Source: Ubisoft / Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the next installment in Ubisoft’s famed Assassin’s Creed franchise, is about to drop in about under a month. I had a chance to experience a whopping 6 hours of gameplay of the game in an exclusive preview, which left me feeling very optimistic about the forthcoming title. Pre-COVID-19, Ubisoft would have invited us out to get hands-on with the game, but they had to improvise like every other industry and company.

Due to a leak shared by Windows Central, Microsoft confirmed the $299 price for the less-powerful Xbox Series S next-gen console but still left its release date in the air while promising to share new info with us “soon.” Well, that information came a lot sooner than we thought it would.

Thanks to the community for their support and encouragement 🙂 Great to see the reactions, really proud of how the team handled the unscripted announce (was supposed to be next week but oh well…). Can’t wait for launch. https://t.co/CxXWDVmmNw — Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) September 9, 2020 Wednesday (Sept.9), Microsoft also confirmed th...

Before we got to see the game in action, a cinematic trailer detailing the third game in the Watchdog franchise introduced us to the protagonists of the game while unveiling the futuristic London setting the game will take place in. [embedded content] Once that wrapped, we were treated to a breakdown of the many protagonists we can look forward to using in the game through recruitment. In the gameplay overview trailer, we learn that there is no one way to complete a mission in the game and that each cha...
Source: Ubisoft / Ubisoft Forward With multiple gaming shows around the world being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, gaming studios and console makers have to take matters into their own hands. Sony and Microsoft both held events to stay ahead of leaks and bring gamers up to speed on their next-generation consoles, the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Both events were not well received due to not living up to the expectations both companies put on them. Fresh off its reveal of their forthcoming game, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ubisoft has announced it will be holding a live stream event called Ubisoft Forward in July. In a press release, it is being described as an E3-style showcase with exclusive game news, exciting reveals, and plenty more. Besides being told to “save to the date,” there is ...
