There have been multiple, pervasive rumours that the next Assassin’s Creed game would feature Vikings, and would be called Ragnarok. While initial screens of the game were proven false, they’re rumours that just won’t go away. Hints in The Division 2, and suggestions by Kotaku (which align with some things we’ve heard) suggest that we’ll soon be playing as Vikings …
In case you hadn’t noticed, Rainbow Six Siege’s fourth season of its incredibly successful four years in the business launched yesterday. Called Shifting Tides, it’s been live on the Test Servers for a while (even giving us a glimpse of the local servers in their testing phase). Now Shifting Tides is live proper on all platforms.

Next year sees two new consoles arrive to herald in the next generation of gaming: Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s next Xbox which is currently operating under the codename of Project Scarlett.
Let it never be said that Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is a game without ideas. Great ideas, terrible ideas, and even some great ideas implemented terribly, I’ve seen them all thus far in the 20 or so hours I’ve spent with this latest entry in Ubisoft’s tactical military shooter franchise. Then there are ideas borrowed from other games only half of which seem to actually belong here.
