Ubisoft has created a subsidiary company based on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six brands, with a €1.16 billion (approx. $1.25 billion) investment from Chinese megacorp Tencent.
The news comes hot on the heels of the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows, which just passed the 3 million player mark. Ubisoft suffered a number of high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations in the run up to Assassin's Creed Shadows' release, and there is enormous pressure on it to succeed after the company's share price hit an historic low.
Ubisoft said this new subsidiary, valued at €4 billion (approx. $4.3 billion) and based in France, will focus on “building game ecosystems designed to become truly...

Amazon is hosting a Big Spring Sale this week (March 25-31), with deals on select books, Blu-rays, toys, and more. Sure, some toys are meant for kids, but when it comes to Nerf guns, LEGO (like the LEGO Wednesday Set) and beloved character plushies, I think anyone can enjoy these cozy collectibles.

One of the most popular plushie types sold these days is reversible plushies, giving you two sides of a...
If you’ve been itching for a game that lets you dive into the world of Game of Thrones, then the free-to-play action-adventure RPG Game of Thrones: Kingsroad that’s coming soon on PC and mobile will be right up your alley.
Bringing a new, original story in Westeros, it's set during the latter half of Season 4 of Game of Thrones. Your character is a new addition to the series lore, an heir to House Tyre, a minor house in the North that has been caught up in the web of political intrigue of the realm
Your journey will bring you into contact with well-known characters like Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Lord Varys, and Cersei Lannister, and you’ll see events you’ve never gotten to witness before — from House Bolton’s shifting allegiances to...
Assassin’s Creed Shadows has seen over 3 million players since launch, Ubisoft has announced.
The player milestone comes seven days after Shadows launched on May 20, and is up from the 2 million reported on day two, surpassing the launches of both Origins and Odyssey.
Other stats reported by Ubisoft today were already revealed by IGN’s coverage of an internal email in which the company contextualized Shadows’ opening weekend performance, saying it’s better compared to Origins and Odyssey rather than the “perfect storm” 2020’s Valhalla launched into.
Shadows saw the second highest day one sales revenue in Assassin's Creed franchise history, behind only Valhalla, the biggest Ubisoft day one ever on the PlayStation Store, and has seen...
Going hand in hand with its pitch-black narrative, it’s fair to say that few video games deal in the currency of violence quite as generously as Naughty Dog’s seminal opus, The Last of Us Part II. If violence is a sin, then the devil is most certainly in the details since while a cursory glance […]

Many of them are the perfect opportunity to add new titles to your collection without stretching your budget, so let’s get scrollin' and savin'.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 17th bday of God of War: Chains of Olympus, a PSP powerhouse spin-off. In this first game prequel (that occurs after God of War: Ascension), Kratos is still the Winston Wolf dogsbody of that Greek Godsbody corporate. My overriding memory of it is an array of weird unlockable skins that turned old mate into a giant spud, a bekilted Braveheart berserker, or a...
Sony has revealed RoboCop: Rogue City (PS5), The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (PS4, PS5), and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory (PS4) as its trio of PlayStation Plus Essential titles for April 2025.
The gaming giant unveiled next month's service additions in a PlayStation.Blog post today. Each joins a catalog of titles available to subscribers of the cheapest PlayStation Plus tier at no additional cost and will remain available until the next batch of games rolls out come May 5. Every game in today’s list is available starting April 1.
PlayStation Plus users will note the April 2025 lineup has a little something for everyone. Teyon and Nacon’s brutally accurate ‘80s love letter, RoboCop: Rogue City, is likely the biggest...
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to appear in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as an actual, genuine playable fighter in one of the most bizarre fighting game guest character appearances in recent memory.
Ronaldo, considered one of the greatest footballers of all time alongside Lionel Messi, is part of the launch roster of characters.
Developer and publisher SNK Corporation released the trailer, below, that shows how Ronaldo has been reimagined in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves’ comic-inspired art style. He has football attacks (one of Ronaldo’s command moves is called Headed Clearance, and he can slide tackle), and even does his trademark 'Siuuu' celebration, although Ronaldo didn’t do his own voice work - voice actor Juan Felipe Sierra did it...

Call of Duty: Warzone is bringing back the battle royale map that started it all: Verdansk. It’s been just over three years since players last dropped into the beloved location’s iconic POIs, so we’ve taken the time to highlight its biggest changes.
Verdansk is nothing without each individual building that players spent hundreds of hours dodging (and taking) bullets through – and Activision knows it. That’s why veterans who played the OG Warzone map back when it launched in 2020 will find that its Ukraine-inspired streets, rivers, and structures have been brought back almost completely unaltered. It’s the map you know and love, built from the ground up to suit the updated playstyle introduced with Black Ops 6 and squash a few of the...
Activision, Treyarch, and Raven Software have detailed a special Return to Verdansk event and free trial period that will coincide with the launch of the original Call of Duty: Warzone map next week.
The team behind the current iteration of the massively popular military shooter battle royale experience shared everything players could ever want to know about Verdansk’s revival today. Included with a breakdown of all new and returning features, locations, modes, and more was a schedule for the Return to Verdansk event, which includes an ammo crate filled with rewards to earn from launch on April 3 to April 15.
Activision is calling its limited-time event a “celebration” of the return to the open-world map that started it all. It...
Developer Goodwin Games has announced a new survival horror game for PC called Quite a Ride. Built with Unreal Engine 5, you must keep pedaling on your bike in order to keep the fog around you – and the horrors within it – from consuming you. It doesn't have a release date as of yet.
As Goodwin describes it, "You travel by bicycle through a foggy rural landscape filled with eerie secrets and monsters lurking in the dense mist. The game's atmosphere and themes draw inspiration from Stephen King's works and iconic horror films of the '80s and '90s." Check out the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Your phone's battery drains over time and must be recharged by continuing to pedal your bike. And...
Ever since the upcoming DLC for Lies of P, Overture, was announced, fans have been speculating about what mysteries it might contain. And at the Game Developers Conference last week, IGN learned at least one mystery it won’t explain: the base game’s buck-wild twist of a final cutscene.
For those who haven’t yet finished Lies of P, here’s the spoiler-free version: there’s a cutscene that plays at the end of the game that seems to suggest where Neowiz might be taking the Lies of P universe next. It’s a pretty wild twist of a scene, which has left fans speculating how it might be implemented and whether we’ll get an explanation in the DLC. However, Lies of P director Jiwon Choi confirmed that this cutscene isn’t DLC-related. All he’d say...
A good FPS can cure what ails you just so long as what ails you is the need to play a good FPS. Well, the good news is, Assault on Proxima delivers exactly that, packing in loads of style, flair, and downright fun gunplay. This is a sci-fi FPS where you join Strike Force Delta […]

No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games has detailed its latest update, Relics, which lets players become palaeontologists by digging up the skeletal remains of alien creatures. It’s out now across PC, console, and VR for free.
When new bones are discovered, players can piece them together to their own design, Hello Games explained. They can even create their own museums, or share their collections with other players.
“There is a truly huge variety of procedural prehistoric bones, in all shapes and sizes, to excavate and collect,” Hello Games added.
“It’s up to you how you reassemble them and there’s a lot of fun to be had building ever-more outrageous skeletons to put on display in your bases-turned-museums or share with your fellow...
Wouldn’t we all like to know what our future looks like? Well, I decided to take a sneak peek at mine and walk in the shoes of 50-year-old me for a day via InZoi, the new life sim competitor out of Korea looking to take The Sims on at its own game.
Join me as I get accustomed to a new city, try new foods, attempt to make new friends, and even chart a new career. Fair warning, though, that things may get dark quickly as I ignore my stomach's wishes, let cryptocurrency get in the way of a fledgling romance, and go on a journey of self-discover at an empty wedding venue. It's far less interesting for me to describe the video, though, so I think you should just watch is instead. You can do that below!

Amid question marks about the future of The Last of Us video game series, fans are wondering where the story might go next after the HBO series Season 2 and 3 cover off the second video game. Earlier this month, series creator Neil Druckmann cast doubt on the prospect of The Last of Us 3, saying: “I guess the only thing I would say is don’t bet on there being more of ‘Last of Us.’ This could be it.”
But if there’s no The Last of Us 3, would Naughty Dog and Druckmann keep the TV show going past the games?
That’s the question IGN put to Druckmann himself on the red carpet ahead of The Last of Us Season 2 premiere, and he replied to say that while he has an ending of The Last of Us story in mind, because he’s not sure if he’ll get the...
Even 14 years after its launch, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is still one of the finest RPGs to date, with tons of deep lore to enjoy. That's The Skyrim Library, a three-volume collection of texts detailing its massive world and history, a must-buy for any avid fan.
Now that you can buy this collection for just $49.99 in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, your bookshelves can become even more spectacular at a bargain. Just clip the coupon on the product listing for that additional savings.
Originally released in 2017 at $110.00, this The Skyrim Library brings together gorgeous volumes— I: The Histories, II: Man, Mer & Beast, and III: The Arcane— into a deluxe slipcase that can either be displayed on its own or fit neatly into your larger home...
Break out your neck braces because Wreckfest 2 – the hard-ramming, door-slamming second coming of the hit 2018 demolition racer from smash ’em up specialists Bugbear – has officially T-boned Steam early access. With some stunning track design, a rich array of sound refinements, and even better handling than the original, the early signs are extremely promising. Early, however, is the operative word here, and my experience of Wreckfest 2 so far has been a little uneven. While I absolutely adore the driving feel, the throaty roar of overworked engines, and the metal-mashing mayhem, what’s currently being sold is very slim in terms of toys to smash together and I have suffered a number of crashes – but not the kind I crave in a destruction...
Like any soulslike fan, I’m quite accustomed to the process of dying over and over again until I’ve mastered a tough section, but playing through AI Limit was the first time I felt that sense of learned repetition before I’d even died at all. That’s because, aside from its anime-inspired art style and a few minor abilities you unlock throughout the story, this by-the-numbers adventure is without question the most milquetoast and unimaginative game I’ve played in the genre. It pit me against boring and meager enemies, laughably wimpy bosses I was largely able to stomp dead without issue, and a story with almost as little to say as its dull protagonist. In fairness, there’s not much especially awful about what AI Limit is doing (apart...
IGN's Assassin's Creed Shadows interactive map is now available, and it tracks every Collectible, Activity, Main Quest, and Side Quest you can encounter when exploring the nine provinces of feudal Japan.
Unlike previous entries in the Assassin's Creed series, AC Shadows does not automatically remove the fog of war when activating Viewpoints. Instead, you'll be left to manually uncover locations for the likes of all Landmarks, Collectibles, Activities, and even Quests. Thankfully, IGN's AC Shadows interactive map has you covered and is loaded with thousands of map points plotted and ready to help you on your journey across Japan.
See the full Assassin's Creed Shadows Interactive Map for all locations and collectibles.

This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 21st birthday of a series black sheep that still sold many a GameCube, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. As a remake of the '98 PS classic, this was a pretty surreal (and, in parts, misguided) love letter. It was as if Snake had emerged from a time machine, equipped with the control scheme and acrobatics of MGS 2: Sons of Liberty. Helmed by Silicon Knights and injected with the "cinematic flair" of...
A little over half a year after GameStop shut it down in August 2024, Game Informer is officially back and the whole team is returning with it.
In a 'Letter From the Editor' by Game Informer Editor-In-Chief Matt Miller, it was revealed that Gunzilla Games secured the rights to Game Informer from GameStop and that it was planning to bring back not only the editorial team, but "production and beyond."
For those unfamiliar, Gunzilla Games is the game developer and publisher behind the free-to-play extraction battle royale game called Off the Grid, which is now in Early Access. It is also the developer behind GunZ, the "Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem powering community-driven economies in AAA games," including Off the Grid. Additionally...
NetEase Games has released patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327 ahead of Season 2’s launch in mid-April.
The developer behind Marvel’s popular hero shooter published a rundown of everything included in the upcoming update on its website today, promising to bring a series of hero fixes and map tweaks to players this Thursday, March 27. The update will come with no server downtime, meaning you’ll be able to hop in to see how heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist have changed the moment it’s sent live at 9am (UTC+0).
One highlight included in this latest Marvel Rivals Season 1 update is a surprise addition to the Galacta’s Cosmic Quest board game event. It’s a special April Fool’s Easter egg gift that’s only available to those...
Five years ago, when Mike and Amy Morhaime founded Dreamhaven, I spoke with several of the founding members about their vision for the company. In our interview, they told me about wanting to build a sustainable publishing and support pillar for game studios, both the two they were founding at the time (Moonshot and Secret Door) and other partners they chose to work with.
At the end of our interview, Mike Morhaime shared a rather bold goal for the new company:
"We want, if I may be so bold as to say, to be a beacon to the industry," he told me, referring back to the company’s lighthouse logo art. "There's a better way of approaching the business of games and the operation of a game company that can produce great results, both in terms...
I guess I sorta suspected the day would come when my inner despot would awaken to wreak havoc on the galaxy, but I was surprised just how quickly it went down, after just a few minutes with the upcoming space-faring shooter: Wildgate. This chaotic sci-fi first-person shooter blends PvE and PvP objectives alongside exploration and combat on foot and aboard a ship that requires multiple people to operate – a formula that may feel quite familiar to any fellow Sea of Thieves fans. But unlike Sea of Thieves, where the chaos of player-on-player piracy is a somewhat infrequent and optional distraction, in Wildgate it’s the primary focus, and the inevitable clash of geared-up crews left me feeling the same heart-pounding intensity of a battle...
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been hit with another delay that will see its release date arriving in October 2025.
It’s a somewhat smaller delay following years of schedule changes that was tucked into a recent game update video uploaded by publisher Paradox Interactive and developer The Chinese Room. It’s a few months later than the previous plan to see the long-awaited sequel arrive in the first half of the year, but it at least comes with the promise that the game itself is finished.
“The status of the game right now is that the game is done,” Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodline 2 Executive Producer Marco Behrmann explained. “We are currently focusing on bug fixing, stability, and performance so that we can deliver the...
