Who would have guessed that stealthily scaling a building with a trusty hidden blade would become an annual tradition, but back in 2007, the exploits of Altair in Assassin’s Creed were practically revolutionary. Thirteen years later, Assassin’s Creed has developed into a franchise that transcends gaming, expanding into movies, novels, …

Following the announcement back in October, Maze Theory and BBC Studios have announced that their found phone game, Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins will release for iOS, Android and Steam on March 19th. While it’s easy to be sceptical of a ‘found phone’ Doctor Who game, it’s worth noting that …

Ubisoft Montreal has many years of experience working on the Assassin’s Creed franchise, but the studio isn’t known for taking small steps.

When Assassin’s Creed Valhalla first launched, I was happy to see that it did not include XP boosts among things players could buy with real money. However, a recent update to Valhalla’s in-game store has changed that, and players are now able to purchase a multiplier to the XP they …

As a long-running franchise, the Assassin’s Creed games all build on the entries before them.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a massive game that has so much more than just its incredible main story to enjoy. Strategic building, meaningful romance, hilarious and intriguing sidequests; the new game has it all. It also has a pretty nifty Dungeons & Dragons reference, though not by that name.  As …

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla offers a stunning open-world for players to live out those Viking fantasies in. It even houses some pretty stellar references, including a Dungeons & Dragons game. That being said, there is one aspect that is far from beauty and grace, and it’s these children that OH MY …

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla mixes up its RPG elements a bit in how it plays with the concept of a skill tree. Rather than give up the goods from the start, you reveal chunks of it from the fog as you go. I guess it technically adds a bit of mystery …
