Assassin’s Creed Shadows hasn’t been able to catch a break since its recent reveals from a few days ago. A lot of that has to do with the discourse surrounding Yasuke and whether Ubisoft should even attach the name Assassin’s Creed to the recent games.
It seems that the beatdown will not stop any time soon either, as a recent post by Ubisoft has been the subject of much criticism and confusion from fans. Best of luck with Shadows, and Ubisoft; you’ll certainly need it when the game finally comes out.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a title that has been creating headlines since it was announced. Further, when the trailer for the game went live, it caused an even bigger fan uproar. One of the two protagonists in the game, Yasuke, became the point of fiery debates and controversies.
But the overall response for the title’s first trailer was also much worse when compared to previous titles like Valhalla. Apart from various community members, Twitch Streamers like Asmongold also reacted to trailers for both titles, and the two reactions were vastly different.
Asmongold’s Reaction to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Was Significantly Better Than His Reaction to Shadows
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was the third title since the series took a different RPG-esque approach to its games. Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be another product of the studio’s approach, which wasn’t the case with titles like Mirage.

Ubisoft’s upcoming game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, has stirred up quite a bit of controversy, and it’s not just about the main character. While the community debates over Yasuke as the protagonist, popular Twitch streamer Asmongold has a different issue with the game: its pricing.
Many fans are outraged over the game’s pricing. The Gold Edition of the game is priced at $110 Usd, and the Ultimate Edition is even higher at $130 Usd.
Asmongold’s Critique of Ubisoft’s Pricing Strategy This game is just full of controversy.
Shadows offers a $70 standard edition, a $110 Gold edition that includes the Season Pass as well as three days of early access to the game, and finally, a $130 Ultimate edition that comes with an ‘ultimate pack‘ on top of all the content offered in the Gold edition.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a title that has already been the subject of conversation due to the controversy with one of its two protagonists, Yasuke. Moreover, gamers are complaining about the game’s pricing.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the last tile, was much more similar to older titles in the series. Thus, it also received acclaim from series veterans. However, Shadows seems to be returning to the franchise’s formula, which includes RPG elements and a massive playable map to facilitate the same.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Will be closer to a title like Origins than something like Mirage Assassin’s Creed Shadows has two protagonists; one can switch between them while they explore the map.

The Assassin’s Creed Shadows caused outrage and hype among gamers, as reflected in the like-to-dislike ratio for the game’s trailer. When writing, the game had almost twice the number of dislikes. This was because of a controversy, as one of the two protagonists in the game was the point of discussion.

Assassin’s Creed has always had the advantage of being able to experiment with numerous historical settings, with each game set in a different era and usually introducing a new protagonist. Not only does this help Ubisoft keep things fresh even 17 years after the series’ debut, but it also covers a wide range of content that fans of varied tastes can get behind.
From the streets of Italy to the open world of Greece, the fanbase has visited places all across the globe, but long before the studio launched the trailer for Shadows, the community had been asking for a game set in Japan.
Now that Assassin’s Creed is finally taking action to a historical Japanese period, it raises a concerning sentiment. The franchise shouldn’t have taken this long to listen to the fans, because it may be too late.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been in a ton of controversies since its announcement. While locking quests behind a day-one-season pass bundle worth $109.99 was one of them, there’s another problem that has taken priority in almost all the discourse surrounding the title.
The existence of the samurai Yasuke in the game, one of the two protagonists of the game that you can play as, has rubbed many the wrong way, being that he is a man of African origin. While it might seem like a forced connection out of context, history says otherwise.
Was Yasuke from Assassin’s Creed Shadows a Samurai in Real Life?

Ubisoft first announced Assassin’s Creed Shadows in late 2022 under the title Assassins’ Creed Red. While we didn’t know much about the game, rumors swirled around for quite some time about its overall narrative and setting. Finally, after years of waiting, Assassin’s Creed Shadows was recently revealed with a cinematic trailer and confirmed release.
Although some in the community aren’t particularly happy with Ubisoft’s decision to bring a Black protagonist in a game set in Japan, the trailer has been well-received. Players are excited to see what the developers bring to the table with the next iteration of the popular franchise. While the official cinematic trailer gave us a look at the game’s setting and character, it also confirmed one feature that was last seen in Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

From Star Wars Outlaws to the latest Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft seems to be following a pattern that is catching a lot of flak.
After a user on X/Twitter uploaded a screenshot showcasing a monetization strategy the company has leveraged for Shadows, fans of the franchise are quickly piling on the company for being greedy and hurting itself with its decisions.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows looks poised to be a departure from the tone and tenor of its franchise, especially as of late. While last year’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage was always intended to be a throwback to earlier games in the series, that installment was also marketed as something of a side story—a smaller contained adventure versus the sprawling open world RPGs which compose Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla. But Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the series’ long-requested foray into the history of feudal Japan? This title is being developed by the same team at Ubisoft Québec that gave us Odyssey. So players very well might have expected more of the same.
If so, the first trailer and press releases of Shadows appear to be a warning and a promise: the next AC game will be going its own way, right down to the fact that for the first time,...

We got our first look at Assassin’s Creed Shadows yesterday, and it’s safe to say that the hype is building. While it’s always wise to temper expectations, the cinematic trailer gave us a look at not only the two characters but also their relationship and motives in the game.
Even though it’s a cinematic rendition, we got a glimpse at both characters in combat scenarios as well. Naoe and Yasuke are both adept fighters, but one prefers stealth while the other charges forward with his strength. For stealth, the game has borrowed some mechanics from a fan-favorite franchise.

GTA 6 will most undoubtedly be the standout release of the year, no matter when it launches. The reason is the title’s hype and the series’ track record. The game’s expected release date is Q1 2025, and it is almost certain that no other title will be released close to it, as it would risk a clash.
However, upcoming titles for significant franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty are known to be coming. With several months between 2024 and 2025, Q4 2024 seems to be the perfect time to release high-profile video games, which could make for a happening holiday season for gamers.
GTA 6 Might Cause Titles Like Call of Duty Gulf War and Assassin’s Creed Shadows Come Out in Q4 2024 GTA 6 will compel publishers to release their games before 2025.
As mentioned, the title is expected to arrive in Q1 2025, as per reports and rumors in the industry, despite no official confirmation.

After several outstanding games, there’s a signature style that Hidetaka Miyazaki incorporates into his art that has become instantly recognizable and influential for other studios as well. Not only does he put his heart and soul into FromSoftware games, but his work shares similar elements with one another, which makes gamers associate those aspects with the Soulsborne director.
That trend continued in the developer’s 2019 release, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which borrowed a mechanic from some of Miyazaki’s previous games but put enough of a spin on it to make it feel fresh.

Hayley Atwell’s Captain Carter appeared in plenty of Marvel-based projects. She played the role of alternative Captain America most recently in ‘What If…?’ Season 2 and most of the episodes featured her to some extent. She also appeared in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ as an Avenger and a founding member of the Illuminati. In 2018, she fought in the Infinity War and helped defeat Thanos in the Battle of Titan. Later, she voted to execute Doctor Strange due to his use of the Darkhold, which led to a multiversal incursion.

Former HBO Europe execs Johnathan Young and Ioanina Pavel have resurfaced with their own indie.
The pair have launched May One, which will be based in Bucharest, Romania — one of the former homes of HBO Europe. They are out of the gate with Subteran, a Netflix series announced last October that is produced alongside Tudor Rue from Mobra Films and now filming.
May One will seek to develop, produce and provide creative partnership for quality series shot in Romania, working with established and new talent from both within and outside the country. The company will look to open up Romanian resources and talent to the international industry to create collaborations in Europe and beyond.
In that sense, it harks back to HBO Europe’s ethos, which sought to bring together Central Eastern European talent with others from Western Europe and the U.S. It was considered one of the key international producers in the region,...

Meta documentary “Bushman” is receiving a 4K restoration and, for the first time, a multi-city theatrical release.
Director David Schickele’s 1971 film began as a fictional comedy starring his friend Paul Eyam Nzie Okpokam, following the “adventures of a well-educated Nigerian immigrant in San Francisco,” per the official synopsis. However, after Okpokam was wrongfully accused of a real-life crime, “Bushman” shifts to being a documentary about how Okpokam was imprisoned before being deported.
Filmmaker Schickele shot “Bushman” in 1968 after returning from the Peace Corps. Schickele’s is billed as being in the docu-fictional style vein of John Cassavetes’ “Shadows.” Kino Lorber and Milestone Film & Video supported the 4K restoration, which will screen January 15 at MoMA’s To Save and Project festival.
The 75-minute black-and-white film was shelved for decades after its initial release but is regarded by film scholars as a milestone of Black representation in American cinema, especially...

Although his name might be unfamiliar to a young generation of moviegoers, John Cassavetes was a giant in raising the profile of independent film in America. As a young man, after enrolling in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, he took on small parts in films and appeared in episodic television until he picked up a camera and exploded onto the indie film scene with his 1959 film “Shadows.” From there, he went on to write and direct “Faces” (1968), which earned three Oscar nominations and eventually to 1974’s “A Woman Under the Influence,” which starred his wife Gena Rowlands (whom he met at the American Academy) in arguably her most triumphant performance. Cassavetes is such an important figure in independent cinema that every year, the Independent Spirit Awards present the John Cassavetes Award to the year’s best film that cost less than $500,000.

When Martin Scorsese finally won the directing Oscar for 2006’s The Departed, he inspired a handful of film buffs to point out the supposed travesty implied by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences long ignoring the landmark titles on the filmmaker’s resume in favor of a remake. Few pointed out, or seemed to recall, that America’s most beloved living auteur, was not only no stranger to remakes, but took up the business of remaking, rebooting, and paying homage as a more than honorable foundation for a now-legendary body of work.
New York, New York was essentially a ticker-tape parade for old Hollywood’s Technicolor musical legacy, while Taxi Driver was a tribute either to Robert Bresson’s Pickpocket or John Ford’s The Searchers, depending on which auteur lens (Paul Schrader or Martin Scorsese) you look at it through.

Exclusive: Veteran British director Susanna White has revealed she’s working on a feature film based on her teenage life set against changes in the fashion world, as she gears up for today’s launch of Apple TV+ period drama The Buccaneers.
White is developing an untitled script for the BFI, the first time she has written a feature script herself, and the plot is based on her personal coming of age story. “It’s the story of me at 13, set in the world of fashion in early 1970s,” she told Deadline in an interview. “It’s very fun, sexy and hopefully moving.”
We hear the film will follow 13-year-old Gingernut as she grows up with the fur trade’s decline playing out in the background. The plot will see her trying to make sense of her parents’ dysfunctional relationship and include themes of family, growing up, betrayal, love and loss.

Initiations are a delicate dance. If the welcome party is too genial, too forthcoming, or too needy, they can come across desperate, phony, or otherwise off-putting. But if greeters go the other way, it can feel like draconian hazing (at best) or outright hostility (at worst). The Guide, Kristen Schaal’s part-time vampiric player promoted to series fang-ular in Season 5, faces the latter version when she moves into a dilapidated Staten Island mansion occupied by four long-term roommates. Excluded, forgotten, and derided, The Guide takes her licking week after week, until Episode 9, “A Weekend at Morrigan Manor,” when she tricks her housemates into an impromptu vacation, then locks Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) in silver-lined cages and forces them to answer for their abominable behavior.

Note: This story contains spoilers from “What We Do in the Shadows” Season 5, Episode 7.
There’s an unofficial rule on the set of “What We Do in the Shadows:” no fully CGI characters. So when Paul Jones, the series’ longtime prosthetics and animatronics designer, heard that there would be an episode filled with hybrid Guillermo creatures, he knew he was in for a challenge.
“Paul [Simms] knew right away that this was a lot of work for anybody, and he was able to schedule that toward the end of filming. I actually had probably about eight weeks lead up to it,” Jones told TheWrap.
That eight-week runway allowed for a lot of testing on one of the wildest episodes of the FX comedy series. All season long, Laszlo (Matt Berry) has been experimenting on Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), trying to determine what it means that his housemate is both a vampire...

The title of What We Do in the Shadows season 5 episode 7 “Hybrid Creatures” gives away the guest stars who hide their true selves behind bleats, ribbits, and floor-burning flatulence. Laszlo (Matt Berry) deems his experiments to slow vampiric progression a failure, and orders scientific containment. Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), the one evolving into a vampire, is the container. He is given a sidearm to dispatch of the monstrosities created when science gets mad.
To understand the workings of the former familiar’s curious evolution, and a few giggles, Laszlo has been splicing Guillermo’s DNA with stray animals. We’ve already seen Guillermo’s face on levitating frogs, but now there is a whole litter to be cleaned. The vampires have an infestation of Guillermo-things, and there...

Actor who starred in John Cassavetes’s Shadows and gave Michael Caine the plans for the heist in The Italian Job
The lacerating 1959 drama Shadows, a pinnacle of US independent film-making, heralded two striking new talents: the director John Cassavetes and the actor Lelia Goldoni, who was just 20 when she gave a guileless performance combining wistful romanticism and mercurial restlessness. She played Lelia – all the actors in the film share their first names with their characters – who is an African-American woman “passing” for white. Goldoni herself was of Sicilian descent.
When Lelia’s white boyfriend meets one of her darker-skinned brothers (Hugh Hurd) and realises that she is black, his discomfort inflames tensions in the household and sends aftershocks through the rest of the film.

Mark Proksch has been a star of the critically acclaimed “What We Do in the Shadows” for five seasons now, but despite the FX series’ numerous awards nominations, passionate fanbase and longevity, the actor still makes more money off his limited run on “The Office” than he does on a currently running series that’s been nominated for 17 Emmys.
“I make more from one season of guest starring on ‘The Office’ than I’ve made for every season of ‘Shadows’ combined,” Proksch told TheWrap ahead of the series’ Season 5 premiere. This discrepancy comes down to residuals, one of the issues at the front of SAG-AFTRA’s possible strike against the AMPTP.
Proksch has played series regular Colin Robinson the energy vampire since Episode 1 of “What We Do in the Shadows,” which has released 40 episodes and is set to debut its fifth season this week. By contrast, Proksch’s guest starring...

After teasing some of the goodies in the upcoming “Tide of Shadows” live event for Hunt: Showdown earlier this month, Crytek has kicked off the event today. “Tide of Shadows” features new challenges, gameplay, weapons, story, and a new boss in Rotjaw for the duration of the event, which runs until August 23.
The new live event introduces a new Boss category in the Wild Target, with Rotjaw being the first. Unlike other Boss enemies in the game, Rotjaw will not be found inside a compound. Instead, she lurks in the waters of the Bayou. Designed for a new gameplay experience, Rotjaw will force Hunters to improvise while defending in the wide open spaces. Players must make decisions on the fly about how to approach and dispatch this giant croc, earning a Bounty Token if they succeed.

Harvey Guillén always loved to get dressed up. He cannot say the same of shopping. “Going to the mall was so hard,” says the What We Do in the Shadows star. “Somebody made a meme of what it is to be a person of size going shopping with your friends. Everyone else is like, ‘I got this cute outfit, I got this cute top, I got these cute jeans.’ Meanwhile I’m like, ‘I got this cute bracelet.’ “
Some brands and retailers have gotten better at catering to plus-size customers, but the evolution remains slow-going. Fortunately for the 33-year-old queer actor, a real sartorial standout with a string of buzzy 2023 red carpet looks, he’s now courting the attention of major labels, though not all of them are able to deliver. “They love him and want to work with him, but they are working with limited sample sizes and limited resources,...

First must come the consumer warning. I read this digitally, which means flipping through the pages would have been more cumbersome than with a physical book, and I took the “152 pages” as an indication of the length of the story.
Reader, I was misled.
Only the End of the World Again is a 48-page story, bulked out by an sketchbook section exactly twice its size that shows the thumbnail layouts and un-lettered final inks for each page side-by-side, presumably for fans of art to take a magnifying glass to them and make various low appreciative noises in the back of their throats for the next several hours. I did not do so; that’s not how I read books.
If you do want to spend several hours with those earlier versions of the same story, though, this may well be a positive for you. It takes all kinds to make a world,...

Tiffany Darwish, a pop star popular in the ’80s, got into an accident last week while driving her car on Interstate 65 in Nashville, Tennessee.
While driving on the interstate a truck driving near her lost its tire, and it hit her car with her inside it. The tire ended up getting caught under the side of the car she was driving.
Darwish was not injured in the accident, but her car is severally damaged, including a part of the vehicle being ripped off, multiple dents and a torn transmission. She did not comment on whether she got medical attention after the accident.
She did post an update on her Instagram feed Thursday with a picture of the sky and clouds forming a heart.
“Thanking the angels above,” she wrote, “and thank you to all who’ve reached out after my car accident … I’m feeling fine, no complications… Hoping they...
