Even those only vaguely familiar with video games probably know names like Super Mario, Grand Theft Auto, and Call of Duty. They’re the franchises that have come to dominate gaming over the last 50 years or so. Some of those franchises are currently being updated almost every year, while the new releases in others have become milestone events that seem to reshape the industry. New franchises come along and others fade away, but the biggest and best video game franchises have been slowly growing for years and, in some cases, decades.
Honestly, it can all be a little difficult to keep up with. For as significant as gaming’s biggest franchises are, they’re also…well, big. Over a long enough period of time, it’s easy to forget when specific games in certain franchises were released and where exactly they fit into the history of those series. You may know the names,...

The Assassin’s Creed series has featured several historical eras so far, and Ubisoft seems keen on exploring even more. Mirage was in 9th-century Baghdad, the upcoming Red will be set in feudal Japan, and Hexe is rumored to be set in Central Europe during the 16th-century Roman Empire.
The possibilities seem endless with the franchise, and a cheeky hint from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla‘s senior writer, Alain Mercieca may point to another historical backdrop the series could venture to in the future: Brazil.
The Spanish Conquest Has Yet To Be Explored In The Series
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag slightly touched on the Spanish conquest, but didn’t really explore it beyond that.
In an interview with The Gamer, Mercieca expressed his personal interest in exploring South America, particularly the time period surrounding the Spanish Conquistadors:

Far Cry 2 is considered to be a cult hit nowadays. While most gamers might not care for it as much, fans of simulation games with a lot of exploration do not mind spending hours exploring the world of Far Cry 2. The game was a decent success too; its last recorded sales number was 2.9 million. And Ubisoft considered it a decent hit.
Besides featuring a very rough location that tested gamers at every step, this game also did away with a bunch of other shooter conventions. It did not have a mini-map, which had become the norm in open-world games back then. One can say that Far Cry 2 was without a doubt a unique game that deserved all the success it got. Given how its director thought back then, it makes sense they made such a game.

While hopes for a fresh Watch Dogs release have been officially extinguished by Ubisoft, the recent release of Watch Dogs: Tokyo, a manga based on the premises of the popular franchise might just be enough to bring the fans together again and demand another video game release, based in world’s most crowded city this time around.
Watch Dogs: Tokyo is a new manga series
The new manga is exactly what many players needed at the time, especially those who have been following the game for a long time, and are disheartened by the discontinuation of the series’ production.
Watch Dogs: Tokyo – Is The Franchise Finally Coming Back?
It was nearly a decade ago that the first ever Watch Dogs title was released for gamers to enjoy, bringing with itself a lot of mechanics that were never seen before in the industry, and the potential for just as many to be introduced in the future.

2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla may be not be the biggest game in the series, but it’s the longest for sure, requiring around 60 hours to complete the main story, and around 146 hours to 100% the game. It also allowed players to choose between a female protagonist or a male protagonist.
However, Valhalla went one step further with the ‘Let the Animus choose’ option for Eivor, which broke away from the standard male/female selection by changing the character’s gender throughout the game, and according to producer Julien Laferrière, that may be the intended way to play the game.
Eivor’s Gender Can Shift According To Story Moments The interlinking of Eivor’s gender with the Animus is a very interesting way to explore the character.
Speaking with Game Informer, Laferrière shed light on the thought process behind this offbeat approach to character portrayal:

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise has long walked the tightrope between historical accuracy and engaging gameplay. The latest entry in the series, 2023’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage, promises a back-to-basics approach, with a focus on 9th-century Baghdad and parkour-intensive gameplay.
While Ubisoft has gone to great lengths to simulate Baghdad as period-accurate as possible, like including the linguistic diversity of the city, studio historian Ralph Weyland admits that the developers had to take some liberties with historical depiction for gameplay purposes.
Ubisoft “Literally Moved Mountains” For Assassin’s Creed Mirage
The mountains in the background should be much further away, says Weyland.
In an interview with Game Rant, Weyland acknowledged that while Mirage strives for authenticity, certain elements had to be adjusted to “help gameplay.” One such instance is the surrounding mountains:
I can give you three quick examples. The first one is that when you’re in the city on the walls,...

It is not an everyday scenario that a studio gets the chance to connect one of their successful franchises with another one, saving both of them in the process. This is exactly what Ubisoft chose to give up as Watch Dogs could have potentially been saved by ultimately becoming a modern-day Assassin’s Creed title.
Watch Dogs could have potentially merged with Assassin’s Creed
Unfortunately, with the franchise being over for now, it remains next to impossible that the studio will implement the above-stated idea, allowing it to go down the drain once and for all.

Breaking the long-standing curse of disappointing video game adaptations, Fallout and The Last of Us have now attained a gold-standard status amongst gamers being delivered faithful small-screen versions of games they pour hours into. This comes after years of inaccurate and shoddy live-actions that have left a stain on the industry, and for viewers and gamers alike.

While we’re still waiting for Resident Evil to give us our favorite Backstreet Boy-looking Leon Kennedy in a perfectly adapted series, and debating whether a triangular…chest is indeed peak Lara Croft, there are some games that deserve another go— Not as a game since they continually bombed, but as a TV show, since their stories can be done a lot more justice.
And while Ubisoft has broken our hearts with a terrible Assassin’s Creed adaptation, there is one more game that is now thought to be long dead.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Ubisoft’s latest entry in the franchise, transports players back to the hustle and bustle of 9th-century Baghdad. Critics have praised the return to the series’ roots with its focus on parkour, hidden blade assassinations, and a smaller, more focused approach compared to the bloated Valhalla in 2020.
The newest Assassin’s Creed title may have flown under the radar among the other huge launches in the second half of 2023. However, one aspect of Mirage‘s historical accuracy deserves due credit.
A Medley Of Languages Was Key To Simulating Baghdad The busy streets of Baghdad in Assassin’s Creed Mirage have period-accurate linguistic diversity.
In an interview with Game Rant, Ubisoft historian Raphael Weyland highlighted the importance of portraying Baghdad’s multicultural identity in Mirage:
Yes, I really, really wanted to make sure that the city felt like it was inhabited by multiple people, people from multiple backgrounds.

Ubisoft is well-known for spending significant time researching before creating a new installment for their award-winning historical action-adventure video game series, Assassin’s Creed. With the latest installment, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, Ubisoft once again delivered historically accurate 9th-century Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age. Not many people know that this game was initially going to be an expansion for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but was later reworked into a standalone title.

Just like Mirage, Ubisoft put historians and researchers to work to accurately portray Vikings in the years 872-878 Ad. At the time of its release, players were confused as to why Ubisoft chose this period as it is not widely known that Vikings also used stealth strategies. A common misconception is that Vikings relied on more direct combat, but there is proof that this community had sneaky approaches as well. The game’s senior writer,...

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed is indeed one of the most popular franchises in the world that began with 2007’s Assassin’s Creed video game. The game set the base for one of the biggest historical action-adventure video game series of this era and it continues to dominate the market 17 years later. The latest installment in the franchise, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, took players back to 9th-century Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age, particularly the Anarchy at Samarra period.

Video games are evolving at a rapid rate. Changing from linear experiences to dynamic ones, thanks to games like Helldivers 2. Other things that have been increasingly implemented in video games are the moral implications that shape gameplay. Some suggest Ubisoft would bring something similar to Far Cry 7, changing the franchise for the better.
They had a chance of doing it years ago with Rainbow Six: Patriots, but that was scrapped in favor of Siege. Afterward, they tried implementing this in a number of their games, but in a very small way. There were some choices in Assassin’s Creed games; even Far Cry games had those, but they did not change the output drastically. But now things would supposedly be a bit different. One must say that if they have decided to bring this change to Far Cry 7, they can also bring an incredible new feature from Rise of the Ronin.

English actor Andrew Lincoln came into prominence with shows like This Life and Teachers, before becoming popular because of his role in the Christmas rom-com, Love Actually (2003). He played the role of a man in love with his best friend’s wife, opposite Kiera Knightley, and his confession was one for the books. That day, we all fell in love with Mark, and in extension, Andrew Lincoln.

Back in 2012, Ubisoft decided to show their fans an incredible new game called Watch Dogs. This game was to start a brand-new IP featuring a protagonist who could hack everything he could see. The first thing gamers noticed about that game was its visuals. Then came the gameplay: a character running around a city, hacking traffic signals and bridges using his cell phone. It looked just incredible.
Ubisoft saw much promise in this new game, and fans were pretty hyped too. This game seemed like one’s ultimate power fantasy had come to life. Eventually, the game was released to a mixed-to-positive response from fans as well as critics. This is how the Watch Dogs franchise started, but no one saw it ending so soon.

Ubisoft found themselves in hot water recently when it was revealed that one of the missions featuring Jabba the Hutt in the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws game would be sold as day one Dlc and locked behind a pricey paywall and the game’s special edition. Understandably this went on to cause much anger in the community, especially as Jabba has featured heavily in marketing to this point.
The games industry is at a very interesting point, the last few years have seen an increase in games as a service, micro-transactions, and Dlc. There has also been even more pushback from players, as games seem to be more about being vehicles used to make a quick buck, than being actual creative endeavors from studios that want to make a stamp on the medium.

One of the game’s best features is how the players come across a large number of characters in their journey to become the Elden Lord. While many of these turn out to be hostile to the players, some of them end up being loved unconditionally by the fans, and one would have a hard time believing how Ranni the Witch, a fellow Npc is voiced by an actress who also stars in the popular show, Peaky Blinders.

Creative Director Stephane Boudon and Art Director Jean-Luc Sala answered only a handful questions, one of which was,
“Did you ever think about making a Dlc/new storyline contents for the game, considering how well it was received by the community?”
Just last year, Stephane had confirmed that Mirage would be a standalone game and wouldn’t receive any story expansions. In the Ama today, Stephane reiterated,
“We’re thrill by the reception of Mirage! Mirage as been design as a standalone experience without any Dlc plan. However, we have ideas on how we could extend the story of Basim, surely.”

Out of all the themes that the Assassin’s Creed franchise manages to craft an experience around, history happens to be a big one. From the shady pathways of London in 1868 to the mystical and open landscapes of ancient Greece, the franchise has managed to tell several stories from many parts of human history.
However, things may be a little difficult to grasp with Assassin’s Creed Hexe in this aspect, especially when magic and spells might take the center of attention. While Ubisoft is trying to manage both realism and fantasy with this one, only time will tell how it truly turns out.

It’s like everyone is planning a battle royale game for their franchises, and Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs is no different. Well, ‘would have been no different’ is more appropriate, as the studio’s battle-royale game will likely never see the light of day. After all, a new game can’t be released from an already-dead franchise.
This might be news to some fans, but others would have seen the writing on the walls a while ago. While some franchises experience a natural death with the conclusion of their stories, others are forcibly interred due to their lack of profitability. It’s disappointing to see the franchise fall into the latter category, with a potential title that could have saved the series.
Watch Dogs Battle Royale Dead Before It Was Even Announced The Watch Dogs battle-royale game didn’t even make it to a pitch.

It seems Ubisoft just can’t catch a break these days. The company is constantly in the news, more often for controversy than most other gaming studios. Whether it’s for a title that missed the mark or a bad business decision, gamers are using everything they can to call out the company.
The issue is that Ubisoft is giving these gamers ammo to use against them. Such as the latest confirmation from an insider, which, if true, could turn a lot of people against the studio. By burying a beloved franchise after creating lackluster sequels, the studio better have a strong PR team.

As the release of Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws approaches, fans are eager to see the tons of exciting features awaiting them in the galaxy far, far away.
Narrative Director Navid Khavari’s promise of customizable viewing modes is a much-welcome addition among these. With forced aspect ratios being such a common occurrence in games these days, it’s refreshing to see Outlaws take a more player-friendly direction.

Star Wars Outlaws is set in a universe that transpires a criminal underworld, a massive open world, and characters that we haven’t been acquainted with before. Given how Ubisoft is behind this upcoming title, there are instances of the game that will feel similar to the Assassin’s Creed games.
The game’s narrative director, Navid Khavari, has been keen on letting fans know that not only will the game resemble some of their favorite Star Wars adventures, but it will also borrow aspects from a few game mechanics that made previous Ubisoft games so popular.
Star Wars Outlaws isn’t skipping out on some familiar open-world components So far, it looks like the game’s universe is going to blend multiple forms of combat.

Fallout and Skyrim are two names that almost every gamer is familiar with, so a new indie game by one of their creators should be on players’ radars. After leaving Bethesda and founding his own studio, Just Purkey Games, Nate Purkeypile is gearing up to unleash his heavy metal horror game The Axis Unseen this year.
However, despite being an indie effort with a smaller budget, its take on one gaming aspect is worth taking note of, especially when even Aaa games haven’t been able to perfectly implement it.

Ubisoft is currently hard at work on multiple Assassin’s Creed titles. Two of them have already been confirmed; one is Codename Red, which is apparently set in Japan. The other more prominent one is Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe, which is set in central Europe. It would supposedly be set during the 16th-century Holy Roman Empire.
It would entail a story that would be crossed over with the mass hysteria during which around 80,000 people were unjustly executed for the crime of witchcraft. There’s no hint as to what the game’s protagonist would look like or who that would be. Fans are guessing that it would probably be a witch. Now a leak suggests that this game would be a scary experience for anyone who dares to play it.

Civil War is an extremely powerful, effective movie that thrusts you into the middle of an American civil war seen through the eyes of a war photographer. It’s brutal. It’s extraordinarily violent. The sound design is bordering on abusive. And if you watch it in IMAX you can reasonably expect to leave the theater with more than a little motion sickness. It is, however, excellent, with great performances from Kirsten Dunst as the older, jaded photographer and Cailee Spaeny as the reckless youngster new to the game. So see it. But we’d be very surprised if you decide to rush back for a second viewing.

7 Pirate Games to Sink Your Sword Into if You Missed out on PlayStation’s Sea of Thieves Closed Beta
Sea of Thieves was a massive hit for Xbox. The title frequently received updates and new content, ensuring it stayed relevant in the grand scheme. A closed beta was also announced after it was confirmed to be coming to PlayStation.
However, as the name implies, not everyone can make it to the closed beta, and only a few can sail the high seas with the ship’s crew of their choice. But there are still other titles that should whet your appetite before the title’s full release on the PS5.

The more versatile an actor is, the more in demand they are. One of the major skills that an actor needs to grab more projects is the ability to change accents at will. This becomes even more essential when you are in the animation industry, where the way you speak can severely impact the quality of the entire production.

Video game developer Todd Howard has been looking forward to a cinematic adaptation of the game Fallout for over fifteen years. The developer reportedly thought of Jonathan Nolan after seeing his work on The Dark Knight and wished for him to adapt the beloved video game franchise to TV. His wish came true, as Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout recently began streaming.
Fallout is another video game adaptation that is getting positive reviews like last year’s Pedro Pascal starrer, The Last of Us. Howard mentioned that he loved The Last of Us as a game too, and had immediately thought how it would be as a movie. However, with Fallout, the team had to go in a different direction than the games as it was an open-world video game.

The Long Game released April 12, 2024.
Dennis Quaid is a man I grew up with. As a child I watched his films on repeat with a select few being near weekly viewings. In a way, he was my unconventional babysitter. Through Jaws 3D, Inner Space, Enemy Mine and Dragonheart I was whisked away to magical lands and instilled with a lifelong fear of sharks that haunts me to this day. So, when I was given the opportunity to speak with him about the positively charming The Long Game, I jumped at the chance.
Based on the novel Mustang Miracle, the film tells the true story of the San Filipe Mustangs. They were a group of Mexican-American teenagers in the 1950’s who stood up to racism through their love for the sport of Golf. Dennis Quaid plays the team’s coach, Frank Mitchell. You can check out my review of the film here.

Assassin’s Creed Red is Ubisoft’s answer to fans who have been demanding a samurai or ninja-style game set in feudal Japan but it seems like the interest has died down ever since PlayStation filled in the void with Ghost of Tsushima. Although it is unofficially announced, Sucker Punch Production’s next project is most likely the anticipated sequel.
The genre has grown through the years and the gaming community’s curiosity has piqued immensely. Ghost of Tsushima 2 could carry the strength of the original while incorporating some concepts from Assasin’s Creed to become the ultimate samurai game.

As players await for any sign of confirmation or leaks on Ghost of Tsushima 2, players have some relief, albeit after having waited for eons, in the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima 1, arriving 16th May, 2024. Sucker Punch delivered a masterpiece of a game in 2020, one that players still revisit and discover new secrets or even master combat on.
Upon its arrival, the game had a shadow cast upon its back- “An Assassin’s Creed Japan game”. While it is flattering to a degree, Ghost of Tsushima set itself apart from the likes of Assassin’s Creed. Whether it was the clever use of Guiding Winds for traversal, the map not being unusually large and tedious to complete, or the combat having excellent variety.
Standoffs in Ghost of Tsushima were a fun element, and a great test of reflexes.

Live-action adaptations of famous video game series are often something producers use to give a fresh feeling to the franchise. Unfortunately, these adaptations haven’t particularly been successful, and that is due to many different causes, one of them being the choice of cast.
Disappointment is a recurring term when it comes to adaptations of video games into a movie or a series, and it becomes even more saddening when it features a cast of renowned actors such as Dwayne Johnson. Following are some of the movies that the actor has done but ultimately let down the watchers.

Star Wars Outlaws is the latest game made by Ubisoft that will catch the eyes and ears of fans of the franchise and allow them to fulfill their fantasy of being immersed in a galaxy far, far away. The game will feature an open world and will showcase the power of current-gen systems giving the players a more in-depth and detailed look at the various worlds of Star Wars.
Ubisoft has a traditional formula of how they usually develop their games but the recent gameplay shows a great deviation. It can be viewed as a positive change of pace within the studio for willingly experimenting with different ways of how to build an open world. Star Wars Outlaws is set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi which could explain the game’s fast-paced nature and combat.
