Have you been eager to play Skull and Bones but you can’t bring yourself to use any other digital games platform outside of Steam (even though Steam will often connect to outside launchers anyway)? Then you’re in luck because Ubisoft has confirmed its arrival to the platform on Thursday, August 22nd.

Since the announcement of Ubisoft’s next Assassin’s Creed game, Shadows, it has been at the center of a culture war. Most of the conversation has been carried out in intensely bad faith, focusing on the usual suspects’ hatred of any game that doesn’t center a straight white male character, but it’s also grown more complicated following a series of issues raised by Japanese audiences regarding promotional materials. Ubisoft has now released a lengthy statement via its social media.

Ubisoft Issues Weird Statement On Assassin's Creed Shadows Controversies

One of the best ways to ensure a certain level of success in the video game industry is to go and create a character that becomes iconic. If you’re able to do that and not paint the character into a corner within their titles, you could develop many games featuring them, and gamers would love to play them every time. All the main publishers out there have characters that fit into this mold, and for Capcom, one of their gaming icons is Mega Man. The “Blue Bomber” has been around since the NES days of gaming and continues to be a character that people talk about with awe and reverence.

There are all sorts of patterns you’ll see in the gaming space that some will deem as “necessary” for one reason or another, while others will deem it “annoying”. One such practice is the constant flow of DLC that gamers need to buy to experience the “full version” of the game they’re playing. Just in the last few days, there has been not one, not two, but three fighting games that highlighted DLC characters coming to the titles that are highly anticipated but need to be paid for to get. However, games like Stardew Valley have never charged players beyond buying the main game. The reason for that? The creator won’t charge players and promises never to do that.

Stardew Valley Creator Promises Never To Charge For Additional Content

The Assassin’s Creed game everyone wanted for over a decade has been marred in a nonsense controversy since its two lead characters were revealed earlier this year. Centering an African-born lead in a game set during feudal Japan is a great way to set Assassin’s Creed Shadows apart from other excellent games that have already explored this era. Instead, it's become a lightning rod for some of the worst people on the internet looking to turn fake outrage into cash and content.

Mortal Kombat 1 story ending gave us a glimpse of a multiverse-driven sequel, however, recent leaks are suggesting a different route for the future of the franchise. With Invasions not touching the main game’s ending cutscene and the titan Havik’s arch at all, it’s now up to an unannounced Mortal Kombat 1 story DLC to wrap up the narrative. And of course, with year 2 of Mortal Kombat 1, the Kombat Pack 2 is probably coming our way.

Throughout "Star Trek," one species that has a makeover on more than one occasion is the battle-hardened race, the Klingons. Originally, they aren't too dissimilar from Romulans when they appear in the original "Star Trek" timeline, before shifting to the more well-known appearance that debuted in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture." However, the aliens gained a more aggressive alteration in "Star Trek: Discovery." When facing Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), the warrior race was made up of snaggletoothed monsters, almost devolved from what came before. But it was in Season 2 of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" when director Chris Fisher phased back to the more popular design.

Why The Klingons Look So Different On Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
