Geek News, News, PlayStation 5 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox Series X News

Today, Ubisoft announced an exclusive in-game event in collaboration with the Attack on Titan anime series launching tomorrow, November 25th, and running for 4 weeks until December 22nd. This event comes as part of an upcoming update available to all players, which also includes a free additional story content.

A strange encounter draws Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of forbidden rituals and monstrous transformations echo through the shadows. Guided by strangely garbed woman named Ada, they venture deep into the enigmatic Crystal Cave to rescue her friend from a mysterious cult. As strange experiments unfold and a monstruous enemy emerge, the duo must rely on their instincts to survive a threat unlike any they’ve faced before. All players having unlocked Yasuke as a playable character can access this event for free, by heading north-east of Yamashiro where they will be able to find the Quest Giver.

Upon completing the quest, players will obtain exclusive rewards, including a new katana and objects in several hidden chests scattered throughout the cave. They will also be able to further personalize their Assassins with Attack on Titan-themed packs available in-store, featuring a titan inspired outfit for Yasuke, a Mikasa inspired outfit for Naoe, weapons and a Survey Corps mount.

This update also includes a free story drop, the third in the game, titled “A Puzzlement”. Bringing a humorous twist to the adventure, the quest follows Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange and teach each other new skills: Naoe learns to perform her own dramatic version of Yasuke’s war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. As its name suggests, “A Puzzlement” also introduces a new, intricate environmental puzzle that may reveal some answers players have been seeking.

With development led by Ubisoft Quebec*, Assassin’s Creed Shadows embarks players on a captivating journey through feudal Japan, featuring a richly detailed and immersive world powered by the enhanced Anvil engine. Players take on the dual roles of Naoe, a stealthy shinobi Assassin, and Yasuke, a powerful samurai warrior, each offering distinct skills and abilities. They can seamlessly switch between the two as they master their complementary playstyles, uncover their shared destiny and usher in a new era for Japan.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is currently available on Ubisoft+, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Amazon Luna, Macs with Apple silicon via the Mac App Store as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam and the Epic Games Store. It will also be available on Switch 2, along with the Attack on Titan quest, on December 2nd.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Bringing Space to Life Dev Diary

2025/11/21

Recently, Owlcat Games offered fans a look behind the scenes of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn and its depiction of life in space in the form of a new dev diary revealed during the Golden Joystick Awards. In collaboration with former NASA astronaut and ISS commander Leroy Chiao, the studio worked at striking the right balance between realism and playability.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is based on the book series and TV show. The Expanse is famous for taking a “hard” approach to the science-fiction genre, incorporating real-world scientific theories and practices. In order to make life in space in-game as faithful to the original as possible, while at the same time creating a fun gaming experience, Owlcat collaborated with former NASA pilot and ISS commander Leroy Chiao, incorporating his experience on how he moved, breathed, and even ate in space. For example, astronauts tend to favor spicy food in order to regain some of the loss of sensation that comes from living on a space station for months or years at a time — this is reflected in-game with characters clearly having a craving for fiery food!

On the other hand, the team had to move away from a purely realistic depiction of life in space at some points, so the gameplay didn’t suffer. Real astronauts use tethers when they leave the security of their ships and space stations; but since this would be cumbersome in a video game, magnetic boots were introduced as a compromise.

The same approach applies to combat: firearm ballistics and recoil work differently in zero-G than on solid ground, and famously, there is (almost) no sound in space. However, since sound effects and weapon feedback are important elements of what makes combat in games feel good, the team had to find a compromise. Sound in game is muffled, but players can still get feedback in the form of vibrations, breathing, and radio sound.

Stay tuned for more information about The Expanse: Osiris Reborn in the future.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will launch on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, and on console via Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Fans can wishlist the game now.

DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER Brings Viral Densation to Steam December 3rd

Digital Cybercherries are pleased to reveal that DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER, the co-op reimagining of their viral horror hit, DON’T SCREAM, will launch December 3rd on Steam. DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER offers not only co-op, but also a new game mode where you can hunt down your friends, expanded locations, dynamic scares, improved voice detection, accessibility options and much more.

DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER is an experience about friendship, fear, and keeping your voice down. Up to four players must survive the night together by exploring, finding batteries for their camcorders, and speaking quietly through a forest that may – or may not – be haunted. Beware the jump scares, because if anyone screams, everyone restarts. If you choose to play in the new “Hunted” mode, speaking too loudly will see that player return as a playable hunter who can track, stalk, and intimidate the remaining team via proximity voice before finishing them off.

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu Gameplay Trailer

During today’s Xbox Partner Preview online conference, publisher NACON and studio ACE Team unveiled the first gameplay trailer for The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. The title offers a first-person horror experience that can be played cooperatively by up to four players online, and will be released in Summer 2026 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Freely inspired by the novella The Mound from the master of cosmic horror, H. P. Lovecraft, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu invites players to form a squad of 2 to 4 members to search for a legendary underground city containing priceless treasures.

The game is set in the 16th century, during the era of the great explorations of the New World. Each expedition begins on the explorers’ galleon, where players gather, select their next mission, and choose together the weapons and equipment that will give them a chance to survive what lies ahead.

Once ashore, players must work together to survive the cursed jungle, find treasure, complete their mission, and make it back to the galleon alive. The area is home to many creatures that threaten the explorers’ lives and also damage their sanity to the point of making them doubt everything.

Are you the only one who heard that scream in the forest? Is that your ally coming to your rescue, or a monster rushing towards you? Can you still trust your perception, and do you really have time to assess the situation? One wrong decision, one misplaced shot, and the mission could turn into a disaster. To survive, mutual aid and communication via proximity voice chat will be essential to untangle illusion from reality, dispel the group’s doubts and paranoia, and hope to return safe and sound (of mind) to the galleon.

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu will be available in Summer 2026 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series and PC.

The Blue Hole opens for the season today on Xbox as Mintrocket announces the official platform release of DAVE THE DIVER on Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Included in the announcement is a first look at the upcoming ‘In the Jungle’ DLC gameplay, featuring a sneak peek of the new biomes, characters, and aquatic encounters.

“For Dave, Xbox is the final frontier, and we’re thrilled to welcome Xbox Series players into the adventure today,” said Jaeho Hwang, director of DAVE THE DIVER. “Fans around the world have embraced Dave and his wonderfully chaotic crew, and we can’t wait for a whole new community to dive not only into the base game, but the DLCs that have helped shape the game world into one that keeps fans coming back.”

Xbox players have immediate access to all available DLC expansions, including the DREDGE content pack, which adds an ominous red fog that, when active, enables Dave to catch underwater aberrations that can then be served to mysterious hooded visitors at Bancho Sushi; the Godzilla content pack, which brings Godzilla’s disastrous presence to the Blue Hole forcing Dave to pursue the legendary kaiju while battling Ebirah in a submarine, and collecting rare ingredients for new Godzilla-inspired dishes; and the “Ichiban’s Holiday” DLC, which introduces Ichiban Kasuga and other characters from the Yakuza series with new missions, minigames, and karaoke.

DAVE THE DIVER, which enjoyed global critical acclaim upon its Steam Early Access launch in 2022 and subsequent 1.0 release in 2023, is a charming single-player adventure RPG hybrid that has since released on additional platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 1, Nintendo Switch 2, and now for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The game follows Dave through his adventures in the mysterious abyss that is the Blue Hole, an ever changing underwater oasis teeming with life…and peril.

Masterfully blending exploration, business management sim, and fishing precision, DAVE THE DIVER sees players explore the deep sea by day, completing various missions and side quests, and run an exotic sushi restaurant by night. Supported by an eclectic cast of friends and partners, Dave tackles the intricacies of life, business, sea conservationism, and no shortage of underwater giants and the secrets of an ancient civilization.
