Xbox Series X News

Assassin's Creed has been one of my favourite franchises of all time, and the changes they have made in the last few entries are wonderful in almost every way. While there were a few things in Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Odyssey that I didn't enjoy, some of those issues have been rectified in what I like to call the "New Era" of Assassin's Creed titles. From start to finish, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a fantastic experience, punctuated by dozens of highs, and very few lows. Let's dive in!

I've been having discussions on Twitter with a bunch of folks around which next generation console feels more next generation, and from an outside perspective without having touched either yet (hopefully soon readers, hopefully soon! Many have been asking!), I've been fairly consistent in saying that PlayStation 5 feels much more next generation than Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. And that's not a knock on Xbox. In fact, when you dive deeper into my reasoning, it's ultimately the system we would recommend this holiday!

Today is yet another big day in a long history of big days for Ubisoft, a worldwide video game development company with multiple studios scattered around Canada. One of the largest - Ubisoft Toronto - was the team behind today's launch, Watch Dogs: Legion. Yesterday, Ubisoft Toronto hosted an industry event via YouTube, giving media and fans the opportunity to ask questions of the Toronto team, about how Watch Dogs: Legion was created. We asked a few of our own questions around the various studios working relationships, and got some fantastic responses!

I've been exploring the streets of London thanks to Ubisoft Canada, and while Kevin Austin has been focusing on our review of the title, I've been putting my energy into some supplementary articles. One of the biggest questions I had going into Watch Dogs: Legion, and one I think I've finally answered, is "does Watch Dogs: Legion miss having a singular protagonist?" Let's dive in.

As the world awaits the release of the PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S, SteelSeries is already getting ahead of the game with the release of the Arctis 7P & 7X headsets, designed to work seamlessly with the next-gen consoles. While the 7X is designed to work specifically with Xbox consoles and the 7P with PlayStation consoles, both are still compatible with PC, Android and the Nintendo Switch.

I’ve been watching a lot of Youtube Video Game Channels lately. I especially love hearing about retro video games, but even new stuff is cool too. So without further ado, here are my top 5 youtube video game channels! Oh and if you don’t want to read it, there’s a youtube video with me reading all this (though you’ll miss the youtube links if you don’t read too. heh). Just a note that everyone should include! This is my opinion…

Although Watch Dogs Legions is coming out at the end of October, it's close enough to the launch dates for Xbox Series X / Series S and PS5 to be considered a launch title - to be fair, it is a launch title officially, although not a 'new' launch title. Ubisoft loves to deliver great content for fans, but it's not often we get two mega titles so closely to each other. With Watch Dogs launching on October 29th, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla launching on November 10th, next generation launch week has Ubisoft written all over it.

The team behind The Medium are teasing that a mystery related to the game will be revealed tomorrow. The announcement will be made at 6am PDT/1pm UTC/3pm CET, and those interested in the dual reality game are speculating that it may have to do with the game’s release date. There isn’t currently a firm release for the psychological horror game, which is being made by Bloober Team for Xbox Series consoles and PC. Developers announced a vague “Holiday 2020” date…

Wolfenstein, Dishonored and Prey will be getting re-released collections for Xbox Series X and S according to new ratings by the ESRB. Wolfenstein Alt History Collection and Dishonored & Prey: The Arkane Collection have both been rated M for mature by the ratings body. The Wolfenstein set contains four games, although it isn’t specific as to which will be included. It’s most likely we’ll get The New Order, Old Blood, Wolfenstein II and Youngblood, all improved for the next-gen systems.…

Supposedly leaked art for a canceled Superman game has revealed its villain could have been Bizarro. Rocksteady were working on a Superman game after finishing Arkham Knight, but it got canned by Warner Brothers. The studio, which has worked almost exclusively on Batman games since before 2009, is now developing a Suicide Squad game. Now concept artist Jerad Marantz has revealed concept art for Bizarro, which he says was designed for a cancelled game. Posted to ArtStation, he said: “One…
