Insomniac Games in particular has had a bit of a history when it comes to their projects leaking early. Be it through data breaches or voice actor slip-ups the studio’s in-development titles have seemingly been known for quite some time. That said, in what is perhaps the first semi-official confirmation, the face model for Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spider-Man has teased their next project.

Posting a story to their Instagram page, the face model for Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spider-Man games ‘Ben Jordan’ shared an image of themselves at a performance capture studio alongside the caption “IYKYK” (if you know you know).

Having worked exclusively on the Spider-Man games in this particular industry, many fans are speculating that work is officially starting on the unannounced Spider-Man 3.

As mentioned, Insomniac Games have suffered from data breaches in the past which indicated that the studio would be working on a 3rd mainline entry in the successful Spider-Man series.

That said, with a number of these leaked projects (such as Spider-Man The Great Web and the Venom spin-off) seemingly being cancelled, the status of Spider-Man 3 was not guaranteed. Fortunately, it appears as though these fears can be put to rest.

Of course, Insomniac’s next project is slated to be Marvel’s Wolverine, with the much-anticipated title set to release later this year. As such, it is likely that the next Spider-Man is still quite a ways away – even though Insomniac are a surprisingly efficient studio.

Due to the public nature of video game ratings boards, we’ve gotten various details on a ton of different unannounced and in-development titles over the years. As such, it comes as little surprise that in anticipation of Ubisoft’s proper unveiling of the long-rumoured Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced remake, another games rating board has given us our first ‘official’ set of details.

As discovered by ResetEra user ‘nicoreese’, the Indonesian Game Rating Board (IGRSDB) recently published a listing for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Alongside an 18+ rating and a 2026 release year (as well as confirmation that the remake will be limited to the PS5, Series X|S and PC), the board published a brief description for the game which reads as follows:

“This title breathes new life into a fan favourite while remaining carefully faithful to the spirit of the original. It follows the story of charismatic pirate and Assassin Edward Kenway as he adventures through 18th Century Caribbean with parkours in cities, and battles at seas, in search of fortune and glory. Modernized in 2026, the new game includes a cast of new characters and stories.”

While relatively vague in specifics (understandably so), the fact that Resynced will feature “a cast” of new characters and stories suggests that Ubisoft will be fleshing out the game’s narrative in one form or another.

This lines up somewhat with previous rumours which claimed that the remake would offer “more content in Edward’s pirate era” – although according to the same report Black Flag’s modern day segments are being removed.

Regardless, it seems quite clear that this remake will be more than just a basic visual overhaul, with perhaps the most unlikely addition (new story content) being all-but-confirmed. It will be interesting to learn more about the game officially in the lead up to its expected August 2026 release.

Apple's first-ever "background security improvement" fixes a vulnerability in its Safari browser running its latest software.

As the launch of Crimson Desert looms, Pearl Abyss has provided an exhaustive breakdown of how its highly anticipated open-world title will perform across a sprawling landscape of gaming hardware. By unveiling specific targets for PC, home consoles, and even dedicated handhelds and Mac specifications, the studio seems pretty confident in its proprietary BlackSpace Engine.

On the console front, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X users will have access to three distinct graphical profiles tailored to different gameplay priorities. The Performance Mode aims for a fluid 60 FPS by targeting a native 1080p resolution with ray tracing set to its lowest settings and using Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) or VSync to maintain stability. For those seeking a middle ground, the Balanced Mode pushes the visual envelope to 4K by upscaling from a 1280p base using AMD's FSR 3 technology, targeting a stable 40 FPS. Finally, the Quality Mode prioritises fidelity, scaling a 1440p internal resolution to 4K with FSR 3 to hit a 30 FPS target, with the Xbox Series X and PS5 versions using the high preset ray tracing.

The Xbox Series S is more restricted, offering a 720p Performance profile at 40 FPS and a 1080p Quality profile at 30 FPS, both with ray tracing disabled to ensure consistent performance on the more modest hardware. Lastly, the PS5 Pro runs the game with the same performance targets as the standard consoles, but at 4K. However, in Performance mode, the base is 1080p, while in Balanced mode, it increases to 1440p. In both cases, PSSR is the upscaling method used, and ray tracing is set at high. In the Ultra preset, the ray tracing is set at Ultra.

For PC players, the entry-level requirements are surprisingly inclusive, allowing the game to run on hardware nearly a decade old. The minimum spec calls for an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT paired with an Intel Core i5-8500 or Ryzen 5 2600X, targeting 30 FPS at 1080p (upscaled from 900p) on minimum settings.

To reach a native 1080p at 30 FPS with low settings, a slight bump to a GTX 1660 or RX 6500 XT is required. The Recommended Spec, which aims for 1080p at 60 FPS or 4K at 30 FPS with medium settings, moves into the mid-range territory, requiring an RTX 2080 or RX 6700 XT paired with a Ryzen 5 5600 or i5-11600K. For 1440p at 60 FPS with high settings, users will need an RTX 4070/Radeon RX 7700 XT and a Core i5-12600K/Ryzen 5 7600X. Those targeting 4K at 60 FPS on Ultra settings will need an Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti or the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, backed by an i5-13600K or Ryzen 7 7700X. All PC configurations require 150 GB of SSD space and 16 GB of RAM.

Handheld owners have also received dedicated guidance, with Pearl Abyss highlighting the performance delta between various handheld units. The standard Asus ROG Xbox Ally (Z2 A) is expected to maintain 40 FPS at 720p with FSR 3 Frame Generation. However, the newer ROG Xbox Ally X (Z2 Extreme) leverages its superior thermal and memory headroom to reach 60 FPS in Performance mode by upscaling 720p to 1080p with FSR 3 Frame Generation enabled. Even in its Quality mode, the Ally X is projected to deliver a respectable 1080p at 30 FPS, making it a viable way to experience the continent of Pywel on the go.

Surprisingly, Pearl Abyss also shared the specs for Mac systems, and in quite a lot of detail. Note that the chart highlights a massive performance delta between macOS 15 and the upcoming macOS 26, with the latter leveraging advanced MetalFX frame interpolation to effectively double frame rates across all tiers. Regardless of the system, like on PC and handheld systems, you'll need 16 GB of RAM and 150 GB of storage. To even get through the gate at “Minimum” settings, you're looking at an M2 Pro (ray tracing off) or a base M3/M4 chip (ray tracing on) to hit 30 FPS at sub-1080p resolutions. To push for “Ultra” settings at 4K with 60 FPS, you'll need an M3 Ultra or an M4 Max (both require macOS 26+).

KitGuru says: In an era where many “next-gen” titles feel unoptimised at launch, Pearl Abyss's new game looks to have gone the other way around. If the launch-day performance matches these specs, Crimson Desert could become the new standard for open-world tech.

Pandemic-driven lockdowns exposed many people in India to PCs for the first time, expanding the country's PC userbase and creating demand for upgrades as those devices age.

Ever since the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Ubisoft has slowly but surely updated a large majority of its last-gen titles with support for higher framerates on current hardware. The most recent title to receive such a benefit was Assassin’s Creed Unity. Interestingly, while the update only advertised a boost to 60fps, fans have noticed that the title appears to also include a couple other notable enhancements.

Following the surprise release of Assassin’s Creed Unity’s 60fps update, fans have been checking the title out and noticed that the game’s visuals appear much sharper than expected.

For context, the original AC: Unity ran at just 900p on last-gen consoles, and so it was expected that this would remain the case. That said, while not confirmed, many users have since claimed that the game is running at resolutions far exceeding the aforementioned 900p.

Unfortunately, it’s not all good news, with a similar issue seen in AC: Syndicate’s current-gen patch finding its way into Unity – that being the fact that cloth physics are still limited to 30fps. Given that the playable characters themselves are dripped out in various cloaks and hooded outfits, the disparity between the 60fps world and 30fps physics can be distracting.

Still, this update has been long-awaited, and with the game seeing more than just a 60fps boost, playing Assassin’s Creed Unity on current-gen consoles should be a rather refreshing experience.

To this day, Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the most ambitious entries in the series, with the PlayStation 4 / Xbox One title buckling somewhat under the weight of Ubisoft’s dense 18th century Paris. Despite launching with an uncapped framerate, Unity would later be updated with a 30fps cap. While appreciated at the time, fans have been hoping for a current-gen patch for quite a while. Finally, following the likes of AC: Syndicate, Origins; Odyssey and more, Assassin’s Creed Unity has gotten a 60fps update.

Making the announcement as part of a big brand update, the team at Ubisoft unveiled a ton of new details surrounding current and future Assassin’s Creed titles. Alongside updates on the likes of codename HEXE and INVICTUS, Ubisoft confirmed that AC: Unity is finally getting its long-awaited framerate boost on console, writing:

“A free 60 FPS patch for Assassin's Creed Unity is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 [today]! We know some of you have been waiting for it for a long time, so get ready to re‑experience 18th century Paris and Arno's fancy parkour moves with more smoothness on consoles!”

Unfortunately, as with most of Ubisoft’s 60fps upgrades, the game’s visuals have not been touched, meaning even on PS5 users will be stuck at just 900p.

Still, having the game finally run at a locked 60fps is certainly welcome regardless. It will be interesting to see whether they have plans to release similar patches for the few remaining AC titles still locked to 30fps.

For quite some time now we’ve been hearing that Ubisoft is working on a full blown remake of their fan-favourite Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. With multiple in-development projects being cancelled at Ubisoft recently however, the game’s future was somewhat unknown. In a surprise franchise update, Ubisoft have now officially confirmed that a Black Flag remake is in the works – though details still remain sparse.

As part of a blog post detailing the future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise in the wake of its recent developer shake-ups, Ubisoft took time to tease what we’ve ‘known’ for a while: that a remake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is in the works, writing:

“Speculation around Assassin's Creed is not new, but it's worth repeating: ‘Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.’ Well, except in this case, some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon.”

Alongside this teaser, the team shared the first piece of concept art for the remake, confirming that it will be called AC: Black Flag Resynced.

As mentioned, we’ve gotten a bunch of different leaks over the years discussing various aspects of this remake. As noted however, the company has recently undergone a great deal of restructuring, and so it’s likely that Resynced could be quite different from how previous leaks described it.

We will have to wait and see, but finally, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is officially real and coming at some point in the future. The full blogpost, including the confirmation that AC: Unity is getting a 60fps patch on console, can be found HERE.

The notorious 16-pin connector melting didn't originate with the RTX 50 series, and it dates back to as early as 2022, when we used to see regular reports of connector melting on the RTX 4090. Despite NVIDIA and its AIBs' attempts to mitigate the problem, the saga continues. Almost every week, we hear new reports of connector melting, mostly on the flagship Blackwell GeForce RTX 5090, rated at 575W. We have been reporting the stories regularly since the launch of the RTX 5090, and even a year after its official launch, the reports continue. Today, we will be deep diving […]

While the Assassin’s Creed franchise is in a bit of an odd spot currently, one of the most interesting upcoming entries in the series is AC: Hexe – a somewhat unique title rumoured to be set in 16th century Europe, featuring elements of witchcraft and possibly a fear system. Unfortunately, in the wake of the recent shake-ups at Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed Hexe’s director ‘Clint Hocking’ has left the promising project.

As reported by the publication VGC, following the recent shake-up at Ubisoft (which included an overhaul to the Assassin’s Creed franchise team), long-time veteran Clint Hocking has been confirmed to have departed Ubisoft.

Announced by the newly-appointed AC franchise leadership team during an internal meeting, Ubisoft confirmed that Hexe has not been cancelled and that development will continue. Jean Guesdon (the director of AC Origins and the beloved Black Flag) is taking over as creative director.

Speaking to VGC on this latest change, a spokesperson for the company shared the following:

“We sincerely thank [Clint] for his vision, creative contributions, and dedication over the years, and we wish him the very best in his next chapter. Development on Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe continues with a seasoned team. The game will deliver something distinctive within the Assassin’s Creed franchise. We look forward to sharing more information in the future.”

Assassin’s Creed Hexe was first teased all the way back in 2022. With little-to-nothing seen from the project since – and now this latest spanner being thrown into the works – it will be interesting to see what becomes of the title.

While Insomniac recently stated that it wouldn't be sharing more news about its Wolverine game until the Spring, it turns out that wasn't entirely true. Today, Marvel and Sony both announced that Insomniac's Wolverine will be launching in September. 

Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac Games is now officially launching on the 15th of September, giving it a solid two months on the market before Rockstar dominates the charts with Grand Theft Auto 6.

Insomniac's Wolverine is a standalone game set in an expanded in-game universe that also encompasses Insomniac's Spider-Man games. Unlike Spider-Man, Wolverine will not be an open-world game, but will instead be a linear action-adventure with a number of unique levels.

While not yet confirmed, Wolverine is believed to be a precursor to Insomniac's own X-Men game.
