Even though the games which will not be receiving online services anymore were originally released over ten years ago, some of them still have a solid gaming community. Furthermore, some games have not had new installments recently which makes the news even sadder for fans. For instance, the iconic stealth game Splinter Cell: Conviction includes a huge co-op campaign that cannot be completed without online services.

Guerin reportedly spoke to Redditor TDCAUGirl at a Ubisoft event in Brazil. TDCAUGirl asked Guerin about how modern day gameplay would work in Assassin’s Creed Origins, and while he didn’t offer specifics, he teased that fans should pay attention to the loading screens that appear when they de-synchronize in the game. Apparently, the de-synchronization process in Assassin’s Creed Origins features symbols that are similar to the ones seen in the poorly-received Assassin’s Creed movie....

It is no secret that the aforementioned RPG elements of newer Assassin’s Creed titles have created a significantly different identity for the franchise, which has caused a divide within the community. Due to the more intimate scale of the rumored Rift, Ubisoft would do well to remove RPG elements altogether.

One of the most recent victims to come forward is voice actress Victoria Atkin, who voiced Assassin’s Creed Syndicate protagonist Evie Frye in 2015.

For those who haven’t begun the Sigrblot Festival, a cutscene should automatically play upon returning to Ravensthorpe. The area players must first look to is in the eastern part of Ravensthorpe in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

River Raids are only one part of the already massive Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, so it’s fully expected that players will want to get back to the main game at some point. Whether that means ravaging the English countryside, exploring Asgard in a drug-fueled dream, or hunting down mysteries, players will need to know how to leave the River Raids game mode.

The tweet doesn’t show the design of the shoes, nor does it offer information like pricing. However, it does tell consumers to “not miss the epic arrival” of the shoes. The tweet includes the hashtag #LikeAViking, which plays on the game’s Viking backdrop and Scandinavian setting. It also includes a clip showing the game’s logo and an aurora against a navy blue sky.

Interestingly enough, whereas Kassanda is considered the canonical character in Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla emphasizes both characters as canon. It’s uncertain what Ubisoft means yet, but that’ll likely become clear at launch. For now, fans get their first glimpse at female Eivor in trailers, new cover arts, and more, as opposed to leaked merch beforehand.

Catcher Jason Castro on Monday insisted that they’re not mad that Appel, the ‘Stros’ top draft pick last year, worked out at Minute Maid Park on Sunday morning before heading off to his Double-A club. That’s not how the Houston Chronicle’s Jose de Jesus Ortiz heard it. He reported Sunday that players (anonymously, of course) complained to him about Appel seemingly receiving special treatment, as well as about the Astros’ front office not being committed to winning now....

The Astros’ righty pitched a no-hitter on Sunday, in a 2-0 Houston victory over the Blue Jays in Toronto. Verlander allowed one walk on 120 pitches, with 14 strikeouts to go with the no-no. It’s Verlander’s 11th start with double-digit strikeouts on the season, one K shy of tying his season high. It wasn’t without late-game dramatics: the game was with two outs in the eighth inning, Abraham Toro mashed a two-run tater to right field, the contest’s first and only runs....

Luhnow and Hinch were given year-long bans by MLB while Houston were fined $5million and have been forced to forfeit their first and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts. In a statement, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said the Astros were warned about the league’s policies on sign stealing in September 2017 and “took no action” to comply with these during their run to a maiden World Series title later that season....

Several different employees — both former and current — from Ubisoft Quebec have come forward anonymously and explained the studio’s misconduct, citing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Creative Director Jonathan Dumont as the main source of toxicity within the studio.

Speaking to Gaming Bolt, Ismail revealed that Bayek is in fact part of an ancient line of warriors called the Magi, who were in essence the guardians of the people of Egypt. By protecting the people and deeply believing all the customs of his country within Assassin’s Creed Origins, Bayek is, in a sense, the physical embodiment of ancient Egypt and its values. As players progress through the game, Ismail says that Bayek will be forced to change as the ancient Egypt setting slowly gets moved aside for a new world, and it is this intertwined journey between protagonist and setting that ultimately leads to the birth of the Assassin Brotherhood....

Considering how massive Assassin’s Creed Origins is, a fairly substantial day one patch is also being readied alongside the game’s release. The patch, which ranges from 1.2GB to 1.4GB, includes a number of balance tweaks and improvements to the overall performance and stability. The controls for photo mode have also been reworked a bit allowing for greater player comfort. Players who purchased the digital edition will automatically download the day one update as well, while physical disc players will get prompted during the initial install....
