Developed in secret by Ubisoft Montreal for years, and calling on a game engine essentially built from the ground up, to say there is pressure to deliver would be an understatement. That’s partly due to the setting, finally bringing the series’ blend of swordplay and stealth to the long-demanded French Revolution. And though Unity returns to the streets and structures of past adventures, it’s taking a risk all its own: picking the lone city of 19th Century Paris and sticking with it....

Astori, 31, was found dead in his hotel room ahead of Fiorentina’s match at Udinese on Sunday, with all Serie A matches consequently postponed. The cause of the defender’s death remains unclear, but an autopsy is due to be conducted while the rest of the squad fly back to Florence. Astori earned four of his 14 Italy caps under Conte between 2014 and 2016. “[The news] really hurt me. It’s very difficult in this moment to find the right words for the family,” Conte told Sky Sports ahead of Chelsea’s match against Manchester City....

At the time, the people of Midland had no way of knowing that they were actors in a larger drama about the national Zeitgeist–America in 1987 was coming out of the cold war and entering a confessional age that transforms domestic traumas into popular obsessions.

What does Salvo mean to Apex Legends lore? Based on previous teasers and in-game statements from existing characters in Apex Legends, Salvo is a “fringe” planet in the game’s universe, and it emphasizes explosives. When pinging the Inauguration Ship, Octane says “Hey, always wanted to check out the fringe! I heard they have a planet where everybody’s got a rocket launcher.” To make matters more interesting, Bangalore’s ping line suggests some sort of struggle between the Salvo and the rest of Syndicate....

GOP Senators Mike Lee and Thom Tillis also tested positive, as well as former White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway—whom Barr was seen in close contact with during the event....

[HTML1] The developers at Ubisoft are no strangers to historical fiction or accuracy, having made the Crusades and the Renaissance come to life in the Assassin’s Creed series. Yet those setting were almost always in the background, providing a place and time for the main characters, not shaping and directing them, and certainly not bending to their will. With Assassin’s Creed 3, that’s all changed. A new setting that will be influencing nearly every facet of the story, and a new hero that may help turn the war in one side’s favor means tackling more than a few touchy subject....

Liberation, as revealed during Sony’s E3 press conference, is a completely separate story from its console counterpart.

Weapons may be somewhat overlooked in a gaming world filled with more shooters and third-person slice-and-dicers than ever, but as Freud tells us, a sword is rarely ever just a sword.

Ultimately, theories of a Native American hero were proven accurate when Connor was introduced to fans as the newest ancestor of Desmond Miles....

Realistically, Ubisoft wants to keep the Assassin’s Creed franchise going for as long as fans will let it.

What may please AC fans to hear is the fact that Ubisoft — when looking over a list of Top 10 things fans want answered from the series — is answering at least seven of those lingering questions....

Aubameyang scored the only goal when Dortmund won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Signal Iduna Park in November and has 25 goals in as many Bundesliga games this term.
