The gaming industry is sometimes one of turbulence, as many contracts end and developers shift around some of the biggest names out there. Of course, there are some who manage to stick with a company like Assassin’s Creed developer/publisher Ubisoft for so long that they become synonymous with a franchise. For example, when AC Valhalla narrative director Darby McDevitt announced his departure, it was quite the shock for many in the community....
During a recent earnings call, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot responded to a question about Assassin’s Creed Infinity, specifically its monetization methods. According to Guillemot, Assassin’s Creed Infinity isn’t a free-to-play game and will contain many of the narrative elements and mechanics that fans are familiar with. However, Guillemot also emphasized that the game is “huge,” and stated that Assassin’s Creed Infinity will be innovative.

Ubisoft has not revealed much about Assassin’s Creed: Codename Jade beyond a logo and the setting. The only other information Ubisoft has shared is that it will be the first time players can create their own assassin protagonist, and that concept has a lot of promise. Couple it with the Chinese setting and Jade has the potential to be a really cool entry for the series - except for the fact that it’s weighed down as a mobile game....
The Legacy of the First Blade – Episode 2: Shadow Heritage After the release of the first episode of the DLC last month, The Legacy of the First Blade continues with the release of the second episode. Titled Shadow Heritage, the story continues to follow Darius, the original wielder of the first Assassin’s blade. You are in the port city of Achaia, where you must rescue stranded citizens from a fierce Naval commander known as the Tempest....
RELATED: Assassin’s Creed: Explaining The Hidden Blade’s Sacrifice Looking at Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey’s open-world map, there’s a clear indication of how strong Alexios or Kassandra should be before they venture into newer and tougher regions. Leveling up to increase general stats is vital to progress further along in the story. However, with a deeper RPG system than its predecessors, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (including Assassin’s Creed Origins) have come with much more detailed skill trees, allowing players to tailor their gameplay strengths to their character....
RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: Reasons To Play As Alexios (& Reasons To Choose Kassandra) The game, which was the largest one to date in the franchise at its release, boasted all the popular locations in the Greek world. However, simply listing landmarks does not do the level design justice. Players have consistently preferred certain locations based on aesthetic quality and the diversity in the setting. Updated September 29, 2022, by Patrick Armstrong: The Assassin’s Creed series is a globetrotting one....
The Reuters/Ipsos poll and YouGov poll released Wednesday both showed Biden with a nine point lead over Trump nationally. Most recent polling has also suggested a win for the Democratic candidate. Fox News’ latest poll placed Biden five percentage points ahead of Trump and Monmouth showed the former vice president with a seven point lead. Prominent Republicans publicly expressed willingness this week to work on reaching deals with a potential Biden administration if he defeats their Republican leader and the GOP holds onto the Senate in November....
More than 180 people were arrested on Wednesday—the 23rd anniversary of the city’s handover from Britain to China—for marching against the law, which was adopted Tuesday and bans broadly-defined crimes of sedition, subversion, terrorism and foreign collusion. Those convicted of the most serious offenses in these categories can now be tried in Chinese courts and face life imprisonment. Less serious cases carry penalties of three to 10 years behind bars....
Far-right extremism is not new to any of America’s allies, and certainly not the European nations ravaged by German fascists and their allies in Second World War and subsequently periodic neo-Nazi and white supremacist revivals. But American partners abroad have been watching the rise of America’s modern extremist “alt-right” tide with concern, aware that the global reach of U.S. media and culture risks the export of a very American far-right extremism to their countries, infusing existing far-right groups with a new ideology honed by decades of neoliberal excess and political malaise....

What is yet to be seen is how his run at the first NL Triple Crown since 1937 turns out. The Cardinals’ first basemen leads the NL in batting average and RBIs and is second in home runs. His .328 average is just north of Freddie Freeman (.324) and Jeff McNeil (.320) and his RBI total is one ahead of Pete Alonso, with nobody else within shouting distance.

The guidelines are the first evidence-based recommendations for exercise and weight management during cancer treatments and suggest that physical activity may help with some of the side effects of treatment. “There are a lot of guidelines in terms of nutrition, exercise, and weight management in preventing cancer,” lead study author Jennifer Ligibel, MD, a medical oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, told Verywell. “But there’s growing evidence that making changes during treatment might have an effect on how people will do during therapy....
The defending champions are the official hosts, although the tournament is being held in UAE. The cracking contests will have a lot of star bowlers, sending the batsmen to the pavilion. Now, let’s have a look at three bowling pairs who possess the ability to trouble even the best batsmen, in the Asia Cup 2018. #4 Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi (Afganistan) Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi have been troubling the opposition batting unit, with their leg-spin and off-break as they have picked a total of 160 wickets, after the start of the year 2016, at a stunning average of just 17....
After being invited to bat first, Sri Lanka got off to a horror start, losing two wickets in the very first over to Fazalhaq Farooqi. The 21-year-old pacer then backed it up by bowling a maiden in his second over. Bhanuka Rajapaksa (38) and Danushka Gunathilaka (17) tried to rebuild the innings in the middle order after the top order collapsed meekly. However, it was a short-lived effort, as spinners Mujeeb Ur Rahman (2/24) and Mohammad Nabi (2/14) spun a web in the middle overs and successfully restricted the opposition’s batting line-up....
Tokyo is among Washington’s closest foreign allies and has been since the U.S. defeated Japan in World War II, later forging a security treaty that formed a cornerstone of deterrence against advances from the Soviet Union and China—two communist powers who ultimately broke with one another and became entangled in their own feud. Today, however, the dynamics of the old, largely Eurocentric Cold War have shifted toward Asia, along with the balance of global economic power....
The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) is lobbying for California’s secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Julie Su to be nominated as Biden’s Labor secretary. “We strongly support Julie Su for the position of Secretary of Labor and urge President-Elect Biden to nominate her to fill this critical vacancy in his administration,” the CAPAC said in a statement released Wednesday. “Not only would Julie bring greater diversity to the Cabinet, but she is also the most qualified person for the job....

The initial format was that of round-robin in the open and under-16 sections with players from Macau, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea and host federation Chinese Taipei. Soon requests for inviting players from around the world started pouring in as the chess tournament became quite a success. The organisers have now switched to the international Swiss System to allow greater number of entries. In keeping with its original Asian Dragons spirit, the organisers continue to invite players from Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Singapore and Korea, but at the same time now openly welcome players from all over the world....
