    Assassin’s Creed Red: Could It Be the Best Game in the Series?

    Assassin’s Creed Red is going to do something we’ve wanted Ubisoft to do since 2007: allow us to travel around Japan as an assassin. That’s what Project Red is assuring, which is the next big open-world action game from Ubisoft Quebec.

    Out of all the new Assassin’s Creed games we’ve heard about, like Assassin’s Creed Hexe and Assassin’s Creed Infinity, this one has grabbed our interest the most.

    The team that made AC Odyssey is creating a game set in Feudal Japan, and they’re calling it “the biggest hit of 2024.” Some people are saying that making Assassin’s Creed Red has gotten so big that it’s taken away time and money from other Ubisoft games.

    They even say that they might have cancelled Immortals Fenyx Rising 2 because of it.  In this article, we can provide everything we currently know about Assassin’s Creed Red.

    Assassin’s Creed Red: Ubisoft’s Next Top-Quality Game

    The next big game in the Assassin’s Creed series by Ubisoft Quebec will be set in Japan. This comes after the popular game Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The developer, Marc-Alexis Cote, has worked on some of the best Assassin’s Creed games.

    Cote said that Codename Red is going to be Ubisoft’s next top-quality game. He also hinted that it will shape the future of open-world RPG games in the Assassin’s Creed series.

    Assassin’s Creed Red Trailer

    The 30-second reveal trailer for Assassin’s Creed Red, which was shown at the Ubisoft Forward event in 2022, nonetheless managed to amaze us.

    It looks like the game will appear to confirm the Animus’s return (and the story’s split between the past and present), the new backdrop of feudal Japan, and our first glimpse of the all-new assassin, who is wearing jet-black Assassin Order robes and carrying a one-handed sword and hidden blade.

    But if the rumors are accurate, we might have an option between two playable characters: a samurai and a shinobi.

    Assassin’s Creed Red Story and Setting

    While the first trailer that showed off the game was really brief, Assassin’s Creed Codename Red will take place in ancient Japan. We don’t know much about what the place will look like, but as we get closer to that park we may learn more about this new adventure in Assassin’s Creed.

    We’ve seen some of the locations in previous games, so we can expect more in feudal Japan. Ubisoft says Assassin’s Creed Codename Red will be “the future of our open world RPGs,” so we can expect more exploration and a more interactive world to make the next game truly exciting.

    We don’t know the whole story yet, but a lot of people are excited about Codename Red in Japan. This could be one of the best Assassin’s Creed games ever, depending on how it feels when we play it.

    Assassin’s Creed Red Development

    Ubisoft Quebec is working on Assassin’s Creed Codename Red. The studio got its start making add-ons for Assassin’s Creed 3 and Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.

    It impressed the powers that be enough that it became the first company outside of series creator Ubisoft Montreal to be in charge of a mainline instalment. After that, Ubisoft Quebec was in charge of making Assassin’s Creed Syndicate in 2015 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in 2018.

    It’s not clear how long Assassin’s Creed Codename Red has been in development, but we do know that Jonathan Dumont will be back as creative director, which is the same job he had on AC Odyssey and Ubisoft Quebec’s Immortals Fenyx Rising, which came out in 2020.

  • GTA 6 Serial Killer Questline Could Be Like Red Dead Redemption 2’s Vampire Quest

    GTA 6 Serial Killer Questline Could Be Like Red Dead Redemption 2’s Vampire Quest

    In GTA 6, it seems there will be a storyline featuring a serial killer. This might remind you of similar quests in Rockstar Games titles like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, where there were also serial killers.

    In Red Dead Redemption 2, the serial killer is portrayed as a vampire. While there’s no proof of any supernatural elements in GTA 6, it appears that this familiar quest style has made a return.

    On the GTA 6 Reddit page, a user found something interesting in a leak from last year. In that leak, which included an early version of the game that became available online, videos were showing an event board of some sort.

    In these videos, there were references to tourists who had gone missing during various in-game events. The leak also mentioned the possibility of finding these missing tourists, who were likely deceased, in locations such as a sunken car, a cave, and a junkyard.

    In the Reddit post, “In one of the leaked clips we can see the dev accessing some sort of event board. There is a ton of interesting information on there, but one of them is the missing tourists event line featuring multiple events.”

    "Missing Tourists" event line

    A Reddit user named 2ln2auq2 commented, “Sounds like something similar to the letter scraps from GTA V.”

    It’s important to remember that this information is directly from the game’s files, but it should be taken cautiously. This is mainly because it’s from a very early version of the game.

    Rockstar Games has a reputation for removing content before the final release, often because it doesn’t meet their exceptionally high standards. To illustrate, during the development of Red Dead Redemption 2, they removed at least twelve hours of content.

    In simpler terms, just because this content was planned for the game doesn’t guarantee it was created, and even if it was, it might not make it into the final game when it’s released.

    Right now, Rockstar Games has not confirmed anything about this unofficial information.

  • Hellboy Web of Wyrd Release Date, Gameplay, Story, and More

    Hellboy Web of Wyrd Release Date, Gameplay, Story, and More

    The next game made by Upstream Arcade will let you play as Hellboy on different devices. It has a cool story made with help from Dark Horse Comics and the person who made Hellboy, Mike Mignola.

    Hellboy Web of Wyrd surprised both Hellboy and comic fans when it was revealed at The Game Awards in 2022. It got people excited and made it to the lists of the best games coming to PS5 and Xbox. But, will it be one of the best games in the roguelike genre? Here’s what you should know.

    Hellboy Web of Wyrd is coming out on October 4, 2023. You can play it on different game consoles like PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Upstream Arcade told everyone the release date at a big gaming event called Gamescom 2023.

    The official Twitter account for Hellboy Web of Wyrd confirms the release date:

    Hellboy Web of Wyrd Gameplay

    Hellboy Web of Wyrd is like a video game where you control a tough character named Hellboy. In the game, you’ll fight with monsters and creatures up close and personal. Hellboy can punch them, but if you prefer to shoot from a distance, you can use guns.

    However, it seems like you might not have as many bullets as you do punches. Hellboy Web of Wyrd trailer shows what the game looks like and the exciting things you can do when the game comes out.

    Hellboy Web of Wyrd Story

    The newest Hellboy video game is called “Hellboy Web of Wyrd.” In this game, you get to play as Hellboy and go to a strange place called the Wyrd. The story happens in the early 1980s, and Hellboy’s job is to find a special agent from the B.P.R.D. organization and bring them back.

    But that’s not all, he also has to solve a mystery in a creepy mansion called The Butterfly House, which can open doors to the Wyrd dimension.

    The voice of Hellboy in the game is done by Lance Reddick, who sadly passed away but recorded his voice for this role before he did. He was a very talented actor, so we’re excited to see how interesting Hellboy will be in the game.

    To stay alive in the game, you need to avoid and block enemy attacks. As you fight, you collect something called “Fable,” which you can use to make Pinocchio (the main character) stronger or to use special abilities.

    When you defeat enemies, you earn something called “Ergo.” You can use Ergo to make Pinocchio’s abilities better or to buy new gear and items.

    Lies of P story

    Lies of P is kinda of like the story of Pinnochio but in a different way. In this game, there’s a city called Krat that’s in big trouble. The rules of a group called the Grand Covenant have gotten worse, and now puppets are hurting people and causing a lot of problems.

    On top of that, there’s a sickness spreading, and it’s making everyone in the city unable to move. You play as a special puppet made by a guy named Geppetto, and the future of humanity is in your hands, just like Pinnochio. But to save the city, you’ll have to tell lies and do some not-so-nice things. It’s up to you to make Krat better again.

  • Modern Warfare 3 Fans Are Buzzing About a Possible Zombies Beta

    Modern Warfare 3 Fans Are Buzzing About a Possible Zombies Beta

    Attention, gamers! An insider has just dropped some exciting news – the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Zombies beta is on the horizon!

    Modern Warfare III is the third game in the series that started in 2019. This time, a new team called Sledgehammer Games is making it. They’re also bringing back all the maps from Modern Warfare 2, which came out in 2009, but they’re making them look even better for both old and new players to enjoy.

    For the first time in the Modern Warfare series, they’re adding the beloved Zombies mode. But it’s not their first time doing this kind of mode because Sledgehammer Games has experience with it in other Call of Duty games like Black Ops Cold War.

    Before Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III comes out, they’ll let people try a part of the game called the multiplayer in a special test. They’ve done this kind of test many times before.

    But now, there might also be a test for a different part of the game called Zombies, which hasn’t happened before. This information comes from someone who knows a lot about the game.

    HeyImAlaix seems to be hinting at a Zombies beta. But, it’s important to know that the tweet is very unclear. All it shows is a zombie emoji and the letter ‘b’ in Greek. Some people think this might be a hint about a Zombies beta, but it’s hard to be sure because the tweet is so vague.

    This tweet might not be true or might have nothing to do with Call of Duty. Right now, we can only make guesses. So, it’s a good idea to be cautious about rumors and guesses until we have proof.

    Fans Reaction

    Danny said on Twitter, I wish

    A fan says, “Everyone else saying we’ll get zombies in the beta…i’m thinking more along the lines that MW3 zombies is the beta for cod 2024 zombies.”

  • Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Release Date, Price, Trailer, Story, and Gameplay

    Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Release Date, Price, Trailer, Story, and Gameplay

    Hey, Gamers! Now that the newest movie in the series is released, we hope you can explore the thick forests of Pandora soon. You’ll play a role in the Wild West and use the environment as your weapon to fight against the RDA forces and take back what belongs to you.

    Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is a cool video game made by Massive Entertainment which made games like The Division 2 and South Park: The Fractured but Whole. In this game, you get to be the Na’Vi on a new part of the planet that we haven’t seen before called the Western Frontier.

    You’ll need to use everything you’ve got to win, and it might be one of the best PC games when it comes out in 2023 or whenever it’s released.

    Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Release Date

    Avatar Frontiers of Pandora will come out on December 7, 2023. Ubisoft shared this news at a gaming event called Summer Game Fest. You’ll be able to play it on your computer if you have a Windows PC, or on Xbox, PlayStation, and Amazon Luna gaming systems.

    Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Trailer

    On June 13, 2021, Ubisoft showed us a first look at a new game called “Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.” In the trailer, we saw how people and creatures on the planet Pandora live together peacefully.

    But then, the RDA (that’s the bad guys) showed up, and at the end of the trailer, there was a big fight in the sky between the humans and the Na’Vi (the native people of Pandora).

    The newest trailer for Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is the first video shown to the world during Ubisoft Forward 2023. It showed us more of how the game is played and, most importantly, it gave us an idea of what the game will be about when it comes out.

    Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Story Trailer

    The Avatar game, based on the movies by James Cameron, got a new story trailer at Sony’s State of Play event in September. In the trailer, you see the game from the perspective of the blue Na’vi characters.

    They’re jumping off high places, fighting against the RDA’s big robots, and doing cool stuff. This new video gives us a better look at the game made by Ubisoft. People say it’s like the Far Cry game, but it’s set in the world of Pandora.

    In a new article on the PlayStation Blog, they explain more about what’s happening in the video. The main character in the game belongs to a group called the Sarentu clan.

    They had to go to sleep in frozen pods after a big fight called the Battle of the Hallelujah Mountains, which happened in the first movie. Now, after 15 years, you wake up, but things have changed so much that your own home feels unfamiliar.

    As you explore Pandora, you’ll encounter different groups of Na’vi, like the weavers called Aranahe and the Zeswa novads. Ubisoft has said that in the upcoming game, you’ll get to ride ikrans and direhorses. You can read our guide on how to delete unused Ubisoft accounts and keep your game collection safe.

  • Unicorn Overlord Release Date, Platforms, Trailer, Gameplay, and Pre-Order

    Unicorn Overlord Release Date, Platforms, Trailer, Gameplay, and Pre-Order

    Vanillaware might win the award for the most confusing game title instead of Square Enix. They just announced a new game called “Unicorn Overlord” during the September 2023 Nintendo Direct.

    This game is made by experienced developers known for their beautiful hand-drawn art, but it’s a different kind of game than what they usually make.

    If you’re curious about this game, you won’t have to wait too long to play it because it’s coming out soon. In the meantime, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about it, including why it has such a strange name.

    Unicorn Overlord Release Date and Platforms

    According to the announcement trailer, Unicorn Overlord will be released on March 8, 2024. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.

    Unicorn Overlord Release Date

    Unicorn Overlord Trailer

    Sure, and just like other games made by Vanillaware, this one looks really beautiful. The trailer shows a bit of the story in Unicorn Overlord. It’s about a prince who lost his kingdom and has a special ring called the Ring of the Unicorn.

    We don’t know all the details about the story yet, but it’s about the prince trying to defeat a bad ruler and get his kingdom back. We don’t see exactly how the game will be played, but the video gives us some hints. You can watch a new version of Super Mario RPG on Nintendo Switch. Take a look at the trailer!

    Unicorn Overlord Gameplay

    Unicorn Overlord is a kind of video game where you make strategic decisions. But it’s not exactly like other games in this category, such as Tactics Ogre or Triangle Strategy.

    In this game, when you fight with enemies, it’s a bit different. Instead of taking turns, your characters move around on a map in real-time, like in Square Enix’s Diofield Chronicle. But when they meet an enemy, it switches to a screen where they fight, which is similar to the battles in Fire Emblem.

    Also, on the map, each character you control actually represents a small group of characters. So when they fight, it’s not just one person against another; it’s a whole bunch of characters on each side.

    From the trailer, we can see that you’ll need to control many soldiers and try to take over the enemy’s land while also defending your own. You can also play with others online, as shown in a quick part of the trailer.

    When you’re not fighting, you can make friends with more than 60 people and creatures in the game. There are interesting places on the map, like towns, where you can chat with other characters and probably get some missions to do.

    Unicorn Overlord seems to have a lot of story stuff in it because the company Atlus is already showing a bunch of scenes that tell the story. In the trailer, we saw a short part where you have to play a mining game. This means you’ll have to gather things like rocks or gems to make your tools better or maybe use them for something else.

    Unicorn Overlord Pre-Order Details

    You can’t pre-order Unicorn Overlord yet, but Atlus has given us some information about it. When you can order it, you’ll get some extra information if you pre-order. You can put symbols from other games made by Vanillaware on your army’s flag.

    Also, there will be a special version of the game with a music CD, a big art book, and a card game based on Unicorn Overlord. But you’ll have to wait a bit for that one.

  • GTA 6 File Size, 400 Hours of Gameplay and Cost

    GTA 6 File Size, 400 Hours of Gameplay and Cost

    Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is one of the most popular and successful video game franchises in history. The latest installment, GTA 5, was released in 2013 and has sold over 150 million copies worldwide. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the next game in the series, GTA 6, which is rumored to be in development by Rockstar Games.

    However, a recent leak has revealed some shocking details about the file size and gameplay length of GTA 6, which could pose a serious challenge for gamers who want to play it.

    What is the File Size of GTA 6?

    According to a tweet shared by GTA 6 News, a leaker on the franchise claims that the next mainline installment of GTA will demand a whopping 750GB of space on release day. This is almost five times the size of GTA 5, which requires around 150GB of space on current-gen consoles.

    The leaker also says that GTA 6 will provide 400 hours of gameplay for players, which is more than double the amount of GTA 5, which had around 170 hours of gameplay.

    A tweet shared by GTA 6 News, GTA 6 might take up a lot of space on your device, about 750 GB:

    Why Are People Saying That GTA 6 Will Cost $150?

    The rumor that GTA 6 will have a $150 price tag originated from a tweet by Niche Gamer, a gaming news website, on September 5, 2023. The tweet claimed that GTA 6 is rumored to cost $150 and may have cost Rockstar over $2 billion to make. The tweet also included a link to an article on their website, which did not provide any source or evidence for these claims.

    Niche Gamer on Twitter said that GTA 6 could cost $150. This is where the rumor started:

    The tweet quickly went viral, with over 5 million views and thousands of comments and retweets. Many people expressed their disbelief and outrage at the possibility of paying such a high price for a video game, while others joked about it or questioned the credibility of Niche Gamer. Some websites reported on the rumor as well, but most of them did not verify its validity or origin.

    Why is GTA 6 So Big?

    The reason behind the massive file size of GTA 6 is not clear, but it could be due to several factors. One possible reason is that GTA 6 will feature a much larger and more detailed open world than GTA 5, which already had a huge map that spanned three cities and several rural areas.

    Some rumors have suggested that GTA 6 will take us back to the iconic Miami-inspired location of Vice City, as well as some regions of South America. Another possible reason is that GTA 6 will have more content and features than GTA 5, such as more missions, activities, vehicles, weapons, customization options, and online modes.

    A third possible reason is that GTA 6 will have higher graphics quality and performance than GTA 5, which already looks stunning on current-gen consoles. GTA 6 could take advantage of the advanced hardware and software capabilities of the next-gen consoles, such as ray tracing, dynamic lighting, realistic physics, and faster loading times.

    How Can Gamers Play GTA 6?

    The huge file size of GTA 6 could pose a serious problem for gamers who want to play it on their consoles or PCs. For example, the PS5 is advertised as having an 825GB SSD internal hard drive, but 158GB is automatically reserved for system files, leaving just 667.GB for players to use for games.

    This means that PS5 players would need some kind of extra storage device to even run GTA 6, which exceeds their available space by over 80GB. The same problem applies to Xbox Series X players, who have an internal hard drive of 1TB SSD, with 198GB reserved for system files, leaving 802GB for players.

    Even though this is enough to install GTA 6, it would not leave much room for other games or updates. PC players would also need a lot of space on their hard drives or SSDs to play GTA 6, as well as a powerful processor and graphics card to run it smoothly.

    The only way around this potential storage issue would be to buy additional SSD internal storage for PS5 and SSD expansion cards for Xbox Series X|S. However, these are not cheap options and could cost gamers a lot of money.

    Another option would be to stream GTA 6 from cloud gaming services such as Google Stadia or Amazon Luna, which do not require any downloads or installations. However, these services are not widely available or reliable yet and could have issues with latency or quality.

    When Will GTA 6 Be Released?

    The release date of GTA 6 is still unknown and has not been officially announced by Rockstar Games. The developer has only confirmed that it is working on GTA 6 back in February 2022, but has not given any details or updates since then.

    Some fans have speculated that GTA 6 could be released in late 2023 or early 2024, based on the gap between previous GTA games and the current state of development.

    However, this is just a guess and could change depending on various factors such as delays, changes, or leaks. GTA fans have been waiting for almost a decade for the next game in the series and are eager to see what Rockstar Games has in store for them.

    However, they might have to wait even longer and pay more money to play it if the recent leak about the file size and gameplay length of GTA 6 is true. Hopefully, Rockstar Games will reveal more information about GTA 6 soon and address the concerns of the fans.

  • Super Mario RPG New Gameplay Trailer Reveals New Action Commands, Triple Attacks

    Super Mario RPG New Gameplay Trailer Reveals New Action Commands, Triple Attacks

    Yesterday, Nintendo shared a new trailer for their upcoming remake of Super Mario RPG, a game that’s coming out in just a few months. Earlier this year, Nintendo said they were going to make a new version of this classic Mario game that originally came out on the Super Nintendo in 1996.

    Now, Nintendo has given us a better look at what’s changed in this remake, with some new and improved game features. In the new Super Mario RPG game for the Nintendo Switch, things will be a bit different from the old one.

    Now, when you press buttons at just the right time during a fight, your attacks will hurt more kinds of bad guys. Also, there’s a special meter thing in the game that lets you do super-strong attacks called “Triple Attacks.”

    These super moves do way more damage than regular attacks, and they change depending on which characters you’re using on your team during the fight. In the new Super Mario RPG trailer, there’s something really cool we’ve learned about the game’s bosses.

    After you finish playing the game, you can go back and fight the bosses you’ve already beaten. But this time, they’ll be much tougher. So, if you want a real challenge in Super Mario RPG, you’ll find it after you finish the main game. Below you can check the trailer:

    Super Mario RPG Release Date for Switch

    Super Mario RPG Remake will come out on November 17, 2023. That’s pretty close to another exciting game called Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which will be the first 2D Super Mario game in over 10 years and will be released in October.

    You can only play the Super Mario RPG Remake on Nintendo Switch consoles. But since it’s a big remake for Mario fans, there’s a good chance that the original Super Mario RPG game for the SNES might also be added to the Nintendo Switch Online SNES library when the new game comes out.

    Alternatively, you can buy the special gold version of the game for $99.99 or the ultimate version for $119.99. If you buy either of these before the game is officially released, you can start playing it early.

    Mortal Kombat 1 is coming out on Tuesday, September 19th, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC all over the world.

    But if you bought the fancy premium version of Mortal Kombat 1, you can start playing it earlier, on Thursday, September 14th, at 10 AM PDT / 12 PM CDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM BST. The folks at NetherRealm Studios confirmed this in a Steam post. If you got the regular version, you’ll have to wait until September 19th to play.

  • Assassin’s Creed Codename Red Release Date, Characters, Gameplay, and Features

    Assassin’s Creed Codename Red Release Date, Characters, Gameplay, and Features

    Assassin’s Creed Red is going to make a lot of fans happy because it’s taking us to ancient Japan, which people have wanted for a long time. It’s going to be a big and important game in the Assassin’s Creed series, but we might have to wait a bit before we can play it.

    Before Assassin’s Creed Red, there was another game called Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which is more about sneaking around. After that, we’re expecting Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, which is being made by the same team that made Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, a really cool game.

    We might get more information about these games on June 12 during Ubisoft Forward 2023. While we’re waiting, here’s everything you should know about Assassin’s Creed Red up until now.

    Assassin’s Creed Red

    Assassin’s Creed Japan is the upcoming big game from Ubisoft Quebec, the same company that made Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in 2020. The person in charge, Marc-Alexis Cote, who has worked on other great Assassin’s Creed games, says this new game (Codename Red) will be a really important one for Ubisoft. He’s even hinted that it’s going to shape the future of how they make open-world RPG games in the Assassin’s Creed series.

    Assassin’s Creed Codename Red Release Date

    Assassin’s Creed Red might come out around Christmas 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, but be careful because Ubisoft often delays their games. The good news is the game is already working, and we should get more information about it early next year.

    Assassin’s Creed Codename Red Characters

    Assassin’s Creed Red is a video game that’s a bit different from other Assassin’s Creed games. In this game, you can play as two characters: a male Samurai and a female Shinobi.

    The male Samurai character is like a tough fighter. He’s based on a real historical figure named Yasuke, who was the first African Samurai in Japan a long time ago.

    Yasuke was strong and used his muscles because he couldn’t carry weapons as a missionary. In the game, this Samurai Assassin will be strong and use heavy attacks. We don’t know who the female Shinobi is based on in real life, but she will be very agile and sneaky compared to the Samurai.

    One important thing to know is that both characters will be very different from each other. They will have different abilities and use different weapons to make them unique.

    Assassin’s Creed Codename Red Gameplay

    As per Vice President Executive Producer Marc-Alexis Cote, Codename Red will happen in old Japan, like when samurai and ninjas were around. In the game, you will experience a “very powerful shinobi fantasy.”. The game will be like the newer Action RPG games.

    Assassin’s Creed Codename Red Trailer

    So far, we got just one trailer for a game called Assassin’s Creed Codename Red. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t tell us much about what’s inside the game, except that it’s set in Japan, which is something fans were looking forward to.

    In the video, we see the main character on top of a building. They have a hidden blade, and suddenly, a big cloud of black smoke appears, and the video ends. The game is called “Assassin’s Creed Codename Red,” but we don’t know when it will come out or what game consoles it will be available on.

    The people in the community tried really hard to understand the trailer and find clues about where and who the story is about. But the trailer was very short and didn’t have much information, so we shouldn’t believe everything we think we know.

    Some things they wondered about were the buildings in the background. They noticed that the buildings had stones at the bottom, which was common in Japan during the 16th-century Sengoku period. They also noticed the main character had things like a grappling hook and kunai blades with them.

    Assassin’s Creed Codename Red Features

    Earlier this year, Insider Gaming found out some major features of the new Assassin’s Creed Red game. It will borrow some ideas from the Splinter Cell games.

    For example, in Assassin’s Creed Red, you can hide in shadows and put out torches to stay hidden, kind of like how you can shoot out lights in Splinter Cell. You can also pick up and move enemy bodies to hide them.

    Another cool feature in Assassin’s Creed Red is that you can break things in the game like you would in real life. For example, you can slash and break open screen doors. It’s not as extreme as the destruction you see in Battlefield games, but it adds an extra element of fun to Assassin’s Creed Red that players will like.

  • Nintendo May Announce New Donkey Kong Game in September

    Nintendo May Announce New Donkey Kong Game in September

    There’s some news that Nintendo might tell us about a new Donkey Kong game in September 2023. People thought there might not be a Nintendo event in September because they had one about Super Mario Bros. in August. But some trustworthy sources still say there could be a Nintendo event in September.

    Some people are saying that there might be a new Nintendo Direct event next week. Because of this, there are lots of rumors and secrets going around the internet about what might be in the event.

    But, it’s important for Nintendo fans to be cautious and not get too excited about these rumors. Nintendo hasn’t even said for sure that there will be a Direct in September 2023, and they haven’t told us what games they’ll show if it happens. So, it’s best to wait for Nintendo to give us the real information.

    A person known for sharing secret Nintendo information, Leaker Pyoro, is dropping hints about what could be shown at the September 2023 Nintendo event. They posted a short animated picture of Donkey Kong from The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

    A popular Twitter Fortnite leaker named Shiina commented, “LETS GOOOOO.” Another person replied, “Donkey kong in fortnite? Some kind of roll being added? New skin?”

    This suggests that there might be news about a Donkey Kong game in the event. People have been talking about a new Donkey Kong game for a while, so it’s not crazy to think that it might be announced at the event, especially if it’s meant for the Nintendo Switch and not their new console.

    Before, some people who shared secret information said that Nintendo was working on two new games: one about Donkey Kong and another one in 2D with Mario. They also said that Nintendo wanted to make Donkey Kong more popular and even built a Donkey Kong area in Super Nintendo World.

    Now, Nintendo has officially told us about the 2D Mario game and the Donkey Kong area at Super Nintendo World. So, it seems likely that they will soon announce a new Donkey Kong game too.

    Sure, it’s possible that what they reveal about Donkey Kong at the September 2023 Nintendo Direct might not be what we expect. There are still some Donkey Kong games that aren’t available on Nintendo Switch Online, so maybe they’ll add those.

    But they might also surprise us with both old and new Donkey Kong games because there have been rumors that Nintendo wants to make Donkey Kong more popular again. Meanwhile, Pyoro has hinted that something new might be revealed in the next Nintendo Direct.

    Some people believe it could be a new Donkey Kong game, while others think it might be F-Zero or even Metroid Prime 4. We won’t know for sure until the next Nintendo Direct happens, so fans will have to be patient and see what actually gets announced.
