Assassin's Creed Mirage, the 13th major installment in Ubisoft's franchise, is nearly upon us. Mirage will debut on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC on Oct. 5, a full week earlier than originally planned . But these days, it can be tough to figure out what that means exactly in terms of when you'll be able to start playing.

Developer StickyLock has announced its new free-to-play multiplayer first-person shooter, Histera. Its unique hook is that its maps will change unpredictably mid-match, forcing players who want to succeed to stay light on their toes. It's due out on PC (via Steam) in 2024, but a free playable demo will be available on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest, from October 9-16. The name of the unpredictable space-time oddity causing these map changes to Histera's sci-fi world is called the Glitch, and "before they know it, players will be rushing through humid prehistoric jungles, jumping over modern ruins in a war-torn city or hiding in the shadows of futuristic skyscrapers," StickyLock told IGN. "The dynamics of the match can change at any given moment, though with an arsenal of weapons from different eras at their disposal, players have enough opportunity to prepare themselves for anything on the ever-changing battlefield!" StickyLock describes Histera as a ...

With Halloween just around the corner, now is the perfect time for a spooky murder mystery. Bad Blood is a new project that aims to put an interactive spin on the murder mystery format. It's a card game that's accompanied by both an illustrated journal and a comic book that flesh out the game's plot and characters. With the crowdfunding campaign for Bad Blood now live on Kickstarter, we've got a closer look at the game and its companion books. Check out the slideshow gallery below to see the gorgeous artwork fueling this tale of murder and intrigue in a 1920's speakeasy: Bad Blood tells the story of Joseph Field, a journalist drawn into a glamorous speakeasy called The Broken Promise and who investigates the murder of a woman named Dee Dumas. The game is created by Kelly McMahon (the mind behind 2021's Imperium), who also provides the art deco-style illustrations for the cards and the companion journal. While the cards can be used as a traditional playing ...

Assassin’s Creed Mirage releases for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on October 5 -- a full week earlier than previous planned.
