So Assassin’s Creed: Unity was so terrible that Ubisoft decided it would rather completely wash its hands of it than actually make the season pass DLC, and announced it would be compensating anyone who pre-purchased the pass with a free game. Good news for those pre-purchasers, you can now claim your free game (though I guess not the best news as I’m sure they would have preferred Assassin’s Creed: Unity content, or even a refund).

While the first thirty or so seconds of the trailer help set the stage, introducing the viewer to the Renaissance-era Italy setting of Assassin’s Creed 2, the real show doesn’t kick in until the electronica does. Imagine a very violent music video full of people being stabbed with very pointy objects, and that’s about what you’re going to get. The familiar elements from the first Assassin’s Creed seem to be back, as disenfranchised Florentine noble Ezio Auditore de Firenze creeps around Italy, swings from potted plants, and dives from buildings (into water, not hay – he seems to have learned how to swim).

How Assassin’s Creed Mirage will implement a peripheral like this is anyone’s guess, but it sounds painful. However, the suit itself is admittedly kind of cool thanks, in part, to its Assassin’s Creed-inspired style. If you want one for yourself, it looks like you’ll need to purchase it as part of a bundle, which comes with everything you need for the suit as well as a copy of Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

Ubisoft has had a pretty good 2012, thanks in no small part to its core gaming segment, where sales were up 60%, to €928 million euro ($1.1 billion). Assassin’s Creed 3 was a significant part of that sales bump, moving 12.5 million units, both digital and boxed. Looking to the future, Ubisoft has every hope for success for its next entrant in the franchise, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, but doesn’t want to oversell its latest title, so it’s aiming for “more conservative [sales] targets,” according to an investor call.

Looked for new codes! Tactical prowess and good positioning are essential qualities of any good soccer player, but without any skills under your belt, you won’t be of much help to your team. Since the game is strictly against pay-to-win models and you can’t buy your way to the top, you’ll need to put in the work on the pitch, score goals, and tip the scale in your team’s favor.

It’s Christmas Eve in Gotham City, and a young vigilante superhero is facing the biggest challenge of his career. The terrifying Black Mask has put a $50 million bounty on Batman’s head, bringing an onslaught of villains to the city, all of whom are hoping to be the one to kill the Bat. Of course, Batman’s not sitting around at Wayne Manor drinking eggnog; he’s actively looking for the Black Mask as every other fiend in the area looks for him.

There’s always room for a little fun, even when you’re dealing with the super-serious subject of mind-bogglingly rich people. Forbes, which puts together a list of the richest people in America each year, has also assembled a list of the richest people in fiction, which includes the likes of Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, and the dragon Smaug from The Hobbit. Forbes’ list draws from movies, books, comics, TV shows, cartoons, and even board games, and everyone on it is valued at $1 billion or more, with an average net worth of around $9 billion.

It’s no secret that Batman and Catwoman like each other; whether it’s in movies, TV shows, or comic books, there’s a spark between the two of them that’s impossible to deny. Batman: Arkham City isn’t about to buck the trend, and writer Paul Dini – who worked on Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond – says that there will be a lot of “heat” between them in the game.

Batarangs are the tool of a more subtle crime fighter. Not as clumsy or random as super-strength, the batarang needs a steady hand and a keen eye to use. But we’re not all billionaire playboys, so how do you make a batarang that is both affordable and stylish? Well, luckily for you, Instructables poster “spookylean” has you covered. His prototype batarang is made of plexiglass, held together with screws and magnets, and painted with metallic paint to make it look the part.

Now, it’s hard to imagine there being an Avengers movie without Strange in there somewhere. But that’s exactly what will happen when Avengers: Doomsday comes out in 2026. Unfortunately for the small army of Cumberbatch fangirls who still roam the internet, the movie will be a Strange-free zone. “Is that a spoiler? Fk it!” Cumberbatch told Variety in a new interview. He then explained what happened: scripts and stories had to be changed after the departure of Jonathan Majors, who played the villain Kang.

Several days ago, sharp-eyed viewers saw temporary Mass Effect 3 box art on the EA store that carried with it the purple “Better With Kinect” bar for games that use Microsoft’s magic little camera. Said art has, of course, since been removed (but you can see it here to the right). While neither BioWare nor EA have officially commented on the Kinect slip, Mass Effect 3 executive producer Casey Hudson wasn’t above commenting via Twitter: “Can’t comment on the Kinect rumors.

After lots of rumors and speculation – a lot of which turned out to be true – BioWare has confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will contain co-op multiplayer gameplay as well as the usual fighting of ancient robots and their minions in the single player campaign. Writing on the BioWare forums, community manager Chris Priestly said that Mass Effect 3’s co-op mission would run parallel to the main story and allow up to four friends to fight together to liberate territory from the clutches of the enemy.

Mass Effect 2 launched with a menu interface that included the Cerberus Network, which was more than a system for BioWare to let players know they could buy DLC. It also provided news updates about happenings in the Mass Effect universe, but according to the latest those updates will cease in a few weeks. The current Cerberus Network story says that daily postings will end on January 24, except for during three significant weeks.

It’s hard to glean too much of a person’s character from a minute and a half of of spliced-up video clips, but here’s what we can tell about Subject Zero, the latest potential member of Commander Shepard’s crew to be revealed by BioWare: She gets off on violence, talks like a half-drunken sailor, calls the shots in the sack and looks rather disturbingly like Lt. Ilia in a camo bodysuit.

How Old is Kawaki in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations When we first meet Kawaki in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations he is 14 years old. During the events of the manga and anime, he remains 14 years old for the entire duration, so he is just entering his teen years. For perspective, Boruto is 12 years old during the same time, so Kawaki can be considered as his older adoptive brother. The show makes it clear that he is older so there shouldn’t really be much confusion.
