News - Assassin’s Creed Creator Reveals New Witch Game, Coming Before AC’s Witch
Patrice Desilet, the creator of Assassin's Creed, has announced 1666 Amsterdam at Summer Game Fest. It's his first game in seven years.
1666 Amsterdam is a third-person, dark, story-led action-adventure where you play as Noa the Collector, who has the power of witchcraft to investigate demonic entities during the day before facing them at night.
Interestingly, this means the Assassin's Creed creator has a witch game going head-to-head with Assassin's Creed Hexe, also a witch-focused game.
While there is currently no release window confirmed for 1666 Amsterdam, you will get to play it before Ubisoft's upcoming title, as Panache Digital Games has also dropped a prologue demo of the game on Steam and Epic Games Store, which offers around 30 minutes of gameplay.
The studio's last game was Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, originally planned as an episodic survival game, though the studio lacked the funds to fulfil that vision.

News - 33-Player Co-Op Raider, 33 Immortals, Will Finally Release In Full Soon
33 Immortals has been available via early access for some time, but if you've been itching to experience the full game, you needn't wait much longer. Announced as part of Summer Game Fest and Day of the Devs, 33 Immortals' 1.0 release arrives on June 10.
That date applies to both the PC versions--across both Steam and Epic Games Store--as well as the Xbox Series X|S version. It existed on Xbox previous as part of the Xbox Game Preview program, with functions similarly to Steam Early Access.
"After over a year of community feedback and optimization during early access, [33 Immortals] 1.0 introduces the complete 33 Immortals experience, including all three fully playable worlds, the long-awaited final-boss encounter, and a variety of new content and improvements throughout the game," Thunder Lotus said in the official announcement.
33 Immortals is a very different game from Thunder Lotus' previous release, Spiritfarer, which was decidedly less violent. In 33 Immortals, you and 32 others battle dangerous bosses, essentially distilling the MMO-raid experience down to just the best moments.
News - God Of War: Laufey Dev Responds To Pizza Company’s Dumb Tweet About New Game
God of War developer Santa Monica Studio has responded to a social media post from Domino's Pizza after the pizza chain's UK account joked about the newly announced God of War: Laufey for being a God of War game without Kratos.
The post from Domino's Pizza UK said, "God of War game with no Kratos = Pepperoni Passion with no pepperoni." The Domino's Pizza UK post was criticized for making fun of the game just because it doesn't feature Kratos, with many replies pointing out the reports of how poorly Domino's is known to treat its workers and how mediocre at best its pizza is.
Santa Monica Studio responded by saying, "ok thanks for the feedback, dominos pizza corporate account."
The Domino's Pizza UK account is known for its spicy posts, and this was just the latest example as the account purposefully posting something hyperbolic and weird to garner attention. It worked, but now people are dunking on Domino's even more than before.
God of War: Laufey tells the story of Fey, the wife of Kratos and mother of Atreus. She died, but lives on in the afterlife of the gods--the Everywhen. The events of the new game are happening concurrently with the story from the 2018 God of War. The game also involves a gelatinous cube played by Jack Quaid.
News - Monopoly Go Is Crossing Over With The Simpsons For A Battle Of The Billionair
A new battle of the billionaires kicks off this week in Monopoly Go, as the game's mustachioed mascot takes on Springfield's sun-blocking tyrant from The Simpsons, Mr. Burns. Scopely has announced a Simpsons crossover in Monopoly Go, which has been created in partnership with the team behind the long-running animated series. Starting June 3 and continuing through July 29, the event will see iconic Springfield locations given a Monopoly Go makeover.
To give you an idea of just how big a deal the crossover is, People Magazine has even produced two covers starring the fictional billionaires, and GameSpot can exclusively reveal them. Both covers feature a few cheeky references to the duo, their wealth, and their attempts to pass themselves off as a regular person who just so happens to have an obscene amount of wealth--not too far removed from our current reality:
If you're a magazine collector and you want to add these to your library, these issues of People Magazine will hit newsstands on June 5. Subscribers should expect to see them in their mailbox starting today.
Players can also expect to see the entire Simpsons family and Mr. Burns in the game, alongside other fan-favorite characters. Some of the new gameplay twists include hidden details, deep-cut references, and Easter eggs. Find yourself in jail, and you can even bribe Chief Wiggum to get out of the joint early.
"Working closely with The Simpsons creative team, our talented game-makers at Scopely set out to do much more than simply place Springfield inside the game; we wanted to build an entirely new shared universe where these iconic characters, stories, and gameplay experiences could cross over," said Victor Diaz-Roig, president of games at Scopely. "Every part of the season was designed with our Tycoons in mind, introducing fresh ways to play the game they love, while opening the doors for Simpsons fans to step into Monopoly Go for the very first time."
Scopely says that Monopoly Go will feature interconnected gameplay and original Simpsons narratives unfolding across seasonal maps, animated sequences, and sets. Narrative-driven episodes are at the heart of the crossover, as Simpsons-inspired storylines will kick off every two weeks inside of Monopoly Go. From Homer-triggered nuclear meltdowns to Bart and Lisa disappearing inside Krustyland, each episode will be accompanied by collectibles, mini-games, and more than 50 Simpsons-themed Chance Cards.
The crossover will start with the debut of a Simpsons short, written and produced by The Simpsons team. The short sets the stage for the collaboration's narrative, as it sees Mr. Monopoly (voiced by Will Ferrell) go head-to-head with Mr. Burns, in a rivalry that has been brewing for decades. This isn't the first time that The Simpsons have headlined a mobile game--remember The Simpsons: Tapped Out?-- and last year, Springfield's favorite family took over Fortnite for an entire season.

News - Wolverine Gameplay Demo Violence Makes It Look Like Mortal Kombat
State of Play made its return today, and just as Sony promised, it kicked things off with a fresh--and brutal--look at Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac.
Game director Marcus Smith outlined the story, which centers on Wolverine attempting to save a group of kidnapped mutants from an extremist group called the Reavers. From there, we saw a lengthy chunk of gameplay as Wolverine infiltrated, and then eviscerated, a sprawling camp of bad guys.
After seeing Leech being loaded into a truck, Wolverine slices through a steel beam to create a chain reaction that brings down a shipping container on the villains, and then he's joined by Jean Grey, who helps hold the Reavers in place while Wolverine does what he does best. At what point she even telekinesis-throws a bad guy into his claws. It's pretty gnarly!
The truck starts to get away, so Wolverine gives chase in a nearby motorcycle, using it to jump atop the moving caravan and leap from truck to truck, playing pin cushion with the baddies. Frankly the last one should just see what he did to their friends and give up, but they never do.
One notable element throughout the trailer is that the Reavers seem to be augmented with cybernetic parts. Many of them have prosthetic limbs and the big-bad leading the caravan has cyborg arms that can go hand-to-hand with Wolverine's claws.
The final sizzle reel teased lots of other characters like Omega Red, Mystique, Sabretooth, and Ogun.
An update on the PlayStation Blog noted that Logan can hit a higher tier level in his Rage meter than we saw in the demo, which creates a visual effect inspired by the Black, White, and Blood series of Marvel comics. It also noted that Wolverine will feature a large array of accessibility options.
As the new gameplay showed, Insomniac is aiming to deliver a mature and darker experience when compared to its work on the Spider-Man games. Wolverine isn't exactly known for treating his enemies with kid gloves, and this new footage highlighted how Marvel's famous mutant will hack and slash his way through the opposition.
At the same time, the developer has also teased that it'll be digging deep into the core of Logan and what makes him tick. Australian actor Liam McIntyre provides the voice and motion-capture acting of the character, and he said that his performance will reveal the "essence" of the character.
Marvel's Wolverine launches on September 15 for PS5.
