Assassin’s Creed Mirage gets a new gameplay trailer, October release date

Assassin’s Creed Mirage got a new gameplay trailer during today’s PlayStation Showcase. Ubisoft’s next open-world game will launch on October 12, and preorders for the upcoming game are now open.

Assassin's Creed Mirage Official Gameplay Trailer

We previously saw a glimpse of the game during a Ubisoft showcase last year. It’s the next mainline installment of the series, though several spinoff games are currently in development alongside it. We now know when it’ll launch and exactly what it’ll look like.

The trailer didn’t include too many surprises — it looks like a traditional Assassin’s Creed game. The clip showed its hero, Basim, jumping around ancient 19th-century Baghdad. We saw some of the usual gameplay beats we’ve come to expect from the series, as he parkours around buildings and stabs enemies. As always, the main character is able to pickpocket, hide on benches in plain sight, sneak across tightropes, and parkour.

Basim was previously revealed to Assassin’s Creed fans in the previous entry, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Mirage, however, gives us a glimpse at his life before those events ever occurred.

While the new preview isn’t mind-blowing, it does show that this latest entry in the franchise seems to be going back to the days of early Assassin’s Creed. It makes stealth one of the main focuses of the game, while mixing it with the open-world exploration of more modern entries. Even the movement and smaller moments of the trailer, such as the parkouring across rooftops, cause Ezio and Altair to jump to mind.

Assassins Creed Mirage launches on October 12 for PlayStation4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

The Sims 5: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more
sims 4 for rent expansion pack shared living the 6

It's time to brush up on your Simlish if it's rusty because the long-awaited The Sims 5, aka Project Rene, is officially on the way. This has been the longest gap between main entries since the series began, and while we did get tons of expansions for The Sims 4 to hold us over, plus the change to it becoming free to play, we're more than ready for a new entry. Each time a new game in the franchise comes out, die-hard fans always need to have a bit of skepticism about what features will be there -- both new and returning. Again, the last entry eventually got to a great spot, but it certainly wasn't there at launch. We can't answer all your questions yet, but here's everything we know about The Sims 5.
Release date speculation

Still referred to by the code name Project Rene, The Sims 5 (which we will call it until the official title is revealed) does not have a release window as of now. Developer Maxis did state it was working on it in October 2022 at the Behind the Sims Summit presentation. The only clue we got there was this statement from Lyndsay Pearson, franchise creative vice president: "Over the next couple of years, we'll continue sharing updates with all of you on Project Rene." Based on that, we can speculate that The Sims 5 won't come before 2025 at the earliest.

2XKO: release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more
Two characters pose in 2XKO key art.

After spending years under the working title of Project L, Riot Games' expansion into the fighting game genre has officially been dubbed 2XKO. Hailing from the makers of the massively popular League of Legends, this fighter will feature a cast pulled right from that MOBA, but now using far different mechanics. This genre was once notorious for how hard it was for newcomers to get into, but recent examples like Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 have proven that it is possible to make the genre accessible to more players. Considering the popularity of the source material here, and the fact that it will be free to play, we expect a lot of players who normally don't touch fighters to at least be curious. Whoever you are, let's start at round one and go over everything we know so far about 2XKO.
Release date window

Along with the reveal of the title's full name, we also learned that 2XKO is set to arrive sometime in 2025. That leaves a lot of room, so odds are the team is giving itself plenty of time to iron out any issues.

Lumiose City in Pokémon Z-A

On Pokemon Day 2024, we were treated to a sneak peek at a second entry in the Legends series, Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Promising to be an ambitious new adventure in the world of Pokemon, a lot of questions sprung up after the announcement. So far, we still have more questions than answers, but some careful investigation and digging have given us a better understanding of what's in store with this title. It may not be the next full-generation title, but there's a lot to be excited about with this title, so let's dive into everything we know about it thus far.
Release date window

Pokémon Legends: Z-A has a release window of 2025, but that's all we know for now. The only other little detail given is that it will be a simultaneous worldwide release, which we would've expected anyway.
