V Rising Bitten Down by 26%, a Limited Time Ghost of Tsushima PC Discount, and More!

Welcome to another week of hot deals to keep you warm, indoors, and still rich enough for pizza. Things to note for today include Amazon getting competitive with the preorder price of Assassin's Creed Shadows. I'm also all about hooking up you PC folk with free (with Prime) versions of Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Forgotten City, two titles worthy of any respectable pile o' shame.

We’ve been asking for it ever since the series debut, and now we’re finally getting an Assassin’s Creed game set in Feudal Japan. Previously known by the code name Assassin’s Creed Red, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be the latest entry in the long-running Assassin’s saga. Ubisoft let us know we would be getting the world premiere trailer first, but it turns out there was a lot more to show than just a first glimpse at the game. We’ve managed to gather all the footage and information shared online to deliver you the goods about Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

For those who have just started their epic journey in Ghost of Tsushima, you may have heard that there is a special Digital Deluxe horse — and to help you choose the best, we’ll go over each of the horses.

has been revealed. The manga takes place in a world where powerful curses exist due to the negative cursed energy that humans discharge. Jujutsu Sorcerers with various abilities train to get rid of these curses. Currently, they’re united to take down the strongest curse of all, Sukuna. So, here’s the Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 release date info and where-to-read info.

The INDIE Live Expo 2024 showcase will air on May 25 at 1:00 a.m. PT / 4:00 a.m. ET / 17:00 JST, and feature world premieres and content updates across over 100 hand-picked titles throughout a variety of segments, organizer Ryu’s Office announced. You will be able to watch it in English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese on YouTube, Twitter, and Twitch.

Welcome to a day of samurai, wanton assassination, and savings. Obviously, I'm more talking about a discount on the imminently releasing Ghost of Tsushima as opposed to the just revealed Assassin's Creed Shadows. Preorders are indeed open for that, but I'm the type to at least wait for some actual gameplay video before getting too excited. Because, let's be honest, Sucker Punch—and to a lesser extent, Team Ninja—have left some pretty big sandals to fill.

Not to paint things dystopian, but the cost of living sure is ridiculous right now. If you're currently doing life on hard mode, I reckon you could do with some dirt cheap entertainment that dispenses multi-hour escapism. Enter: video games. More specifically, the discounted gems I've curated below—like an overloaded Animus worth of Assassin's Creed adventures, low cost preorders, and more!

Let's dispense with the pleasantries and cut to a deal that's close to my heart. You'd be nuts not to go buy Broforce for 80% off and under a fiver. It's like a side-scrolling Expendables film—but not rubbish—that includes OTT gore, a who's who pun-ification of every action star that matters, and 4P co-op. I'm also all about that dirt cheap Pokémon Pearl and a cool 144 bucks off a Switch OLED.

Welcome to yet another week of paying a little for a lot. The Microsoft and PlayStation stores are starting to warm up with a bunch of decent sales events—the pick of which are represented below. I'm also keeping an eye on Amazon for any sign of extraordinarily early EOFY deals as well. Not much doing there. But I'll be ready to holler if and when they appear.
