Assassins

I’ve done a lot of memorable things in VR this year. I’ve climbed mountains, commanded hundreds of tiny people, and even paddled through the seas in a kayak. With Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, I get to add another virtual feat to that list: I’ve jumped down on top of an unsuspecting guard and plunged a hidden blade into his throat with pinpoint accuracy. And I’m a little worried about how delighted I am by that. Ubisoft has been a long-time supporter of VR going back to early standouts like Eagle Flight, but Assassin’s…

Assassin's Creed Mirage is prepping for its October 5 launch and ahead of that, Ubisoft has dropped system requirements for the same. Unlike the norm with AAA PC games these days, this ninth-century Baghdad-set title appears to be rather forgiving on hardware, essentially going back an entire graphics generation. Running the game on Ultra settings does not require AMD's latest 7000 or Nvidia's 40 series cards. That said, the accompanying ‘PC Features' trailer shows Intel as its official partner, assuring that it's been…

Assassin's Creed Mirage is prepping to release this week, and before that, we've received global launch timings for the same. Ubisoft tweeted an infographic listing different timezones that point toward a staggered release — meaning the game unlocks at different times across the world. On console, the ninth-century Baghdad-set title goes live at midnight local time on October 5, which means the more impatient players can try changing their system's location to New Zealand to try and get in early.

October is here and the month brings a non-stop train of game releases. It is perhaps the busiest month in gaming this year, with major titles fighting for space in the tight window of four weeks. Kicking off things on October 5 is Assassin's Creed Mirage, Ubisoft's next chapter in the long-running assassin's saga. This time, the game opts to shrink its scope and return to its roots with a more stealth and assassinations-based approach. The last three AC titles had adhered to a Witcher 3-style expansive RPG style, drawing…

Assassin's Creed Red's female protagonist has seemingly leaked online. As per Eurogamer, Ubisoft writer Pierre Boudreau inadvertently set his LinkedIn header image to feature the unnamed lead, who is seen wearing the iconic hooded cloak against a red background, while wielding a katana. The original photo featuring the signature logo has since been replaced with an image of Eivor, Assassin's Creed Valhalla's protagonist. This aligns with the studio's own claims from a 2022 presentation, where it confirmed that players…

Voice actor Victoria Atkin, who played Evie Frye in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, has criticised the use of artificial intelligence software to simulate voices for mods, calling it an “invisible enemy.” “I was kind of shocked, really, that it’s been used without my say, without my consent, it’s just out there,” she said in an interview with IGN on the realisation that her voice was featured in a mod without her permission. “To think that my living could be taken away because somebody could copy it and modify it and make me…

Last month, Ubisoft opened registrations for the closed beta of its upcoming Assassin’s Creed mobile game ‘Codename Jade’. However, the gaming studio didn’t confirm the date of the event at that time. The company has updated its blog post to announce the closed beta test of the upcoming mobile title will be held between August 3 and August 11. Interested players can still sign up to request access to the Codename Jade closed beta from the game’s official website. The global closed beta will be available on both Android…

The next chapter of Assassin’s Creed could come sooner than later Ubisoft has been enduring turbulent times during the last few years. Underperforming titles have caused the company to take more cautious steps, leading to previously announced titles, such as Ghost Recon Frontline, getting canceled. The Assassin’s Creed franchise has been spared the brutal culling, and fans can expect several more future entries, including a new entry for mobile phones. It is codenamed Assassin’s Creed Jade, and though many details are…
