Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Assassin's Creed Shadows will be updated post-launch with a cooperative multiplayer mode. The rumor comes from Tom Henderson, who has proven to be very reliable regarding Ubisoft games. According to Henderson, the mode is currently codenamed LEAGUE and was in development even before the recent delay. The insider did not provide any further details on the mode, although he underlined that this won't be the online cooperative multiplayer experience coming to the franchise. Assassin's Creed Invictus, which is supposed to be a dedicated multiplayer game, is due to launch next year as well. However, early leaks point to Invictus being […]
To many, it comes as no surprise that Star Wars Outlaws has only sold 1 million copies since it launched. This game was set to be Ubisoft's biggest game, as this is the game that they funneled the most time and money into, but it has been a huge detriment to Ubisoft and has led to Ubisoft's share prices dropping to a stark low. While some gamers have enjoyed this game, it has received a bunch of low scores and, as a result, has only sold a million in the month of its release. As a result of the failure […]
Having been delayed to early 2025, Assassin's Creed Shadows is now in direct competition with Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei, but this won't be a problem for the new entry in the long-running open-world series, according to Ubisoft's CEO. As reported by IGN, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot commented on the two games launching in the same year, saying that there's a lot of space for very high-quality games and that the two games can both sell well. Assassin's Creed Shadows, in particular, will set itself apart from the competing game with its dual protagonists and the two different complementary gameplay […]
The rumors were true: Ubisoft has just delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows to February 14, 2025. The reason to do so was the softer-than-expected performance of Star Wars Outlaws, which contributed to a disappointing financial result in Ubisoft's second quarter (following the stock price crash from a couple of weeks ago). Ubisoft aims to polish the game even further to avoid a similar issue, hence the delay. Furthermore, Assassin's Creed Shadows is abandoning the Season Pass model; the game will launch for everyone on the same day (instead of the early access launch of the more expensive editions), and pre-orders will […]
Yesterday, a dev diary showcasing Assassin's Creed Shadows went live on the IGN China website. Since then, Ubisoft has announced that they are canceling their appearance at the Tokyo Game Show, which was due to take place from September 26 to September 29. In addition, Ubisoft has also canceled press previews of Assassin's Creed Shadows. The Assassin's Creed Shadows press previews were reportedly due to take place next week, with the embargo date being released during that time. However, they have since been canceled. It's not been confirmed as to why the press previews have been canceled, but it's a […]
In some way, Assassin's Creed Shadows marks the end of an era for the Ubisoft series, being the last entry in the franchise to feature the role-playing game mechanics originally introduced in Assassin's Creed Origins. In other ways, however, the upcoming next entry in the series will mark the beginning of a new era for the franchise, sporting some technological advancements that will not only make it the most immersive and visually advanced Assassin's Creed game to date but that will also benefit future games. During last month's Gamescom, I attended a preview session focused on the game where Art […]

Assassin's Creed Shadows is supposedly coming to Nintendo Switch 2 alongside ports of previous entries in the series, like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Assassin's Creed Odyssey. According to a new rumor from Nash Weedle, all the most recent main entries in the series, as well as last year's Assassin's Creed Mirage, are going to get ported to Nintendo Switch 2. The latest entry in the series will supposedly be ready for the console's launch window of around six months or so, while the others will be released progressively over time. The Odyssey and Origins ports will be bundled together, which […]
Ubisoft allowed lead developer Ubisoft Quebec four years to make Assassin's Creed Shadows, a one-year increase over previous franchise installments like Valhalla. Speaking to GamesIndustry, Lead Producer Karl Onnée said this is just the right amount of time. It's great to work on a game that comes after something with the pedigree of Valhalla. But obviously, there are great expectations. We always want to go better, which is what we're trying to do with Shadows. We are pushing the limits of what we can do. It's always a balance between time and costs, but the more time you have, the […]

Ubisoft has put significant effort into ensuring Assassin's Creed Shadows is an immersive and respectful representation of Feudal Japan, but the game was never meant to be a factual representation of history or historical characters. Earlier today, Ubisoft shared a new message on X/Twitter addressed to the Japanese community, which doesn't seem to be taking some of the developer's decisions too well, going over some of the controversies surrounding the next entry in the series set in Feudal Japan. As mentioned above, Ubisoft said that the entirety of the series isn't meant to be a factual representation of history, but […]
