In the vast majority of Assassin’s Creed games, players start the game off by either already being a part of the Assassins or joining them at some point in the early missions. However, Bruun’s comments made it sound like that could be different in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Speaking to the talk show host, Bruun said, “[…] and behind that there is this fictional story that you as a player lives in, where there are two secret creeds, secret societies, which are the Knights Templars and the Assassins....

According to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) the asteroid 2021 NY1, which could be as wide as 984 feet, will pass our planet within a distance of 93,000 miles. The asteroid, up to three times the size of Lady Liberty, will be traveling at a speed of around six miles per second as it passes our planet. That is around 21,000 miles per hour or about 27 times the speed of sound....

Manager A.J. Hinch told reporters on Saturday that Altuve will go on the injured list after sustaining a hamstring injury in Friday’s game against the Texas Rangers. The Astros called up top prospect Corbin Martin in a corresponding move. “I think we are all trying to be careful for this,” Altuve said, via the Houston Chronicle. “It can take one day or 10 days, we don’t know, so I guess we [made] the right decision....

Acer showed off a laptop with a glasses-free 3D display back in 2021, and now Asus has jumped on the bandwagon too, and decided to take things a step further. At CES, the company has revealed the first ever 3D laptops with OLED displays (Acer opted for LCD instead): the ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED and Vivobook Pro 16X 3D OLED. The 16in, 3200×2000 panels on both also feature 120Hz refresh rates and 550 nits of max brightness, making them among the highest-quality screens out there....

RELATED: The 10 Best Ubisoft Video Games Ever Made (According To Metacritic) With a new entry - Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla - on the horizon, that already has people speculating about who is going to show up. So while waiting for Assassin’s Creed upcoming Norse chapter, it’s a good time to revisit the franchise and see which games are historically accurate and not. Without further delay, here are the main Assassin’s Creed games, ranked by how historically accurate they are....

Not that that will stop fans enjoying an assassin’s life on the high seas. The chance to explore the pirate-ridden Caribbean and marry it together with the often compelling Assassin’s Creed gameplay could be a winner after the last game in the series failed to live up to some fan’s and critic’s expectations. Emphasizing the Assassin’s Creed gameplay that fans enjoy, Ubiblog has released a series of ‘infographics’ that show off the weapons and techniques to remain stealthy in the game....

Last year, several Assassin’s Creed players, communities, and associated companies came together to raise funds for mental health awareness, dubbed the Assassins in Need fundraiser. Organized by the Assassin’s Creed community page The Ones Who Came Before, proceeds were directed to the World Federation for Mental Health, and now yet another Assassins in Need fundraiser has been organized.

Headlining Steam’s sale is Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which is the latest installment in the series. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is available on Steam right now for $19.79, which is a whopping 67% off from its original price of $59.99. To the uninitiated, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was initially released back in October of 2018, serving as the eleventh major installment in the franchise. The game revolves around a fictional history that took place during the Peloponnesian War, which is set in 431 BC....

As it turns out, they were right. Ubisoft confirmed, today, that the 60 FPS patch for both PS5 and Xbox Series X would be available on June 2—the same date that Assassin’s Creed Origins hits Game Pass. Nothing of the patch has been shown, but fans can expect the gameplay to be much smoother.

The standard for Assassin’s Creed games is generally one Piece of Eden and the Assassins’ focus on locating it or using it somehow. However, given everything currently happening in the franchise universe, Ragnarok could very easily include up to three different Pieces of Eden considering its very name suggests an adventure of apocalyptic proportions, depending on how the game’s story develops.

However, that doesn’t mean more modern instances will never appear. Recent installments like Odyssey have turned to the more distant past as part of this philosophy, yet Assassin’s Creed Syndicate may help answer the question of how the Assassin’s Creed franchise could take players to more recent events in history.

Mysteries in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla aren’t usually as straightforward as quests. While completing them, players won’t get quest markers telling them where to go every step of the way and instead must solve each mystery by paying close attention to the dialogue or other hints. The King of the Hill mystery is challenging in a different way however. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Exploration Can Have an Ironic Problem It won’t take long for most fans to walk into this false king’s “castle” and knock him down, but after doing so the mystery doesn’t complete....

In fact, the option to choose certain outcomes is one of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s most interesting mechanics, with certain decisions affecting future storylines or gameplay options. One example of a quest with a fairly dubious choice at the end is “The Gutted Lamb,” which requires a player to decide a character’s fate.

The ancient Norse answer to the ongoing time-hopping narrative featured plenty of mythological elements, and the upcoming expansion seeks to double down on that concept with more God of War-style action and classic legendary characters. With new gameplay and story details, fans are excited for this new chapter in the Assassin’s Creed universe. What should fans expect from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: The Forgotten Saga? The franchise’s official 15th anniversary comes this November, but Ubisoft decided to get the party started five months early....

One of the new armor sets in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, titled the Druidic Armor, is great for players who prefer to take out their enemies quickly and heal in tough situations. The armor set has an ability that heals the player every three hits on the same enemies. And when paired with certain items, this armor set becomes virtually unstoppable.

With Assassin’s Creed Valhalla now in the books, there’s a very clear setting for a side entry, and one that would fit well in line with what Ubisoft has done with its games before. And while reusing maps typically gets a lukewarm-at-best reception from gamers, it would be wonderful to see the fall of Rome in Britain from the eyes of a Hidden One.

Arsenal: Full-back troubles and burn-out When Johan Djourou pulled up with a groin injury at Eastlands on Sunday, it was Arsenal’s fifth injury in the full-back position this season. Carl Jenkinson is nursing a stress fracture in his back, Bacary Sagna has been out since October with medial ligament damage, Kieran Gibbs has an uncooperative hernia and Andre Santos got some Greek rage handed to his ankle at Olympiakos. This means that Arsenal will most likely travel to Villa with Thomas Vermaelen, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Ignasi Miquel and Sebastian Squillaci as their only recognised defenders, all of them centre-backs....

Cody Bellinger. Mike Fiers. The Yankees. The Nationals. Anyone else who believes the Astros kept cheating after 2017. The Houston shortstop had something for all of them. Will his rebuttal help to lower the fire that’s engulfing the sport early in spring training? No, not when Correa came in hot himself.

Correa grounded to third for the second out of the fifth but hit the bag awkwardly and fell to the ground. He eventually got up and walked gingerly to the dugout with an Astros trainer and manager A.J. Hinch by his side. The team said after the game that X-rays were negative and Correa is day to day with a sprained ankle. MORE: Best active MLB players by age...

Doug Fister has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Houston, the team announced Thursday. The towering right-hander, who turns 32 next week, will slot in behind Dallas Keuchel, Collin McHugh, Lance McCullers and Mike Fiers. Fister is a candidate for a bounceback season after posting a career-worst 4.19 ERA for the Nationals in 2015. That came on the heels of a 2014 season that saw the former Mariner and Tiger go 16-6 with a 2....
