Unlike Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey whose greatest obstacle was an enemy who could maths better than you, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is focusing more on power so as to avoid blocking story progression.

Our pals at Rockfish Games and Plan of Attack have dropped an entire 20 codes for the PC prototype build of Everspace 2 into my inbox, and I’m looking to share the love.

Everspace 2 is looking like a handsome return to the cosmos that haven’t been seen since the days of Freelancer and Wing Commander, ditching the rogue-like elements of the first game for a more focused RPG system of space combat.

New Assassin’s Creed, who dis? The last couple of years have been especially good for fans of Ubisoft’s premiere backstabbing showcase, with the likes of Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey revitalising the brand with a bold new direction and attitude. Because all good things come in three, there’s a good chance that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be the end of the current generation of Animus action, but it’ll be a final push on aging and hardware and bleeding edge next-gen devices that’ll be going out with a bang.

Clearly needing to do something with its cave of money, Riot looks to be expanding further into games development by acquiring new studios.

I guess the joke is that modern game design turns everything into an RPG, but this is a little ridiculous, right?

For the rest of the month you’ll be leveling up way faster thanks to Blizzard encouraging self-isolation in these times of pandemic.

If there’s two things that I love, it’s comic book characters decked out in their Galactus-smashing best and an endless quest to level up numbers with a satisfying ‘DING’ every time I grab a chunk of experience points from smashing stuff. Marvel Future Revolution is looking to the fresh scratching stick for that itch a few years after Marvel Heroes Omega was abandoned, combining RPG elements based on Netmarble’s Marvel Future Fight with a big upgrade.
