We’ve been hearing about a game called Assassin’s Creed Invictus for over a year now. However, it’s not a typical Assassin’s Creed game. Instead, it’s a spin-off that plays more like Fall Guys – a surprising direction for Ubisoft, who seem to be expanding into the party game genre with this project.
The Family Guy trilogy that parodied the original Star Wars films was a huge hit, and fans have been hoping for more crossovers ever since. For 16 years, nothing new happened, but now Hulu has released a teaser hinting at another Family Guy and Star Wars collaboration to coincide with the release of Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu later this month. You can see a sneak peek of the upcoming crossover below.
YouTuber JorRaptor, who recently got an early look at the game and spoke with the developers, shared that this applies to the standard gameplay. Separately, there’s a ‘Tac Sim’ mode where players can replay missions with different goals – like completing a level without using any weapons. Successfully completing these challenges earns players Intel, which can be used to unlock upgrades for gadgets, weapons, and outfits.
The popular manga Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is published in Weekly Shonen Magazine, the same magazine that features the long-running Detective Conan. To celebrate Conan Edogawa’s birthday on May 4th, and to showcase two of the magazine’s biggest series, a special crossover between Frieren and Detective Conan has just been released. You can find it below!
I’m so excited about the X-Men finally joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe! It’s not just about seeing them team up with the Avengers and other heroes – they’re going to get their own stories too, and Marvel has said they’re looking at the classic X-Men comics, especially the ones written by Chris Claremont. Claremont’s work is amazing – he created so many of the stories we all love, which means there’s a ton of material the MCU can use. Honestly, there are a few storylines in particular that need to be adapted for the big screen, and I can’t wait to see which ones they choose!
As a huge fan, I truly believe Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale were a perfect creative partnership, and their Batman stories prove it. Their series really built on the amazing foundation they laid with The Long Halloween, finally showing us what Catwoman was up to in Italy – specifically, her search to find out if Carmine Falcone was actually her father. The story runs alongside the second half of Dark Victory, all happening within just one incredibly packed week. It’s full of action, mystery, and honestly, the character work is just phenomenal. Loeb always understood Selina Kyle so well, and this story showcases that talent beautifully, with a classic crime and mystery feel.
Set in 2149, the series Terra Nova takes place on a future Earth ravaged by overdevelopment and pollution. Facing the planet’s inevitable decline, scientists discover a way to open a portal through time and space, leading to prehistoric Earth. This offers humanity a final opportunity to start over. The Shannon family travels through the portal to Terra Nova, hoping to build a sustainable life, but they soon realize some members of the expedition have hidden agendas that threaten the mission to save humanity.
I remember when Genshin Impact got huge during the pandemic – it really changed things! Suddenly, a bunch of console games started popping up trying to be just like it. They all went with the free-to-play model, which is cool, but then they added those frustrating systems where you basically gamble to get characters, and honestly, keeping track of all the different in-game currencies felt like a full-time job!
Performance Mode doesn’t look quite as detailed, but that’s intentional – it focuses on running the game at a consistent 60 frames per second. To achieve this, the resolution adjusts automatically. We’ll need to test it to see how much the image quality decreases during complex, action-packed moments.
Good news for anyone hyped for the game – you can now pre-load it on Xbox Series X/S and PC! Just a heads-up, it’s a big download – around 130-135GB on Xbox and a whopping 160GB on PC (and seriously, make sure you have an SSD for PC, you’ll need it – check the full specs here). And if that wasn’t enough to get you excited, Playground Games also just revealed all the radio stations we’ll be listening to while cruising around Japan!
