Naturally, this has fans speculating wildly about what kind of features it will include and how it will be better than Bethesda's current offerings. However, while it would be great to see TES6 include the wealth of improvements seen across other triple-A titles, there is one area it needs to nail above all else. View the full article

The Monk is one of the more challenging classes to select as a multiclass complement in Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s a class that prefers having no armor, and only a handful of weapons actively work to benefit from its open-hand playstyle. However, there are a few choices you can meld together with it. A few classes have exceptional synergies with unarmed strikes and Monk in general, which make them very enticing. It all comes down to the type of character you want to play, what your party needs while you’re playing, and how you’re hoping to synergize with your companions. Thankfully, you can always speak with Withers if you want to reconsider your choices. These are some of the best multiclass options for Monk in Baldur’s Gate 3. View the full article
Sonic x Shadow Generations is a remake of Sonic Generations. With it, ***** has added a bunch of new modes, content, and improvements to the original game, as well as some more subtle changes. It’s hard to tell what has been added or taken away from the original or changed if you don’t pay attention to some specific activites, cutscenes, and other things. Most of the changes are actually pretty small outside of the big new mode and a few additional collectibles to find in levels. View the full article
The team behind Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has been disbanded, according to a report from French media outlet Origami. In a video posted today in French (for which IGN has independently verified a translation posted on ResetEra), Origami reports that the team behind The Lost Crown was disbanded despite seemingly positive reports from developers on their experiences working on the game. Per a tweet by Gauthier Andres: "I've heard and read 'It was the best game production in my entire life' three or four times in a single weekend while getting information on the game's development. One after the other I was told it was seen as a beacon of hope to create a safe space for people that were burnt out by Beyond Good & Evil 2. The team has been disbanded by Ubisoft." J'ai entendu ou lu "la meilleure prod' de ma vie" trois ou quatre fois en un week-end à propos du développement de PoP The Lost Crown. Tour à tour espoir d'une autre manière de créer et zone de réhabilitation pour gens crâmés par BGE2, l'équipe a été dissoute par Ubisoft. [Hidden Content] — Gautoz (@gautoz) October 22, 2024 The video also states that the game's fate was effectively decided just a few weeks after its release. The core game development team reportedly fought to get a sequel or at least more expansions beyond the single "Mask of Darkness" expansion, but Ubisoft allegedly needed more help on other projects that had better sales potential. Per the report, The Lost Crown did not meet Ubisoft's sales expectations, and executives expressed concerns that a sequel would cannibalize long-term sales of the first game. It is unclear from the report exactly what the status of the members of the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown team is at this time. The game was developed at Ubisoft Montpellier, which employs hundreds of individuals and was last known to be working on the infinitely-in-limbo Beyond Good and Evil 2. It's likely that team members were, as was suggested by the report, moved onto other projects such as that, but IGN has reached out to Ubisoft for further clarity. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown's reported fate, if true, is a tragic one given how excellent the game is. We gave it an 8/10 in our review, saying it "captures not only what made games such as The Sands of Time so good, but it irons out a lot of the little issues that plagued the 3D games in this series by opting for a 2D perspective – and owning it."
