Following a “challenging” year of losses and few releases, Ubisoft is preparing to pump resources into the Assassin’s Creed franchise to secure its future. It will include a restructure that will increase headcount on Assassin’s Creed title development by 40% in the coming years, following a rash of layoffs that reduced the company’s global headcount below 20,000.

In its full year earnings today, Ubisoft reported that in a fiscal year in which its only major releases were Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Just Dance 2023, and Rocksmith+, its net sales were €1.81 billion ($1.97 billion) down 14.6% from last year, and it overall reported an operating loss of €500 million ($543 million).

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been out in the wild for a weekend now, and fans are spotting all kinds of fun easter eggs and tidbits all over the place. One of our favorites? Link’s cooking animations have gotten the smallest, sweetest musical upgrade. Yes, Link sings now!

In Breath of the Wild, Link’s cooking animation was pretty wholesome on its own. He would toss the ingredients into a pot, hum a few abstract notes cheerfully as they stewed, and then express delight when the dish was done (assuming it wasn’t…dubious). But in Tears of the Kingdom, his cooking is even more adorable, because Link actually sings multiple recognizable songs from his own games while food is cooking.

In Breath of the Wild, which released almost two years after the death of late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, Nintendo seemingly included a tribute to his memory in the form of Satori Mountain and its resident Lord of the Mountain. And now, in the sequel Tears of the Kingdom, that tribute has been further expanded upon with one of the game’s most mystical hidden encounters.

On Satori Mountain in Breath of the Wild, players who visited on certain nights could see a beautiful spectral creature called the Lord of the Mountain and witness a number of Blupees gathering.

As someone who has spent over ⅔ of his life riding a skateboard, I’ll be the first to say that skating is not an easy skill. Between falling, destroying your shoes on grip tape, and spending weeks trying to land that first kickflip, it’s as grueling and time-consuming as it is rewarding and fun. VR Skater is no different in that regard. While it’s obvious that a VR skateboard will never replace the real thing, I was still skeptical about how “real” it would feel coasting over digital concrete while having a bulky PSVR2 headset strapped to my face. But after landing that first kickflip over a set of tires, all my doubts were gone, and I found myself looking forward to mastering my next trick.
