Despite rumors initially pointing to a reveal happening today, a new report from Insider-Gaming points to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced getting its full reveal next week. But most importantly, the report claims that we have a release date to look forward to for the upcoming remake. Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will reportedly launch on July 9, 2026. This comes after Ubisoft reportedly held a private presentation for content creators and select members of the press today, ahead of next week's full public reveal.

As we've continued to wait for any sign of Fairgames' release, Raymond left the studio, it was rumored to be cancelled at one point, and now, a new report claims it has pivoted to be a new kind of game in what is seemingly the hottest genre around: extraction shooters.

Glen Schofield, the Dead Space creator and more recently the founder of Striking Distance Studios, the team behind the Dead Space spiritual successor, The Callisto Protocol, is the kind of industry veteran who is almost always up for sharing his thoughts on what he believes the path forward for the industry is.

Starfield finally made its (somewhat inevitable) arrival on PS5 last week, alongside the launch of its Free Lanes update and the Terran Armada DLC expansion, and in its first week on PlayStation, according to a new report from Alinea Analytics, the game has managed to sell 140K copies. Not a bad start when you look at it on the surface, but Alinea's report seemingly proves that Starfield is mid. Or at least its PS5 launch sales are, compared to other Xbox Game Studios-published games that have arrived on PS5 within the last six months. Compared to The Outer Worlds 2, […]

Rockstar, the studio behind several of the biggest video games of all time who will soon add another game to that list with the release of GTA 6 later this year, confirmed over the weekend that a group of hackers had indeed successfully stolen some measure of data from the company.
