As many insiders have pointed out, the reveals are likely to be more widespread now. Some will come later, some will come sooner, and some will still take place during “E3 week.” At least one title that is going to be revealed soon is Assassin’s Creed, and a reputable industry insider hints that this is set. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok Could Have a Huge Follow-Up on AC: Revelations On Twitter, Shinobi602 was asked if he knew when the reveal was coming, to which he answered “yes....

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U8TPIsp4p8 In the trailer shown above, Ubisoft attempts to show us some of the “new” features that will be in Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, but really it just seems like they are adding minor details and claiming it is going to change the dull and repetitive gameplay that we have experienced in AC 1 and 2. The aesthetics of the game look exactly like Assassin’s Creed 2, granted it is a sequel with the same main character, but for another $60 dollars I want something to look different....

One of the main points of consensus surrounding Assassin’s Creed Hexe is that it will likely possess an uncharacteristically dark setting when compared to most other installments to the longstanding AC franchise. This will of course be a very interesting core motif for the title if this dark setting does in fact exist, and would be fantastic in helping the game stand out among the slew of new and exciting projects that the IP has recently announced....

The developers say that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has a strong campaign story that will include some choices for the player to make, but there will also be smaller side quests and stories that players will have control over via dialogue choices. Some of those choices can even lead to romance options, as it looks as though Ubisoft is taking a page out of BioWare’s book. According to developers, even the choices made in the side quests will have an impact on the overall game experience....

Trump taking down the fabled “blue wall” of Rust Belt states—Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan—was the most shocking component of his historic upset in 2016. Just as unexpected, to Democrats, pollsters and political pundits, was this: he nearly won Minnesota, falling just 1.5 points behind Hillary Clinton in what was supposed to be the bluest of blue states. Democrats have won in Minnesota every presidential cycle since 1976, the longest streak in the nation....

While the nightly clashes between federal law enforcement and protesters that have dominated national headlines for weeks appear to have come to an end, lawsuits launched against the government over officers’ actions during the deployment continue to follow the Trump administration. Speaking with Newsweek on Thursday, Sarah Adams-Schoen, an assistant professor of law at the University of Oregon, said a series of lawsuits launched against the federal government over the controversial intervention, which began over the July 4th weekend, could be useful in the future not only in Portland, but also to other cities in the event of future deployments....

“Lapping it” might be putting it mildly. Right now, on the day before free agency officially begins, the Giants seem as if they’re running one way on the track, and Washington the other way. That’s if you boil it down to nothing more than where they are at one offensive position. No, not that one; that discussion comes a little later. On Wednesday, the Giants added Brandon Marshall to the wide receiver group that already has Odell Beckham Jr....

Yes, Richards did lower his head to the point of what could be considered dangerous posture. The helmet may or may not have made contact with the ball-carrier before the shoulder, which therefore could be defined as “initiating contact” after lowering the head. But compared to other violations of the new rule seen this preseason, Richards’ hit was benign. This is where the NFL needs more transparency. DeCOURCY: Why we should stop complaining about NFL helmet rule...

The treaty was designed to prevent nuclear proliferation, promote disarmament and encourage the peaceful use of nuclear energy for all nations. Since it became active, four new nations have developed nuclear weapons, though global atomic stockpiles have decreased significantly. There are around 14,000 nuclear warheads worldwide, 90 percent of which belong to the U.S. (6,185) and Russia (6,500). Around 3,750 are deployed with operational forces, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute....

The amount of cash on hand for major banks like J.P. Morgan & Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs is on the rise, according to data from the first quarter of 2022. At the same time, personal savings rates have hit their lowest in nearly 14 years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. These trends are occurring as global economic conditions become increasingly volatile due to a variety of factors, including rising inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, rising interest rates, the lingering effects of the pandemic, and the ongoing war in Ukraine....

Roma signed the Italy international on loan in January for a fee of 1.4 million euros ($1.58 million) with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season for 13 million euros ($14.63 million). They have now exercised that option, handing the 23-year-old a four-year deal. El-Shaarawy turned his career around at Roma after failing to score in 15 Ligue 1 games on loan at AS Monaco during the first half of the season....

Inspired by the 2004 movie Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, the Ocho began in 2017 as a way to change up the summer’s programming list. Now with no professional sports to watch in the foreseeable future, ESPN decided to bring the channel back. This Sunday, the Ocho will replace the regular programming on ESPN2 and show 24 hours straight of some of the wildest sports imaginable. Newsweek has compiled a list of the most interesting sports that will be shown on the Ocho....

Back when Jose Mourinho was coach at Real, the Portuguese’s plan to stop Barca’s brilliant midfield was often quite primitive and sometimes cynical. Up against Xavi, Andres iniesta and Sergio Busquets, Los Blancos kicked off the 2011 Copa del Rey final with a midfield trio of Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira and Pepe. Madrid 2/1 to beat Barcelona It was, essentially, a treble pivot and it coined a new name: trivote....

Stokes made a magnificent 135 not out as England triumphed by one wicket at Headingley on Sunday, leveling the series despite making just 67 in their first innings. Leach played a vital supporting role despite making a single run as part of the 76 partnership that saw England home in front of a raucous Leeds crowd. While Stokes thrashed Australia’s bowlers around the park to rapidly reduce the runs needed, Leach was able to survive — despite his nervous partner being unable to watch....

Zaltzman’s words perfectly captured the sentiments of cricket fans all over the world. Millions had felt the pain of the crest-fallen New Zealand players who saw the 2019 ODI World Cup slipping out of their grasp. This was despite the fact that they had actually tied the final, and in fact would have won the match if the umpires had not made a grave error of judgment (albeit without malice) while awarding five runs off that Martin Guptill throw ricocheting off Ben Stokes’ bat....

I first visited Ashland back in the late 1990s as an inexpensive road trip for myself and a few other college-student friends during spring break. I did not expect to be drawn to this little town again and again over the next twenty years and counting. My first impression of Ashland was that it was low key, very green, quiet, and a great place for a mind-clearing reconnection to nature....

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be without captain Virat Kohli for at least the initial phase of the Twenty20 tournament as the India skipper recovers from a shoulder injury that forced him to miss the series-sealing final test win over Australia in Dharamsala. “His recovery will be assessed in the second week of April to determine an exact return to play date for IPL 2017,” the Indian cricket board (BCCI) said in a statement....

With the bilateral ties frozen between both teams, the multi-nation tournaments are the only way that the teams can face each other. The India-Pakistan rivalry is even more significant than the traditional ‘Ashes’ series between England and Australia. In their last encounter, Pakistan blew away the men in blue comfortably to clinch the 2017 ICC Champions trophy. Now, after a year, both teams will face-off each other in the Asia Cup....
