W dzisiejszym odcinku głównym tematem jest Lego Batman: Dziedzictwo mrocznego rycerza – najnowsza produkcja studia TT Games, która wywraca do góry nogami dotychczasową formułę klockowych gier. Analizujemy, jak twórcom udało się przenieść mroczny i deszczowy klimat prosto z serii Batman: Arkham od Rocksteady do świata LEGO oraz czy kompaktowe, otwarte Gotham z batmobilem, motocyklami i środowiskowymi zagadkami Człowieka Zagadki to najlepsza adaptacja przygód Gacka ostatnich lat. Rozmawiamy o świetnym polskim dubbingu, wyważonym humorze przypominającym kultowego Shreka oraz o tym, dlaczego ta odsłona zachwyci nawet tych, którzy dotychczas odbijali się od gier z logiem LEGO.W programie dzielimy się również pierwszymi wrażeniami z Yoshi and the Mysterious Book na „Switcha 2”, sprawdzając, jak Nintendo po raz kolejny rewolucjonizuje gatunek platformówek za pomocą interaktywnej, logicznej książki.

Deze aflevering van Einde van de Week Live is ook te bekijken op https://youtube.com/live/fLSU9Jvm3rg Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door MSI. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen. MSI heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site. Klaar om het weekend te betreden? Wij wel. Ook al gaat dit Hemelvaartweekend nat worden. We gaan ervoor. En dat laten we je ook weten in een nieuwe editie van Einde van de Week Live. Huey, JJ en Koos zitten klaar om bij te praten over alles wat er de afgelopen week toe deed. Een onderwerp dat aan bod komt, is bijvoorbeeld het lek bij Ubisoft waarin veel nieuwe details stonden over Assassin’s Creed Hexe. Wat zijn we allemaal te weten gekomen over dit nieuwe spel? De drie bespreken ook het immense succes van Capcom, de kans op een nieuwe Dead Space en de ballen die Rockstar keer op keer toont. Dit alles en meer zie en hoor je voorbijkomen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 15 mei 2026. Een nieuwe Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry en Ghost Recon voor eind 2029 Andere onderwerpen die in deze video voorbijkomen, zijn het enorme succes van Subnautica 2, de nieuwe Tomb Raider die nog steeds voor dit jaar op de releaselijst staat en CD Projekt Red, dat zegt geleerd te hebben van de fouten die zij maakten rond hun game Cyberpunk 2077. Ze hebben nu maatregelen getroffen die ervoor moeten zorgen dat er bij The Witcher 4 en de opvolger van hun cybergame niet dezelfde issues voor gaan komen. Koop nu de Cyborg 15 gaming laptop, met een 5070 RTX videokaart erin, voor een zeer scherpe prijs MSI zet ook deze week de Cyborg 15 in de spotlights. Het is namelijk nogal een aanbieding. Deze gaming laptop bezit een 13e generatie Intel Core i7 processor, een NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, 16GB RAM intern geheugen, een 1TB SSD, een 4-zone RGB toetsenbord en een 15.6” full HD 144Hz display. Deze laptop met dus een RTX 5070 aan boord is hier tegen een scherpe prijs bij Azerty verkrijgbaar. En dat zal in de nabije toekomst niet vaak meer voorkomen.

Its time to start your engines, because a new Forza Horizon is out and ready to be driven, and all in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. Plus XBOX may have to go back to exclusives, while PlayStation is ditching PC. HBO gave us our first real look at Lanterns ahead of its August release, and PlayStation is also hoping on the price increase train, as PS+ gets a hike.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we start a new series on 2005's Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. We set it in its time, talk about the Clancy of it all, and then get into the play and presentation. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: The first level or two Issues covered: missing a week, games from 2005 and UbiSoft, stealth games and how we feel about them, what it borrows from its forebears, Tim's history and love of military themes, grounding the series in real places, hard milspec, the spectrum of more or less video-gamey, Brett's history with Clancy, offputting tone and writing, the weird nationalistic lens, the military melodrama, when you can mess up the formula, black and white and the icks, systems thinking in the game vs not the narrative, finding ways to maintain the black and white, the tutorial videos, seeing the mechanics against the real missions, controlling Sam's movement speed, other interface choices, alt-fire modes, shooting everyone in the head, having multiple kill moves, having mission objectives that get canceled, whether there's an alternate version, a number associated with your performance, the weirdness of speaking to your handler directly behind a target, your advisors, informing the choice of loadout, how different games reinforce the loadout, a review, Tim's Twitch drop.

Трое друзей уже десять лет рассказывают про технологии, игры, медиа, кино, ИИ, автомобили, фотоаппараты, вкусную еду и многое другое. В этот раз Дима, Тимур и Максим обсуждают слухи о будущих Far Cry 7, Assassin's Creed Hexe, новом Ghost Recon 2027, что покажут в iOS27, когда ждать новый Ape Escape, почему они не ждут “Одиссею” Нолана, классная ли Forza Horizon 6 и свои первые впечатления от Steam Controller.

In today's Daily Fix:Warhorse Studios, the developers behind the popular sim-heavy RPG series, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, have announced a Lord of the Rings open-world game. Details are practially nonexistent, but it's Lord of the Rings and it's an open-world game, so fans should be excited. In other news, Ubisoft has braced shareholders to expect some lean financial quarters coming up, despite the launch of the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced. Ubisoft also teased new AC games, along with new entries in Ghost Recon and Far Cry in the coming years. And finally, Sony has announced a State of Play for June 2nd starting at 2pm PT. Headlining the showcase is Marvel's Wolverine.And if you're thinking about joining us in Los Angeles for IGN Live 2026, we're giving you the chance to win a free ticket by using promo code IGN30PROMO, as part of IGN's 30th anniversary celebrations.

Deze aflevering van Gamekings Daily is ook te bekijken op https://youtu.be/NXkBe3GuJSE PlayStation heeft bekendgemaakt dat hun singleplayer blockbusters niet langer naar de PC komen. Dit bericht kwam na de opnames van deze vodcast en kon dus niet meegenomen worden. Welkom bij Gamekings Daily, een gaming vodcast waarin twee presentatoren van Gamekings discussiëren over de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld der videogames. Vandaag heeft Skate plaatsgenomen achter de desk en bespreekt hij een aantal game gerelateerde nieuwtjes. Bijvoorbeeld de proef van PlayStation om op je desktop te laten zien hoeveel mensen een bepaalde game op de PlayStation consoles spelen. De proef toonde nu al cijfers waar veel hardcore gamers niet blij van zullen worden. Het geeft ook direct de verklaring waarom Jim Ryan zo graag een aantal eigen live service hits wilde laten maken. JJ en Skate bespreken verder het gerucht dat er gewerkt wordt aan een spirituele opvolger van Titanfall. Wie doet dat en zouden we willen dat dit gerucht waarheid werd? Plus, gelooft Skate in de release van twee games van From Software in één jaar? Deze onderwerpen en meer zijn te zien en te horen in de Gamekings Daily van dinsdag 19 mei 2026. Gaat From Software dit jaar naast The Dusbloods nog een game uitbrengen? De twee bekijken de stilte rondom de game The Duskbloods van From Software. De Japanners hebben opnieuw beloofd dat het spel nog dit jaar uitkomt, maar marketing of nieuwe beelden zijn ver te zoeken. En wat denkt Skate van het verhaal van de nieuwe 'piratengame' die From Software volgens een aantal leakers nog deze zomer wil gaan uitbrengen? Twee games in één jaar? En is dit thema uniek en iets waar je hem midden in de nacht voor wakker mag maken? Werkt Ubisoft aan een realistische Ghost Recon-editie? In ander nieuws praten de twee over de aanpak van de nieuwe Ghost Recon. Die zou je volgens de geruchten kunnen vergelijken met de game Ready or Not. Deze titel is een ultrarealistische en tactische first-person shooter waarin spelers de leiding nemen over een SWAT-politie-eenheid. Zien de beide heren een dergelijke aanpak zitten of hebben ze liever de meer open wereld georiënteerde aanpak van Wildlands? Ze vertellen het je in deze video.Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Gamekings óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

Welkom bij een nieuwe editie van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee hosts van Gamekings over het laatste nieuws uit de wereld der videogames. Vandaag zit Shelly bij JJ in de studio. Samen met hem neemt ze het belangrijkste nieuws van het afgelopen weekend door. Zo waren er wat geruchten rondom Ubisoft. Ghost Recon zou na Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced de volgende grote game voor de Franse uitgever worden. Far Cry 7 bevindt zich daarentegen in de zogenaamde development hell. Wat denken de twee over deze verhalen en hebben zij zin in een nieuwe Ghost Recon of hadden ze gehoopt op een deel uit een andere franchise? Je krijgt het antwoord in de Gamekings Daily van maandag 20 april 2026.Ubisoft komt snel met een nieuwe Ghost ReconEen ander onderwerp behelst het nieuwe Mafia-deel, dat volgens de verhalen een sequel van The Old Country wordt. Weet Shelly daar als oud-medewerker van Take Two iets van, of was dat na haar tijd? Of mag ze er misschien niks over zeggen? Dat kan ze natuurlijk wel over de ‘Grand Slam' die Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 het afgelopen weekend binnenhaalde. Het Franse spel won de award voor beste game bij achtereenvolgens de Golden Joystick Awards, The Game Awards, DICE Awards, de Game Developers Choice Awards en de BAFTA. Is dat terecht? De twee praten erover in deze video.‘De vader van de echte Mario heet Luigi'Shelly en JJ spreken ook over het even bizarre als leuke verhaal dat de vader van de man waar Nintendo Mario naar heeft vernoemd, Luigi heet. Hoeveel toeval kan je krijgen? En is de man waarop Mario gebaseerd is een beetje blij met zijn digitale evenbeeld? Je ziet en hoort het in deze video.

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠Dive into the ongoing turbulence in the video game industry with this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, where Analytic Dreamz examines the wave of layoffs sweeping through major studios in March 2026.As of mid-March 2026, the industry has seen approximately 1,700–2,000+ job losses year-to-date, following over 9,000 in 2025—lower than peak years but still deeply impactful. GDC 2026's State of the Industry report reveals 28% of global developers laid off in the past two years (33% in the U.S.), with half reporting recent cuts at their companies.Key March 2026 developments include:Ubisoft's Red Storm Entertainment (March 19): ~105 layoffs, ending game development at the 30-year-old studio known for Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and Splinter Cell. It shifts to global IT services and Snowdrop engine support amid Ubisoft's cost-reduction restructuring.Crystal Dynamics (March 19): 20 layoffs across development and operations, part of repeated cycles (prior rounds in 2025 totaled ~67). Major projects like the next Tomb Raider remain unaffected, reflecting ongoing "optimization" under Embracer/Saber.Warner Bros. Games Montréal (March 13–16): Undisclosed layoffs impacting narrative, level design, production, and more—linked to corporate instability from the Paramount–Skydance acquisition and post-acquisition efficiency reviews (following 99 cuts in 2024).Electronic Arts' Battlefield studios (early March): Significant but undisclosed layoffs across DICE (Sweden), Criterion (UK), Ripple Effect (California), and Motive (Canada). This follows Battlefield 6's record-breaking 2025 success as best-seller with millions sold quickly—highlighting that commercial wins do not guarantee job security, driven instead by realignment for live-service sustainability. Broader drivers include post-pandemic over-expansion corrections, soaring AAA costs, investor profitability demands, live-service shifts, and rising AI adoption (36% reported). Patterns show success-independent cuts, studio pivots from full development to support roles, micro-layoff cycles, M&A instability, and growing unionization pushes.Analytic Dreamz unpacks how these layoffs signal structural realignment—lean operations, centralized tech, and live-service focus—rather than a temporary downturn. Even blockbuster franchises fail to shield teams, underscoring workforce volatility and calls for stronger protections in a contracting landscape.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welkom bij Gamekings Daily, een gaming vodcast waarin twee presentatoren van Gamekings aanschuiven om de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld der videogames door te nemen. Hoewel ze nog moeten bijkomen van het feest van afgelopen weekend, zitten Skate en JJ klaar met het laatste nieuws. Het is een Gamekings Daily met een tintje Peepshow: heftige ontwikkelingen bij nieuwe games en het sluiten van een befaamde studio. Plus natuurlijk Crimson Desert, dat de gemoederen flink bezighoudt. Zo is er online veel onenigheid over de kwaliteit van het spel. Dit weekend verschenen er vanuit de studio anonieme signalen dat de ontwikkeling niet van een leien dakje ging. Voor iedereen die zat te hopen op een nieuwe Tom Clancy game in de stijl van de oude Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell of Ghost Recon games... die droom wordt (in ieder geval bij Red Storm Entertainment) voorlopig geen werkelijkheid. Ubisoft heeft de studio gesloten.Was Crimson Desert wel klaar voor een officiële release?Met meer dan 2 miljoen verkochte exemplaren is het releaseweekend van Crimson Desert een succes. Dat wil niet zeggen dat er veel om het spel te doen is. De reviews zijn ook erg gemengd qua mening en cijfer. Te midden van al die chaos komen nu enkele developers anoniem naar buiten om te verhalen over de problemen achter de schermen. Wat blijkt? De verhaallijn is gerushed om de release te halen, leidinggevenden stapten op en mensen durfden intern geen kritiek te geven. Dit heeft volgens hen zijn weerslag gekregen in het eindresultaat.  Wat is er precies aan de hand? En hoe heftig is het?Red Storm Entertainment, de maker van vele Tom Clancy games, door Ubisoft geslotenRed Storm Entertainment, dat heeft gewerkt aan het gros van de Tom Clancy games, is niet meer. De rigoureuze herorganisatie bij Ubisoft zorgt voor het ontslag van al het personeel en dus het opheffen van de studio. Hoe kijken de twee tegen de sluiting van een ooit zo legendarische studio aan?

In this episode of The Sesh, we're posted up with Sour OG, and we go full rabbit hole, in the best way.We start with Castlevania, metroidvania obsession, Switch OLED upgrades, and why older games still hit harder than half the “new” stuff coming out. Then it turns into a real talk about why people feel more isolated than ever, why connecting feels harder than it should, and why getting comfortable being uncomfortable is basically a cheat code for life.We also get into Days Gone, Zelda, Ghost Recon no-HUD chaos, Ready or Not, British shows, revenge movies that actually slap, and why laughter might be the most underrated mental reset we have.Question for the comments, what's your favorite random non-US movie or TV show?Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.Find everything in one place here:

We continue the Tom Clancy tributes by chronicling our favorite moments from his movies, novels, TV shows and videogames. You've heard us review his adaptations in the past but it was way more fulfilling to dig into why so many of his properties and estate wanted to get his name on so many compelling titles.   TALKING POINTS: *We mention more of the book and movie differences as well as how there's so many STAR WARS actors in each of these entries *Why didn't they have AIR FORCE ONE be part of Harrison Ford's Jack Ryan movie's timeline? *Is Alec Baldwin's character in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE actually his version of Jack Ryan? *And we gets to highlight our favorite videogames by Clancy's estate (The Division, Ghost Recon, etc)!     AUDIO CLIPS: Patriot Games and Jack Ryan: Season 4   MUSIC CLIPS: "Georgia Stress" by Michael Richad Plowman & "Village- Discovered!" by Lalo Schifrin.  

We're back and have so much to catch up on!

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz breaks down Ubisoft's 2026 major reset—a sweeping organizational, operational, and portfolio overhaul announced to reclaim creative leadership and restore sustainable growth under CEO Yves Guillemot.Ubisoft has restructured into five decentralized Creative Houses, each with full ownership over specific genres and brands: Vantage Studios (CH1) scales AAA franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six; CH2 focuses on competitive/co-op shooters including The Division, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell; CH3 handles live-service titles such as For Honor, The Crew, Riders Republic, Brawlhalla, and Skull & Bones; CH4 drives immersive fantasy and narrative games with Anno, Might & Magic, Rayman, Prince of Persia, and Beyond Good & Evil; CH5 targets casual/family-friendly experiences like Just Dance, mobile hits, and licensed titles.This shift addresses escalating AAA costs, market competition, and trends toward mobile and Games-as-a-Service, prioritizing open-world adventures and GaaS-native experiences while investing in player-facing generative AI.The reset includes significant cuts: employee count reduced to 17,097 (from 20,729 in 2022, a net loss of 3,633), selective studio closures (including Halifax and Stockholm), and a "final" €200 million savings push, with €234 million more planned over two years. Six games canceled (including Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake and unannounced titles), seven delayed (potentially impacting Assassin's Creed projects and Beyond Good & Evil 2), and four new IPs in development (including March of Giants).Financially, expect short-term hits in FY2026-2027: €386 million gross margin reduction, €650 million R&D depreciation, and €350 million net bookings drop. A mandatory five-day in-office policy has sparked internal unrest and backlash against leadership.Analytic Dreamz explores the implications for Ubisoft's future, from agile decision-making and long-term sustainability to employee sentiment and investor reactions in this in-depth analysis.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Talk Back to MeAt its core, Ghost Recon Wildlands is a game about Insurgency. You, the player, engage in various forms of Unconventional Warfare, on a mission to take down a Drug Cartel set in a Fictional Bolivia. The Success of Wildlands rushed a sequel: Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Despite being set up for success, Breakpoint bombed, leaving the players that loved Wildlands disappointed and distrusting of the developers. This Ghost Recon Wildlands review covers 5 points of comparison between it and its sequel: Narrative, Interactions, Allies, Enemies, and Gameplay. Critics of Breakpoint often focus on predatory microtransactions which do come play. However, the failure of Breakpoint runs deeper. Not only does the mechanism of the game struggle to keep the player engaged, the content departs from the subtle hat tip of Wildlands, replacing the player with a hammer-looking-for-nails pawn of generically forgettable non-playable characters. Use Code 2025deaddrop10 for 10% off your order at obsidianarms.comThis episode has been sponsored by Obsidian Arms, a manufacturer of tools, parts and firearms, as well as operating as an OEM shop for those looking to bring excellence to the market.

In this episode of Future of Film, Alex Stolz speaks with worldbuilding pioneer Kurt McClung, a narrative designer whose “world-first” methodology has helped build over 100 fictional universes across AAA games, film, TV, animation, and transmedia. From major gmaing franchises such as Ghost Recon and Beyond Good & Evil 2 to original IPs in development for the screen, Kurt has worked at the intersection of storytelling, design, and audience engagement for over two decades. Kurt shares why the traditional focus on characters and plot is no longer enough and how starting with a flawed world, defined by a central metaphor or societal question, can unlock new creative possibilities and commercial longevity. But more than that, Kurt explores how powerful worlds don't just contain stories they create space for audience participation, debate, and community-building. With real world and practical examples, Kurt explains how worldbuilding is not just a storytelling tool, it's a strategic engine that can align creative teams, connect with real-world conversations and give audiences something they want to explore, contribute to, and advocate for. Whether you're developing a game, a TV series, or an immersive transmedia experience, this conversation offers essential insights into designing IP that's both creatively bold and culturally resonant. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why starting with a flawed world — not a character — leads to stronger stories - How to frame your world as a metaphor for a meaningful societal question - The three essential elements of a compelling narrative bible - How world-first storytelling creates alignment across large creative teams - Why audiences gather around problems, not plots and how to build a community around your story -Practical strategies for involving marketing and distribution early through theme-based outreach - How to design IP with built-in potential for audience expansion and participation About Kurt McClung Kurt McClung is a transmedia storyteller with a passion for epic inspirational experiences. He started his career writing graphic novels and interactive children's books, and then blossomed into videogames and recently television and cinema. He has worked on over on one hundred fictional worlds for more than forty studios as a Creator, Writer, Lead Writer, Script Doctor, Content Director, Narrative Designer and World Designer. A specialist of IP creation, narrative structure and world logic with an industrial engineering education, he builds fictional journeys like one would plan the construction of a work of architecture. He has developed his own set of creative vision tools, and has shared his passion teaching transmedia strategy, interactive script writing, world design and 360 narrative design in several universities and for master class circuits. He serves as narrative Content Director on several boards of game studios he helped found. Kurt is an excellent team builder and creative alignment lead, whether on small scale projects or those of AAA scale. He strives to give audiences a novel point of view, an “extra life”.

Hitte of kil weer, zon of regen, elke dag zetten we trouw een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily voor je klaar. In deze dagelijkse vodcast nemen twee presentatoren de laatste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van videogames door en geven er hun mening over. Dat alles in pak-hem-beet 20 minuten tijd. Vandaag is Jelle aangeschoven bij JJ. Samen praten ze onder andere over de social media post die duidelijk maakte dat er gewerkt gaat worden aan een Mass Effect TV-serie. En dan ook nog wel door het team wat verantwoordelijk is voor de alom geprezen Fallout-serie. Het gesprek over dit onderwerp en meer ga je zien en horen in de GK Daily van 23 juli 2025.Het team achter de toffe Fallout TV-serie gaat ook de Mass Effect TV-serie makenGK Daily is er op alle werkdagen, op de vrijdag na. Dan presenteren we al zeventien jaar EvdWL, onze lange vodcast over al het nieuws van de afgelopen week. In deze editie praten Jelle en JJ zoals altijd over de meest interessante topics van het moment. Bijvoorbeeld het bericht dat Ubisoft bezig is met de ontwikkeling van een nieuwe Ghost Recon game. En voor het eerst sinds 2001 wordt dat een first person game. Vinden we dat vet en waarom kiest Ubisoft er opeens voor om een first person game te maken? De laatste twee edities waren bijvoorbeeld third person. Het antwoord op deze vraag krijg je in deze video.Ubisoft bezig met een nieuwe Ghost Recon-gameJelle en JJ hebben het in deze episode hebben de twee het ook over het besluit van Microsoft om de verkoop van films en series via hun PC en Xbox platform stop te zetten. Daarmee komt de wens die Microsoft ooit uitte op de E3 bij de reveal van de Xbox One ten einde. Die console zou namelijk het middelpunt van de huiskamer moeten worden. Een multimedia station waar je games op speelt, maar ook films en series op kijkt. Waarom dit besluit en waarom nu?

Scott and Josh discuss Donkey Kong, Ready or Not and the week's biggest news stories. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tot slot is daar de première van het eerste deel van een vierdelige serie over Elder Scrolls Online die we zelf hebben gemaakt.

Xbox is always finding rakes to step on, which is ridiculous. After the success for NCAA College football, EA is brining NCAA College Basketball, and no one is shocked. Vin Diesel announces the plan for Fast X part 2, and there's major concerns. Matt Reeves finally finishes the Script for The Batman sequel, and James Gunn gives us who is playing Jor El. Plus a full review for F1 The Movie, which is hands down the best movie of the year so far. That and more on tonight's episode.

Ubisoft, géant du jeu vidéo français, navigue en eaux troubles. Entre chute de sa valeur boursière, retards de production, ventes en berne et un procès pour harcèlement, l'éditeur a traversé une période critique. L'échec commercial de Star Wars Outlaws, lancé l'an dernier, a symbolisé ces difficultés. Heureusement, Ubisoft a pu s'appuyer sur ses licences phares, comme Assassin's Creed, pour attirer un acteur majeur de l'industrie : Tencent.Depuis plusieurs mois, des rumeurs circulaient sur un rapprochement entre Ubisoft et le géant chinois. Elles se confirment aujourd'hui avec l'annonce d'un investissement massif de Tencent, qui prend une participation de 10 % au capital et 25 % dans une nouvelle entité regroupant les équipes de développement des plus grandes franchises. Yves Guillemot, cofondateur et PDG d'Ubisoft, salue une étape clé : « Cette alliance marque un tournant dans notre transformation. Elle nous permettra d'être plus agiles et ambitieux. »L'objectif ? Améliorer la qualité des jeux solo et accélérer le développement des expériences multijoueur, avec une publication plus régulière de contenus. Un souffle financier bienvenu pour Ubisoft, qui pourra aussi se concentrer sur d'autres licences comme Ghost Recon et The Division. Pour Tencent, cet investissement s'inscrit dans sa stratégie d'expansion à l'international. Le président du groupe, Martin Lau, affiche son enthousiasme : « Nous avons confiance en la vision créative d'Ubisoft. Nous voyons un énorme potentiel pour développer ces franchises sur le long terme et offrir de nouvelles expériences aux joueurs. » Cette alliance pourrait bien permettre à Ubisoft de conquérir le marché asiatique, un territoire clé dans l'industrie du jeu vidéo.

Austin reviews Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. Xbox had a lot riding on Ninja Theory deliving a banger with this game but unfortunately it doesn't live up to the  first one aside from a mega graphics upgrade. Brett also dives into xDefiant, the new shooter from Ubisoft featuring characters from all their major franchises such as Watch Dogs, The Division, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and Far Cry. We also review Content Warning. A game developed by a few people and costing under 8 dollars, this game provides hours of fun with friends. Record something scary, record it and go viral. That's the pitch but unfortunately it rarely ever goes your way!We also talk about the reveal of Assassin's Creed Shadows. No gameplay yet but this game is set in feudal Japan where you can play either a female Ninja or a male Samurai. We're not sure how this mixture of characters will play into the Assassin's Creed lens, but we're waiting to see gameplay. We also look at the leaked footage of Deadlock from Valve. It's a hero shooter that mixes MOBA mechanics with a third person shooter game. It looks really good with a unique art style that has us intrigued.Show Notes:1:02 - Housekeeping2:23 - Senua's Saga Hellblade 2 Review: It's Boring.

On tonight's show, Clyde Lewis is joined by members of the Northwest Ghost Recon team, who have recently conducted an investigation at Renner's Grill in 'YE GHOSTS OF TERROR YET TO COME!'
