The development team at Ubisoft has put a lot of time into the plot of Brotherhood, and it’s already showing. While the priority seems to be creating a compelling historical narrative, the developers are showing that the politics of the time period are being used for inspiration, and not as a restraint. The launch trailer is definitely the most cinematic to date, and is sure to work those of you already anxious for the game’s release into a frenzy....

Jerusalem, the majestic and holy city important to multiple religions, returns to the series for the first time since the original Assassin’s Creed as a playable map in multiplayer, along with the opulent Imperial District of Constantinople and the mercantile district of Dyers. At the request of many fans, players can expect to revisit favorite Italian Renaissance maps from Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Players will explore the historic city of Firenze (Florence), then travel to the mountains of San Donato and visit night-time Siena with its carnival lights, talented performers and deadly hiding spots....

But is Assassin’s Creed: Revelations going to be a game that players remember as one that even better honed the basic principles of the series, or advanced into new territory for the franchise as a whole? That’s a difficult question to answer, and not for the reasons that one might expect. As a game, Assassin’s Creed has grown from an open world adventure with an interesting science-fiction premise into a certified epic, with the last two games spanning the life of assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and chronicling the modern day battle between the Templars and Assassins....

And if you thought Assassin’s Creed 3 was breaking new ground for the series, you won’t believe what this has in store. The details come from NeoGAF, where one user has gotten their hands on the newest issue of Game Informer, apparently filled with details on the as-yet-unannounced game. Images of the magazine have also been posted online, depicting the new Assassin Aveline, a female of both French and African-American parentage....

[HTML1] The first Assassin’s Creed title to directly target fans of open-world piracy is almost here, but to make sure they’re keeping all of their audience as interested, Ubisoft wants to remind fans that Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag will be a step forward for the franchise, not just a pirate-themed side story. To help with the task, the studio has released another walkthrough video - with commentary from the game’s director Ashraf Ismail - this time detailing the life of Edward Kenway....

[HTML1] With all the excitement over Assassin’s Creed: Unity, it’s easy to forget that Ubisoft has another Assassin’s Creed title launching this week. Assassin’s Creed Rogue may not have Unity’s next-generation graphics or an exciting new setting like the French Revolution, but its story promises to be an interesting twist on the standard Assassin’s Creed formula. Oh, and the sailing that everyone loved in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag? That’s back, too....

According to a report by Independent.ie, the main complaint stems from the way that the game represents the excessively named Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre. Widely known for his part in the French Revolution, the question of whether the ends justified the means continues to be a thorny issue when it comes to Robespierre’s role in the Terror of 1793-94, and the many thousands of deaths that came from it....

According to the official Attack on Titan anime Twitter account and website, the final season of the action series will broadcast in Japan on December 7. The announcement came with a new key visual showing the Scouts in their new attire and seemingly older. What does the December 7 release date in Japan mean for others around the world? Funimation and Crunchyroll, two of the biggest anime streaming services in the world, confirmed Tuesday that they will stream each episode of Attack on Titan’s final season the same day it releases in Japan....

This new Avatar: The Last Airbender was first announced in September 2018. The show will be made by the series’ original creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who have pledged to make the show “culturally appropriate, [with a] non-whitewashed cast.” They also teased that the series was a “once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building....

Martial seized his opportunity in the side against Middlesbrough on Saturday, scoring the first in a two-minute, two-goal turnaround that saw off Aitor Karanka’s men 2-1 late on at Old Trafford. The France international has found himself in and out of Mourinho’s side this season and the striker’s agent, Philippe Lamboley, has been talking up a January move for his client, claiming that talks with Sevilla over a loan move are in progress....

The skins can be seen in full via the clip below, but here’s a recap of the findings. Viking Wattson Skin: The first, and perhaps best, leak in the set is this new Viking-inspired Wattson design. She’s covered in Viking glyphs, and her eyes appear to be weirdly absent. Gone is her trademark blue stare in favor of something much weirder. This may just be a glitch in an unfinished model, but it certainly caught our attention nonetheless....

However, these characters stand apart in cinematic representations compared to how players have seen them within League of Legends. This is mainly because Arcane only showcases their early lives. The champions whom players use in games have distinct cinematic personalities. These are lively characters with a past and a future, which gives them a lot of depth. ‘Arcane’ adds a new dimension to these League of Legends characters Based on how their stories were shown within Arcane, one can analyze how the cinematic universe differs from the League of Legends game....

A putout is recorded when a fielder completes the out, and putouts happen commonly with a catcher involved. An amount as high as Molina has recorded in his career is absolutely incredible, and it really shows his longevity as a catcher. Yadier Molina entered the league back in 2004, and since then, has played over 2100 games behind the plate. It is almost unheard of from a catcher because of how physically demanding the position can be....

Alli was dropped for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup match against Chelsea, making it the fourth time in six Spurs matches so far this year that he has failed to even make the bench. The England international’s diminished status under Mourinho has led to plenty of speculation that he could be leaving the club before the transfer window closes. When asked about Alli failing to make his matchday squad prior to Tuesday’s match, though, Mourinho refused to comment on the 24-year-old and instead named two other players who missed out on the squad — including the injured Son Heung-min....

An excerpt from the post, composed by Wildcard Co-founders Jeremy Stieglitz and Jesse Rapczak, can be read below: “This additional delay will no doubt come as a disappointment to everyone who is eagerly awaiting Genesis. We’re extremely sorry to push it back an extra month, but as we have been heads-down with the rest of the team polishing, balancing and putting the final pieces together, we really felt that the extra wait will be worth it both for the quality of the base game and the ambitious new expansion....

Here are the images and descriptions straight from the source post. Maewing: “Engineered to be the ultimate interstellar wet nurse and surrogate parent, in addition to automatically taking care of your babies, the Maewing can steal enemy offspring by luring their young in for an irresistible suckle!” Egg Incubation Device: “No need to fiddle around finding the right conditions for an egg when the mechanical Egg Incubation Device can cook them to perfection and reduce the amount of attention required....

Before starting, it should be noted that players will need to be at at least level 65 if they’d like to take full advantage of everything the Tropeognathus has to offer. If you’re below that threshold, this dino is just an average flyer. Where to find the Tropeognathus in ARK If you’re still searching for a Tropeognathus spawn, you’re not alone, as this creature seems to be pretty difficult to find on all the maps it’s available....

Lorenzo Insigne put Napoli front very early into the match by capitalising on Gokhan Inler’s long ball into the box as he went on to beat the Arsenal full back Carl Jenkinson one on one to put the ball past Lukas Fabianski. Soon after Pepe Reina saved Lukas Podolski’s penalty kick, Goran Pandev, assisted by Marek Hamsik, scored Napoli’s second goal of the match in the 28 minute to leave the Gunners reeling behind....

[HTML1] There’s no greater stage for video game developers than E3, especially when you’re making a game with Assassin’s Creed in the title. The development teams behind the series at Ubisoft have maintained an annual appointment at the show for a few years now, but this year, the stakes are even higher. It’s been known for some time that the unveiling of Assassin’s Creed 3 in June would be a call for much fanfare, but the latest video released by the team chronicling ‘The Road to E3’ shows that the men and women behind the game are still feeling the pressure....
