the increasing use of Unreal Engine in film production, saying it’s led to “this sort of gaming aesthetic entering the world of cinema”.“I just don’t think it takes light the same way,” Verbinksi said. “I don’t think it fundamentally reacts to subsurface, scattering, and how light hits skin and reflects in the same way. So that’s how you get this uncanny valley when you come to creature animation, a lot of in-betweening is…
The creator of the Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod that was recently taken down after a DMCA from CD Projekt Red isn’t ruling out making it “free for everyone,” but says it’s become somewhat irrelevant since its removal has led to pirating, and some saying “I should be punished by having it stolen.”Modder Luke Ross is well known for his R.E.A.L VR mod framework, which brings VR support to over 40 games including Elden Ring, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and – once upon a time, before a separate DMCA from Take-Two Interactive – Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5. However,…
More and more as time goes on I feel that if I blink a whole two years will pass, and suddenly a game like Enshrouded, which is coming up to its second early access anniversary, will be gearing up for its proper 1.0 launch. While an exact date for the survival game’s full release hasn’t been locked in just yet, a new Road to Release video was shared by developer Keen Games detailing what you can expect leading up to said launch. As of right now, the current plan for Enshrouded 1.0 is that it’ll arrive sometime in…
Boasting a gorgeous fantasy world, a huge combat and traversal sandbox, and one of the best protagonist names I’ve heard in a while, I’m extremely keen to get my hands on Crimson Desert. Putting you in the shoes of Kliff Macduff, leader of the Greymanes (told you it was good) you’ll be out for revenge, hunting down those that ambushed and slaughtered members of your clan. A Crimson Desert release date of Thursday, March 19 was locked in following its delay from a late 2025 window last year, and while an exact date is always encouraging, further pushbacks are never…
Assassin’s Creed publisher Ubisoft has detailed a “major reset” for the company that will see its creative operations split into five separate divisions.The organizational restructuring, which has been in the works for a year, is designed to help the French publisher “reclaim its creative leadership” and “drive a sharp rebound”, it said on Tuesday, following a turbulent few years of disappointing launches and plummeting stock value, which recently resulted in a minority sale to Tencent.As a result, six games have been cancelled, seven delayed, and two studios closed, the company confirmed during a media briefing attended by VGC.The six cancelled…
Since it was first revealed back in 2019, Crimson Desert has looked almost too good to be true. Its trailers presented a convincing hybrid of The Witcher-style dark fantasy and a massive variety of open-world action. We were promised a game world bigger than the likes of Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2. Could developer Pearl Abyss, primarily known for the MMO Black Desert Online, deliver a single-player open-world game that matched those ambitions?We’re about to find out, because Crimson Desert is locked into its launch date of March 19, 2026. That date was announced a few months ago, but…
We interrupt our regular schedule of weaponising hamsters and grizzling about GTA 6 with a word from the world of film – a film being a curious subspecies of video game that plays itself, consists partly of human souls preserved in gelatin and silver halide, and can only be ‘failed’ by skipping the post-credits scene. Whatever will the mad labcoats dream up next? More specifically, it’s time for an insight from Gore Verbinski, director of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. He thinks the much-gobflapped adoption of Epic’s Unreal Engine by visual effect teams is a blight upon the face…

A Chinese modder has created a large 3-in-1 console containing all three current-gen systems in one box.Xiao Ningzi posted a video on her YouTube channel 小宁子 XNZ in which she explained how she made her custom console, which she calls the Ningtendo PXbox 5.The large console contains a PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X, with players able to switch between the three at the press of a button.XNZ says having all three consoles was an inconvenience for her, and while her creation is a large device, it still takes up far less space than having all three…
