Former Assassin’s Creed franchise boss Marc-Alexis Côté is suing Ubisoft for more than $1.3 million.It was announced in October 2025 that Côté had left Ubisoft, after working on the Assassin’s Creed series for nearly two decades as a designer, director and producer.In 2022, Côté was put in charge of leading Ubisoft’s global teams on the Assassin’s Creed franchise, tasked with shaping the long-term strategy of the series.However, last October Ubisoft’s new Tencent-backed subsidiary Vantage Studios started operation, overseeing the company’s three biggest IPs – Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six.Two weeks after Vantage started, co-CEOs Charlie Guillemot…
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is, somehow, almost six years old. Releasing in 2020, the constant passage of time has only benefited from giving me a little island village second home I can escape to throughout the years. But, with both Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition’s upgrades, and Update 3.0 bringing new features, modes, and activities across both old and new hardware, there’s never been a better time to play. For games like Animal Crossing, that staying power is incredibly important.Additions are too numerous to go over in exacting detail, but even after just a couple of…
Happy new week of PC game releases, all! First, the customary paragraph of Maw musings. What we refer to as the Maw goes by many other names in different regions, as different cultures react to its cosmic incursions. Across the channel in Normandy, generations of monks have addressed the creature as La Bête des Trous. The Finnish know the Maw as Tuleva Syöjä. In the United States, meanwhile they call it Friday Night at Applebee’s. The Maw reacts to every naming with delight, for each name is a fresh morsel of News. By all means add your own invention…
Hytale’s first big update in early access is out now with a whole host of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, new content and customization options, and a vague, dog-related tease.Developer Hypixel published its extensive list of patch notes earlier today, and the update’s highlight is undoubtably the addition of “dinosaurs and other NPCs to populate the underground jungles.” But be warned: their behaviour is still a work in progress, much like everything else in the blocky sandbox.What raised my eyebrows up to my hairline, though, is a little tease at the bottom of the blog. Under the ‘Extras’ subsection of the…
To put it mildly, several skills on the Arc Raiders raider skill tree seem better than others. To put it less mildly, as I said to design lead Virgil Watkins in a recent interview, player testing has found that several skills have an indiscernible impact on gameplay. Fortunately, Watkins says Embark is “not deaf” to the sorry state of these unlovable skills, and buffs are “100% on our radar.” (Here are our picks for the best skills in Arc Raiders.)”I think even internally, we know,” he says. “There’s certain skills I don’t choose. So yeah, 100%. I’m not going to…
It’s no secret that The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is a huge game, to put it lightly. Before launch, the veterans behind Danganronpa and Zero Escape were boasting of 100 routes dense enough to be considered proper endings, but now, almost a year after its release, developer Too Kyo Games has revealed that The Hundred Line has actually been two games in one all along.On social media, the developer said that The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy has been masquerading as a single game this entire time but it’s actually a two-in-one pack containing The Hundred Line and The…
Welcome back to Westeros. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes us back into George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world, catching up with the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his unusual young squire Egg.But, you might be wondering when A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes place on the Game of Thrones timeline. After all, the history of Westeros spans hundreds of years, with major events like the war of the Blacks vs. the Greens and the War of the Five Kings taking place in this time span.Below, we’ve laid out the relevant parts of the Knight of the…
Former Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah, who had been at BioWare for over two decades working on iconic games, recently defended the studio’s swing (and miss) with Anthem, the exosuit-boasting looter shooter that was both a massive departure for the developer and a big failure.When asked if he wanted to set the record straight about anything, in an interview with Destin Legarie reflecting on Anthem’s recent shutdown, Darrah mentioned how a lot of people would come “out of the woodwork” around launch to say things like, “‘See, I told you so'” and “‘BioWare should have never made Anthem because…
Box art isn’t traditionally the first bit of art that’s drawn up when making a game – whatever’s printed on physical boxes and digital thumbnails usually comes when it’s time to market the thing – but that’s exactly what happened with Fallout 3 as the devs thought it was important to start at the very beginning and reimagine Fallout 1’s box art.”It started with the box art,” lead artist Istvan Pely remembered in an interview with Edge Magazine. “The original Fallout 1 box, with the power armor on it, was iconic. To me, that was Fallout. So, that was the…
I know that many soulslike enjoyers will put FromSoftware as the titan of the genre, and that’s fair – they make the best soulslikes, and with the Dark Souls series, they thrust the subgenre of action-RPGs into the spotlight. However, Team Ninja doesn’t get enough respect as one of FromSoft’s biggest rivals, and with Nioh 3 on the horizon, it’s time to give them the recognition they deserve – and what better time to pre-order than when you can get a special discount? While Elden Ring and Dark Souls have more thoughtful, slower-paced combat, Nioh 3 is a lot faster.…
