In a break from tradition, Ubisoft have no plans for a second big Assassin's Creed: Shadows DLC expansion

Assassin's Creed Shadows probably won't get a second major DLC expansion on the scale of Claws of Awaji, Ubisoft's associate game director Simon Lemay-Comtois has revealed. It's a blow to fans who are accustomed to getting a couple of major expansions per Assassin's Creed, and a boon to people who haven't even played Shadows yet, let alone the 10-hour-long Claws of Awaji, and are getting dry heaves from FOMO. It's me, I am people. Read more

Epic CEO wants Valve and Steam to stop requiring devs to disclose generative AI usage

A couple of weeks after arguing that generative AI shouldn't be considered in videogame reviews, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney is calling for Steam and digital storefronts generally to stop requiring generative AI disclosures. Sweeney's argument is broadly that all videogames will use generative AI tools at some stage, so you and I might as well stop hearing about it. He thinks tagging things as made with generative AI is only necessary when there's a formal need to prove legal authorship, or help b

Paradox take the blame for Bloodines 2 not selling as planned, will "evaluate" how to do World of Darkness games going forwards

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 hasn't sold as well as publishers Paradox predicted. As such, the company have announced plans to write-down 355 million Swedish Krona (approximately £28 million/$37 million) of the game's development costs - essentially the financial way of saying something along the lines of 'oops, this isn't worth as much as we thought it was'.

"Essentially, War Sails is a large mod": Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord devs on delaying leaving port and why custom naval battles were a late addition

Earlier this year, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord's War Sails naval expansion had its release pushed back from June 17th to November 26th. You can give it a go right now if you fancy, so it obviously made that second date. Prior to the DLC dropping, I chatted with Bannerlord senior producer Falk Engel about what went into the decision to ditch the initial summer date, and why custom naval battles were only confirmed to be arriving with its launch quite late in the day.

Cyberpunk 2's dev team is set to double in size by the end of 2027, hopefully meaning its cyberfoundations'll be laid by then

Cyberpunk 2's dev team is set to grow substantially over the next couple of years, as CD Projekt ramp up development. While most of their ranks right now are on The Witcher 4, a game that's at least made some public cameos even if it's still sans release date, once 2027 rolls around, Cyberpunk 2 looks like it won't be too far behind. This info comes from the company's latest financial report, covering the time running from July 1st to September 30th this year. Read more

Valve block Steam game with queer art in Russia after state censor attacks it for “promoting non-traditional sexualities”

Valve have blocked card game Flick Solitaire from the Russian version of Steam, after federal censorship body Roskomnadzor contacted the platform holder to order its removal for "promoting non-traditional sexualities". In a letter, Valve have also reproached developers Flick Games for failing "to do your due diligence regarding where your game is allowed to be distributed, and to inform us of any territory where it cannot be". Flick Solitaire is still available in Russia via the iOS and Androi
