"People generally have divided feelings on the Assassin’s Creed series. Some love it, some tolerate it, and some people just downright hate it. Regardless of your feelings on gameplay or story, Ubisoft did a painstakingly awesome job on rebuilding Renaissance Italy."- Skyliner
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
I seem to gain a lot of my knowledge from video games these days. It makes me think that my son will be using video games in history class.
I love the writers of AC and the history team that made me actually check if assassins were real god I love this game and the atmosphere
I agree, this game did more than any other that I can think of to add educational material into it's gameplay in a mostly seamless and interesting way!
It gave me an interest in Renaissance Italy and an appreciation of art and architecture!
While on the subject of cool educational things in gaming.... everytime I listen to music on my PS3 and have the Earth visualization going... it makes me think that I'd love it if they made a beefed up astronomy version.... so while your music was playing you had like a sort of artistic tour of space: planets, stars, quasars ect ect that just looked cool, but that also had a little explanation box (that could be toggled on and off) so that people could actually learn something about the universe we live in while listening to some good tunes!
But back on topic, the history wrapped up in Assassin's Creed was done in such an interesting way for me, that I enjoyed taking time out from assassinating people to just admire the view and read and learn some new things!
I learned a lot too .. about the history and stuff.
