Assassin’s Creed Mirage Using Microtransactions For Certain Cosmetic Items

If you’ve ever found yourself sucked out of a deeply historical series like Assassin’s Creed due to its reluctance to adopt the mother tongue of its otherwise meticulously detailed backdrop, then Mirage may just win you back. As part of Gamescom Opening Night Live earlier this week, French publisher Ubisoft showcased a new trailer confirming the title’s “full Arabic voiceover”.

With the clock clicking down to the launch of Forza Motorsport about a month and a half from now, Turn 10 Studios has revealed several tracks that will be featured in the racing sim over recent weeks, including the likes of Road America, Maple Valley Raceway, Suzuka Circuit, Nürburgring GP, and a new introduction in Grand Oak Raceway. Now, a couple more tracks have been revealed for the game.

In a world where Hollywood often paints hackers as enigmatic figures equipped with sophisticated technology, the reality can sometimes be startlingly different. Instead of high-tech gadgets and fancy setups, a simple Amazon Fire TV stick, a smartphone, keyboard, and mouse were enough for Arion Kurtaj, a member of the hacking group Lapsus$, to leak videos from the highly anticipated game Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA 6). Surprisingly, he accomplished this while staying in a UK hotel room. 

One thing that's almost immediately apparent in Baldur's Gate 3 is the quality of its character animations⁠—it's hard to pick just one example, but Lae'zel's freaky little head jerks as she rants about the ghaik definitely come to mind for me. It turns out, the way Larian managed that level of animation detail was with a ludicrous amount of targeted motion capture of the game's many voice actors.

The teenagers who were part of an international cyber-crime gang were found responsible for a hacking spree, and will be sentenced at a later date.

A court in the UK has found that an 18-year-old from Oxford, Arion Kurtaj, was a part of the Lapsus$ hacking group responsible for hacking a range of tech firms including Nvidia and Rockstar Games. These intrusions resulted in a major leak of footage from the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, a game that Rockstar has yet to officially unveil, and the court heard that Kurtaj leaked the clips from a Travelodge hotel while he was already on bail after being arrested for another hack.

In rather upsetting news, Bioware, the developers behind Dragon Age: Dreadwolf and Mass Effect, have announced that the company will be laying off around 50 employees as part of its efforts to restructure the studio’s approach to development.

Revolution Software is not a big developer. Right now, it’s six people, based in the historic English city of York, plus freelance contractors. It was a bit bigger in the mid-1990s, when Charles Cecil’s team released its biggest hit, Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, a point-and-click adventure game about a lawyer and a journalist stumbling upon an ancient religious conspiracy, and a close cousin to LucasArts classics like Monkey Island. But the genre fell out of fashion, publishers lost interest, and at one point, Cecil had to let everyone go.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage just got a new trailer during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, giving fans a new glimpse of the upcoming stealth-centric title.

Less than two months left to go until Assassin's Creed Mirage launches on October 5, and as promised, more of the game was shown at Gamescom. A brand new trailer for Mirage premiered during the show, all of which was in Arabic with English subtitles as lead character Basim detailed his mission and more of what Mirage is all about. Ubisoft has confirmed players will have the option to play the entire game that way to make the experience feel more authentic.
