Assassin’s Creed Origins team confirms New Game+ is coming at some point

‘More information to share soon’ Ubisoft games, for better or worse (in the case of Assassin’s Creed Origins’ engaging world, better), are packed with open world content. Sometimes it’s pin on the map busywork sometimes there’s a concerted amount of effort put into it, but I’ve generally been enjoying most of the thingsOriginsthrows at me. That’s why I’m not super hard-pressed for a New Game+ mode at the moment, but according to community manager Dominik Voigt, it is coming....

Batman: Arkham City ships 4.6 million in first week

Warner Brothers has declaredBatman: Arkham Cityto be a triumph at stores, stating that 4.6 million copies of the game were shipped worldwide last week. This is, of course, a bit of subtle trickery on the PR wordsmiths over there, as this number is indicative only of how many copies are available for purchase, not how many have actually been sold. I don’t think they’re putting the cart before the horse here....

Bungie’s recent Destiny 2 state of the game is one of its most disastrous

I’ve been around the block with Bungie, having playedDestinysince the originalDestiny 1alpha. And let me tell you: it can be rough! Bungie is a fascinating case study, as they’ve managed to create one of the best-feeling shooters ever made, but haven’t been able to figure out how to run a live service game for nearlynine years.Their recent “State of the Game” blogtests that theory once again. In the aforementioned blog, Bungie essentially delivers their “we’re listening, but not doing much about it....

But in a hands-on withDying Light 2, we got to see the City for all it entails: a struggle not just for survival, but also to decide who gets to build over the rubble....

E For All: The booth babes

Well this was a pleasant great surprise: whereas E3 strictly prohibited hot scantly clad women in its new tight-lipped format, E For All proudly embraced the old tradition of hiring models to add a little eye candy to their booth. We had the opportunity to speak to some of these ladies and, for the most part, they had little idea what aMariois. Most are hired models from local agencies here in LA, don’t game, and kick puppies when nobody is watching....

But now Electronic Arts has thrown its hat into the ring, setting the new standard for original game names with…Create.
