*********’s Creed Unity, Ubisoft’s 2024 open-world stealth action game, has seen an increase in player numbers since the Paris Olympics started on July 26.

As spotted by PCGamesN, Unity‘s player population and sales have seen a bump on Steam Charts since the Olympics started. On July 26, Unity had 729 players, but that number has steadily risen since and it’s reached a 24-hour peak player count of 2,219 (as of Aug. 2) View the full article

Act fast and you can get a huge and high resolution 34-inch gaming monitor for just $229.99 in this Samsung gaming monitor deal. With a massive 39% drop in its price this is the cheapest this screen has ever been, making it a great way to upgrade your screen real estate on a budget. The 34-inch ultrawide format and resolution of this Samsung screen is one of our favorite screen sizes and a regular feature on our best gaming monitor guide. It ideally balances an extra widescreen view that's great for movies and cinematic games - as well as multi-tasking on your desktop - but isn't so wide that it makes the screen too big of a poor fit for most game interfaces, as can be the case with really huge displays like the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G9 G95SC.

Image: Squid Shock Studios Humble Games “restructured” and reportedly ***** off its 36-person team last week. The publisher, which is part of the IGN-owned Humble Bundle, started helping developers release games in 2017 and published notable games like Slay the Spire and Signalis. The resulting fallout from the layoffs has left developers working with the publisher uncertain about many plans for future games, leaving their console ports in jeopardy. Amir Fassihi, studio director of ***** Mage, the team behind the in-development Wizard of Legend 2, is worried that the restructuring could impact their project. “We do not want to make any changes,” Fassihi tells The Verge. “However, we’re unsure what changes will be forced on us because everyone in the publisher we...

Are you sitting down? Good. Avowed is reportedly set to be delayed into early 2025, but if it's any consolation, the main reason being cited for the apparent pushback is a ******* to give the RPG more "breathing room" release-wise, by pushing it out of a busy window for Xbox Game Pass. This is according to The Verge, which writes that Obsidian's big fantasy thing is "in good shape". So why would it be delayed? Well, a contributing factor looks to be another recent delay to a game slated to hit Microsoft's subscription service. In the newsletter which mentions this apparent delay, Tom Warren cites Xbox as feeling that its Game Pass offerings heading into the holidays that'll see 2024 turn to 2025 are pretty set without having to throw Avowed into the mix and seemigly risk limiting its potential to catch on big time.

You ask me, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a downright gaming injustice. Like Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire or Tyranny (Obsidian has form for these), it's a game that got a lot of things very right that just never made much of a splash. I mean, don't get me wrong, Mankind Divided sold millions of copies, but apparently not enough for anyone to bother concluding the trilogy, and it's not one a lot of people talk about these days. Why? A ***********. A *********** against videogames... Read more.View the full article

Toonsouls, which you can find on Steam here, doesn’t appear to screenshot especially well. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of those perpetually disgruntled ghosts and charming goofskulls, but I might not be writing about the platform game at all if I hadn’t seen it in motion, where the vision comes together a lot more. The Cuphead influence runneth so overly that it feels trite to even point it out, and I do think maybe opting for different music would have served it far better in this case, but you can’t deny that Ghosts n’ Goblins lance throw.

In the previous League of Legends Patch 14.14, a new champion Aurora was added. She was doing fine after her launch, but Riot Games still nerfed her. Now she’s…better than ever.

In a Reddit discussion on Aug. 1, players discussed Aurora’s current state, with some believing she’s too strong for the current meta despite Patch 14.15 nerfs and others thinking Riot is prioritizing “fun over fair” with Aurora’s latest tweaks.
