Following the massive ransomware attack against Insomniac Games, Ubisoft was apparently targeted by hackers who tried stealing almost 1 terabyte of data.
Speaking with Bleeping Computer, the European company confirmed they are currently investigating an alleged data security incident following a report from VX-Underground, which also provided proof of how hackers had access to the company's Microsoft Teams, Confluence, and SharePoint. The hackers had access to Ubisoft's data for around 48 hours before the administration realized what was happening and cut off access. In the end, it seems like the attack did not have major consequences, as the hackers lost access before they could steal the 900 GB of data that was targeted.
December 20th an unknown Threat Actor compromised Ubisoft. The individual had access for roughly 48 hours until administration realized something was off and access was revoked.
They aimed to exfiltrate roughly 900gb of data but lost access.

While some alleged Beyond Good & Evil 2 screenshots seem to be circulating online, it seems like Ubisoft managed to avoid the worst. It did not go as well for Insomniac Games, who has seen a huge amount of data leaked online following a successful ransomware attack, ranging from the company's future projects, a playable build of the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine, the release window for the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PC port, personal data of current and former employees and much more. The studio addressed the leak yesterday, stating that while the studio is obviously sad and angered at what happened, it will continue to work on Marvel's Wolverine and other projects to provide players with the same great experiences they have released so far.

What with the launch of couch co-op, Adventures mode and a variety of other free content updates, a Switch version, a new engine, two paid expansions (including an Among Us collaboration), plus news of an animated TV adaptation, 2023 was a busy year for Vampire Survivors. However, creator Poncle isn't done yet, and it's now share a revised development roadmap (of sorts) for its perennially vampire-free minimalist survival RPG, which includes an update on cross-saves and a potential online co-op mode.

It’s easy to think of Denzel Washington as the best actor of his generation, and in conversation with the greatest actors who have ever lived. He already has two Oscars, and has deserved many more. And with the recent release of The Equalizer 3 on Netflix, it’s the perfect time to look back on his body of work and legitimately pose the question: Is he also the greatest action star of his generation?
Ubisoft's upcoming 2.5D Metroidvania game Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has been developed to be «accessible by design», with a host of features that aim to make it an approachable release for all.

Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian is looking into reports that Xbox players are getting their accounts banned for posting "'gameplay content'".
When Star Wars Outlaws was formally unveiled in June, Ubisoft handed it a general 2024 release window, and that release window was seemingly narrowed down by a recent Disney blog post that stated the open world action-adventure game would be out sometime in “late” 2024.
Starbucks has found itself under hot water after a consumer protection group has made claims that the coffee chain has been profting from an unfair app payment system. The allegations suggest that a staggering $900 million profit has been made over the course of five years.
Yesterday (January 2), it temporarily appeared that Star Wars Outlaws’ vague 2024 release had been narrowed down with an all-new launch window. However, Ubisoft has now stated that this was an error, and the old, incorrect information has already been removed.
Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft's expansive open-world game set in the galaxy far, far away, was briefly known to be eyeing a ‘late 2024' release window, as per a recent Disney Parks blog. That has since been corrected to reflect a general timespan this year, with the publisher confirming to Kotaku that the timing was incorrectly displayed. First revealed during an Xbox Showcase last year, the title is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi movies, and introduces Kay Vess, a space scoundrel with a bounty on her head after botching up a job. Joining her on the crusade is the adorable axolotl-like alien Nix, performing certain actions at your command — akin to the BD-1 droid from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
A report stemming from a Disney Parks blog post earlier today suggested that the upcoming Ubisoft game would be coming out in late 2024. However, Ubisoft has since clarified the post in a statement.
