When it comes to video games, one of the most popular types of games today is the open-world type of video game. Called open-world because the game offers the freedom to explore the world. Generally, maps or maps in open-world games have a large and wide world.

Launched on Sept. 9, the action-shooting game was one of the highly anticipated titles in Nintendo’s line-up this year.

The title’s success eased fears about an industry slowdown after a pandemic-fueled boom that saw people spend more time at home playing games. Investors are also concerned about the impact of a potential recession on the video

After over a year of waiting and guessing, we’ve finally learned a little more about what Assassin’s Creed Infinity is. As part of today’s Ubisoft Forward Assassin’s Creed Showcase, it was said that Infinity is a “hub” that will link future Assassin’s Creed games together. But, after an in-depth interview with the project’s leader, Marc-Alexis Côté, IGN has learned much more about Infinity.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity will be a home for a variety of games of different genres and lengths. It will mix premium boxed games with paid-for and free content. There will be a multiplayer mode that will unite the franchise’s eras. And it will be the place where Assassin’s Creed’s modern-day story will now live.

But let’s start with Infinity’s core concept. It is not a video game, nor is it a replacement for traditional Assassin’s Creed games. It is a platform that will host both past and

A new Silent Hill title has been rated in Korea.

As first reported by Gematsu (opens in new tab) earlier today, Silent Hill: The Short Message has just been rated in Korea by the country’s national ratings board (opens in new tab). The game’s publisher might be listed as “Uniana,” but as Gematsu points out, this company regularly published Konami-developed games in Korea, including eFootball.

The new rating for Silent Hill: The Short Message doesn’t give away anything about the new project itself. There aren’t any plot, gameplay, or even other content warnings with the new rating, such as any use of violence, gore, or swearing. It’s not hard to imagine a Silent Hill game having any of the aforementioned content warnings.

‘The Short Message’ immediately conjures thoughts of a teaser, which is no doubt the hot topic of speculation doing the rounds on social media and forum sites

Russian authorities have been trying to sow the seeds of a propaganda effort at convincing residents of occupied territories that Ukraine is already divided, according to a new report from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

“Ukraine has already been divided,” the Russian occupiers said, according to the intelligence agency. “In the territory of the western regions, Polish zlotys were put into circulation, in most shops there are double price tags. There is nowhere to run from Russia. Ukraine is not what it used to be.”

The false information, which has been focused on Melitopol in Zaporizhzhia, according to the agency, is intended to inject doubt into residents of Ukraine nearly six months into the war, the intelligence agency said.

“The moves are at undermining the moral and psychological stability of the Ukrainian-minded population remaining in the city,” the agency said in a statement.
