Ubisoft has registered domain names for what appears to be an unannounced Might and Magic game.
As spotted by X user Kurakasis, last month Ubisoft snapped up the domain names mightandmagicfates.com and might-and-magic-fates.com.
While unconfirmed, it’s speculated that these could be linked to previous Ubisoft Shanghai job listings, which said the Chinese studio was developing “a new Might & Magic AAA game”.
One position it was seeking to fill was that of world director, with the successful candidate expected to have significant experience developing open-world games.
The Might & Magic franchise dates back to 1986 when the first title in the series, Might and Magic Book One: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum, was released for Apple II, Mac, MS-DOS, Commodore 64, NES MSX and PC-Engine.

If you were anticipating an action-packed weekend of Stellar Blade action, then you probably should have known better to be honest. Despite being scheduled to release in 2023, it was pretty clear earlier this year that Korean developer Shift Up’s console debut would take a little longer to launch on PS5. It’s now been included in a list of PS Blog highlights, with a 2024 release window attached.
Apple may have crossed the $3 trillion valuation mark this year, making it the most valuable company in the world, but that does not mean the California-based firm had the most successful run in 2023 because other technology giants outperformed it by quite a fair margin. In fact, according to the latest report, Apple suffered its longest revenue slide in 22 years, with several challenges expected to make attempts at its growth in 2024.
NVIDIA has officially launched its GeForce RTX 4090 D graphics card in China which comes with very similar performance as the original RTX 4090.
Following a 14-year partnership, Blizzard and NetEase had a loud and controversial split in late 2022. The Chinese publisher operated Blizzard's games in China as the licensed partner required by the government. The announcement came in November 2022, revealing to angry fans that popular games such as Overwatch 2, Diablo III, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm would not be available any longer starting on January 23, 2023 across mainland China.
I was in two minds about whether to write this up, because it is a teensy bit NSFW, but I take solace in the thought that my ideas of NSFW content aren't so much "tame" as "selectively bred to the point that I can only perceive the colour beige", and besides which, I haven't played an outright body horror-themed bullet hell/danmaku shooter before.
Embark Studios' The Finals is one of the most interesting multiplayers to come along for a while. It's also a brand new game from a new studio, and it unsurprisingly has some issues at launch. Alongside its underwhelming AI-assisted voiceovers, weird bugs, and questionable balance at the start of Season 1, as Morgan has pointed out, it's a sweaty beast, placing major emphasis on multi-way competitive shooting that can overly rely on being the twitchiest trigger finger, and neglecting the tactical potential of its fantastic destruction tech.
Tencent has closed one of their own studios, and alongside it, a AAA game that didn’t make it to a public announcement.
has just unveiled the most recent character addition to its line-up, and the new arrival has a name that's definitely going to cause some headaches. The ever-expanding roster is a major aspect of 's enduring appeal, as new updates frequently bring characters with different playstyles and personalities. Keeping track of them all can be difficult for newcomers, but the distinct names with linguistic roots in a variety of cultural inspirations can sometimes make it easier to tell them apart.
In Diablo 4's hardest dungeon, you have 10 minutes and one life to kill the hardest enemies in the game. A little over a week after its launch, a Chinese player named Xingluoah was able to conquer the final and most brutal tier of the Abattoir of Zir using a newly discovered exploit, a perfected build, and the wrong pair of pants.
There are definitely a few games that are nigh invisible in certain circles, but are secretly absolutely huge — we can certainly count Human: Fall Flat in that camp. Coming to PS4 in 2017 and available physically and digitally, the physics-based platformer has now reached an incredible sales milestone, having just surpassed 50 million shipped copies globally.
