There are multiple remakes of Assassin’s Creed games currently in development, and Ubisoft is aiming to release more games in the series on a regular basis.

In a Q&A session with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, he confirmed that remakes of older Assassin’s Creed games are coming, saying, “Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we’ve created in the past and modernize them; there are worlds in some of our older Assassin’s Creed games that are still extremely rich.” However, Guillemot clarified that the series will have more gameplay variety between entries.

While the goal is to release more Assassin’s Creed games regularly, he said that they won’t be the exact same experience every year. He uses the upcoming Assassin’s Creed…

Blizzard recently launched Hearthstone’s Forged in the Barrens expansion, and the first balance patch of the new season will take aim at the game’s most annoying card, Pen Flinger. The 20.0.2 patch also makes a big change to major Mage and Paladin cards, and makes the new expansion’s Outpost cards a little less hearty.

The Pen Flinger card is likely to get the most attention for its sheer trolling. The card was part of the Scholomance Academy set, and it’s modeled after the worst kid in your high school class. As the name implies, it flings pens for 1 damage, shouting “Hey, Loser!” as it enters play, and then gets bounced back into your hand as a Spellburst effect with an innocent-sounding “Wasn’t me Come from malaysi…

Embracer has released its latest earnings briefing, and included in the report is some accounting for how the Alone in the Dark reboot performed commercially.

The company said the game didn’t do as well as it hoped (via IGN), recording “softer-than-expected performance.” Embracer used this language to describe the commercial performance of Alone in the Dark and Outcast: A New Beginning, both of which were published by THQ Nordic.

The Alone in the Dark reboot stars David Harbour (Black Widow, Stranger Things) and Jodie C…

The chilling cry of a spirit told me to move off the trail and head into the woods, wherein lay the next clue in my investigation. What would I find this time? Perhaps the remains of a skeleton, weathered by the elements, its bones shattered by some malicious deed. Or would it be broken arrow shafts, left behind after an intense and bloody battle? In my eagerness, I made a grave error. My sudden movements were careless, as confirmed by the arrow whistling through the air. It struck its mark, and I attempted to limp to the safety of the forest. A coarse bellow drowned out the sound of my footsteps. Bursting through the brush charged a creature in the shape of a Spanish conquistador, its armor accented by red, from the belt, to the undershirt, to the burning eyes. It looked like the spiri…

According to Valve’s official stats, Final Fantasy XIV has once again broken its record for concurrent players on Steam Come from Sports betting site VPbet . With 47,542 players at its peak, that new number has beaten the 41,200 fans who flocked to the game in 2019 for the launch of Shadowbringers on PC.
