Netflix recently signed a deal with Ubisoft to produce a live-action Assassin's Creed series for the streaming service.

Netflix also has plans for two other potential series involving the Assassin's Creed brand with both being animated series.

While there are no plot details to speak of, Netflix promises Assassin's Creed will be an "epic, genre-bending adventure," and has begun its search for a showrunner and other production crew members ...

The live-action series is one of a number of projects that Netflix has on the books. The press release also hints at the possibilities of future "animated" and "anime" adventures set within the time-hopping franchise. Whether a live-action Assassin's Creed series receives the same level of global adoration as Netflix's The Witcher remains to be seen.

* According to Ubisoft's recent investor's meeting, Far Cry 6 has been delayed from its planned February 18, 2021 release to now a fiscal year 2021-2022 release window which means as late as a March 2022 date. Also being delayed into that time frame is Rainbow Six Quarantine. Official reason due to work issues related to the on-going coronavirus pandemic.
https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...d-608338.phtml

* According to a report from Bloomberg, development on Halo Infinite hit another snag recently as the game's lead director dropped out of the project and might also be leaving 343 Industries for a new job within Microsoft.

Although Lee will remain with Microsoft, it's unclear whether he's leaving 343 Industries. He's being shuffled around to some extent, but that could mean he's remaining with the studio but no longer influencing Halo Infinite. It could also mean that he's moving elsewhere within Microsoft's game division, as he's probably a prime candidate to help lead one of the many new development teams under Xbox's banner.

Looks like Best Buy is going to have The Last of Us Part II and Final Fantasy VII Remastered for $30, and Persona 5 Royal for $20 for Black Friday week. Will probably pick up TLOU II then, but think I'll wait for FF VII to come to PC so I can play in JP and English.

For those interested in the PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Activision broke down the hard drive space needed for certain aspects and modes of the game.

Multiplayer alone requires at least 50GB of free space at launch with more expected for future updates. All modes with regular graphics will require at least 175GB of free space and 250GB in free space for top tier graphics option at launch.

If you're installing "all game modes," Cold War will need 175GB, and if you're going extreme with top-of-the-line Ultra RTX specs with a GeForce RTX 3080, you're looking at a 250GB storage requirement.

* For those interested in the Xbox Series S model, almost a third of the console's HDD space will be unusable due to O.S. reasons. Out of around 512GB in total space, only 364GB can actually be used for game related stuff. For some comparison, the install size for this year's Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War game at launch will be around 136GB just for its campaign and zombies modes.
https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...e-609041.phtml

* Sega's parent company Sega Sammy Holdings recently announced that they have sold off around 85.1% of their entertainment business to GENDA with their gaming division except for Sega's arcade business unaffected by this sale.

Again, what does this have to do with games?! Well, the pachislot industry is certainly gaming, or gaming-adjacent, but this deal impacts Sega as a whole. Although their physical entertainment industry is the only space impacted here, it could help ensure that Sega Sammy doesn't have to make any cuts for existing studios. The future is uncertain, but it seems like Sega Sammy had no real choice here other than to find a buyer.

The corporation even explains it in their own words, noting that the "utilization of facilities has declined remarkably, and a significant loss was recorded at 1Q of the fiscal year ending March 2021."

Yeah, I dunno. If I'm gonna spend the money on a new console, that I'm going to be using for 5-8 years, I'm going to save up for the best version.

Is Dragon's Lair the most MF BITCH game ever? I received a medium arcade version in the mail today. It's just the right size to throw through the window.

* For those interested in either the PS5 or Xbox Series X or even both, the PS5 has around 667.2GB of usable space of out its 825GB SSD hard drive while the Series X has around 802GB of usable space out of its 1TB SSD hard drive. Another 10.98GB in free space is possible for the PS5 if you delete the pre-inetalled Astro's Playroom game that comes with every PS5.
https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...b-609277.phtml

* Based on a recently released PS5 FAQ from Sony, the battery life for the DualSense controller is around the same as the PS4's DualShock controller. Also takes around 3 hours to fully charge a DualSense controller via the PS5.
https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...s-609598.phtml

* According to a report from Bloomberg, Microsoft has been in recent talks with several Japanese studios regarding plans to purchase at least one of them as part of their aggressive plans to boost the strength of their Xbox Game Studios brand and market presence in Japan. For some reference, Xbox One sales have only been around 0.1% of all consoles sold in Japan during this year.

Ooof. Sounds like a worse hack job than the one Capcom just had.

Big time gaming outfits should do a check on their security right now.

LOL - that's too funny. Man, if it turns out to be some Meta-level shit, that'd be even better. I don't think a company would do something "that cool" but that'd be good stuff.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer currently denying reports of Microsoft planning to purchase a Japanese studio soon to beef up their Xbox Games Studios brand and market presence in Japan.

Xbox vice-president of gaming, Phil Spencer, has suggested that there is no truth to the recent reports that Xbox is in the market to purchase a Japanese development studio. In a recent interview with GameSpot, Spencer noted that while the company is looking to expand its relationships with a wider variety of game developers, an outright purchase is not on the cards.

"We're usually not out there... I say I don't think so, I mean, I'm not in every meeting that every team has. I'll say not from me," said Spencer. "Most of the opportunities that we've had to date have been for a long-lasting relationship. So I don't think we're out there with our business cards throwing them out on the corner trying to find people."

"I've talked about my affinity for Japanese studios and the thinking back in the day when we had more games in Japan created as part of our first-party. I'm excited when the deal closes to spend more time with Tango (Gameworks) and the work that they're doing. So it's an area I'm interested in, but no, I don't think. That's not accurate."

According to reports, Ubisoft is currently dealing with a potential hostage situation at their Montreal studios.

Incident started at around 1:30PM today and appears to have been a robbery attempt that quickly turned into a hostage situation based on reports from local media.

A group of suspects are reportedly holding tens of people hostage at Ubisoft Montreal, according to local (French-language) media outlet LCN. The situation reportedly began around 1:30pm Eastern Time.

Montreal police confirmed that there is an "ongoing police operation" at the intersection where Ubisoft Montreal sits, adding, "We ask people to avoid the area. The SPVM is currently validating information and more details will follow."

Montreal mayor Valérie Plante confirmed that her office is coordinating with the police and monitoring the situation and echoed the police's request for everyone to avoid the area.

According to Radio-Canada (story in French), police were dispatched to the scene following a 911 call reporting a robbery in a nearby commercial building.

Live-streamed footage from an LCN helicopter showed a group of people together on the roof deck of the building behind a makeshift barricade seemingly constructed of folding tables leaning against the access door. Developer Eric Pope confirmed in a Tweet that the individuals on the roof were indeed Ubisoft employees, saying, "This is insane. This is my team on the roof."

Their games have absolutely been terrible, recently.

Breakpoint is hot garbage, and a massive step down from Wildlands. Meanwhile Watchdogs Legion is still almost unplayable due to constant crashing.

THQ Nordic recently denied rumors of them currently working on a remake of TimeSplitters 2.

The rumor originated from an Easter egg discovered in their recently released SpellForce 3: Fallen God game involving one of the merchants in the game who talks about being willing to selling a copy of Timesplitters 2 to the player.

That led to people speculating THQ Nordic is currently working on a remake of the game since the same merchant also sells other games that THQ Nordic worked on in the past.

Players journeying through the continent of Urgath came across a particularly shady merchant who, among their wares, is willing to sell you the highly wish-listed remake of the classic 2002 shooter sequel. The same merchant also sells you "canceled" games such as Gothic and BioMutant - both of which have had lengthy development periods at THQ Nordic.

This didn't stop fans on the internet from proclaiming the appearance of the hypothetical remake as an official confirmation, which is apparently not the case at all. Speaking to Eurogamer, THQ Nordic has confirmed that the Timesplitters 2 reference is "just an innocent Easter egg" notably available from "a character known especially for not telling the truth."

Square Enix recently announced that a new Tomb Raider game is currently in development but with a big catch.

The game will be called Tomb Raider Reloaded, scheduled for a 2021 release, and is being developed by Emerald City Games. The big catch being that it will be a free-to-play type game for mobile devices.

Micorosft is currently expected to be making a major announcement at this Thursday's Game Awards Show with one rumor being them reviving the Perfect Dark series.

Most interesting (via VGC), is that Jeff Grubb said on a new GamesBeat podcast that "Microsoft has something coming to The Game Awards, I know that much."

The smart money (or at least the wishful "This could be a really big announcement" money) is that Xbox will lift the veil on whatever its new studio, The Initiative, is working on. The rumor that has picked up the most momentum over the past few months is that it's some sort of full reboot of the Perfect Dark universe.
