Ubisoft Reveals Why Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Was Pulled From Steam

NVIDIA's next-gen GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPU rumors have started to roll out from reliable leakers such as Kopite7kimi.

With EA Sports FC 24, the first game in Electronic Arts' post-FIFA world, just a few days from launch, last year's FIFA 23, and all other games in the FIFA series, have been removed from sale on Steam, Epic, and other digital storefronts.

As EA Sports FC 24 draws closer, old FIFA games including FIFA 23 have disappeared and been made unavailable to buy on digital stores including Steam, Epic, and the respective stores for PlayStation and Xbox. FIFA 23 is seemingly still available via the EA app, but otherwise older games in the football series are currently not available on PC.

Mortal Kombat 9 has been removed from sale on Steam.

In a bid to revive the Chandrayaan-3 mission on the lunar surface, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is facing a daunting challenge as they attempt to reestablish communication with the dormant Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover. Despite their best efforts, no signals have been received from the lunar duo, leaving ISRO in a race against time to awaken these vital components of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on the Moon.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is prepping for its October 5 launch and ahead of that, Ubisoft has dropped system requirements for the same. Unlike the norm with AAA PC games these days, this ninth-century Baghdad-set title appears to be rather forgiving on hardware, essentially going back an entire graphics generation. Running the game on Ultra settings does not require AMD's latest 7000 or Nvidia's 40 series cards. That said, the accompanying ‘PC Features' trailer shows Intel as its official partner, assuring that it's been optimised for the Arc GPUs and the respective 13th-Gen processors. This feels like a weird choice since it's not a really popular graphics card in the PC gaming community.

The latest mainline Assassin’s Creed game is coming our way next month. Players can get ready for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and if you plan on picking this game up on the PC platform, there are some features to make note of. Today, a new video trailer was released that offers a look at some of the PC features that would be coming to the game. You can check out the brief trailer in the video we have embedded below, along with a breakdown of the features confirmed from the trailer.

Apple unveiled its new iPhone 15 lineup at its Wonderlust event on Tuesday, announcing plans to bring some AAA console and PC games to the mobile platform. That is if you purchase an iPhone 15 Pro, which is powered by the cutting-edge six-core A17 Pro chipset that allows for the games to run natively on the device with ray-tracing enabled. Games like Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and the upcoming Assassin's Creed Mirage will be out on the iPhone 15 Pro later this year and into early 2024. The company has historically boasted about its mobile devices' gaming performance, but this would be the first time we ever actually get to see it in action.

To say I've taken a stab at the Assassin’s Creed franchise would be quite the understatement. An understabment. I took my oaths in 2007, at the altar of Altaïr. I’ve gone under the hood of more than 15 games in this killer series about serial killers. I've spent 2,454 years “consciousness commuting” in an Animus, Whenever a new AC is announced, my ears prick up quicker than dual hidden blades.

Sports games are one of the genres in the video game industry that can be both easy to make and yet difficult to maintain over the years. It can be easy to make because the game is simply recreating the sport of basketball, which, by this point, has been done in various ways across gaming generations. You can get people to try it out as long as you keep things looking good and playing as they should. But the more titles you make of the sport, the harder it is to keep players coming back, as NBA 2K24 is finding out the hard way.

Mirage feels like a return to the series' roots but the smart implementation of mechanics and features from later games ensures it still feels modern.

It wouldn't be Willy Wonka without the Oompa Loompas. Starring as one of the chocolatier's loyal helpers opposite Timothée Chalamet is none other than Hugh Grant, which director Paul King believes is a particularly perfect piece of casting.
