‘Just Dance 2023’ goes live November 22nd with online multiplayer

Just Dance is officially entering its live-service era with Just Dance 2023. The latest iteration of Ubisoft’s dance-along franchise will support online multiplayer for up to six people at a time, unlocking the full game to be played with friends. The studio promises regular free content updates “for years to come,” including fresh game modes, songs and themed seasons.

Ubisoft

Just Dance 2023 is due to hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch on November 22nd. It’ll come to Google Stadia at a later date.

This marks the first time in Just Dance history that players will be able to get down with friends live and online. The new Online Groups feature in Just Dance 2023 allows players to team up with people they know or other folks around the world, and it has an emoji communication system. The game supports cross-platform play. And, of course, there’s always local multiplayer for in-person dance-offs.

Ubisoft

Just Dance 2023 will include 40 new universes and songs at launch, including “Physical” by Dua Lipa and “More” by K/DA. With a focus on transitioning Just Dance into a live service, rather than a series of discrete titles, Ubisoft will likely have a regular cadence of new material to drop on its dancers post-launch, so don’t stress too much about the track list for now.

 

Codename Red will take the Assassin’s Creed franchise to feudal Japan

The game Assassin’s Creed fans have been asking for years is finally on its way. During its Ubisoft Forward event on Saturday, the publisher revealed Codename Red, a new entry in the series that will be set in feudal Japan. Franchise head Marc-Alexis Côté called Red the “next premium title” in Ubisoft’s open world series and said Ubisoft Quebec was leading work on the project, suggesting it will hew closer to Odyssey than next year’s Mirage.

Côté also shared a teaser for Codename Hexe and called it “a very different type of Assassin’s Creed game.” Ubisoft Montreal, the studio that first created the series is leading development on the project, with Clint Hocking involved as creative director. Hocking may not be a household name, but he’s probably among the most influential designers at Ubisoft, with credits that include Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Far Cry 2. According to a recent report from Bloomberg’s Jason Scheier, the game is set during the latter stages of the Holy Roman Empire.

Neither game has a release date yet, but Ubisoft said they would both integrate with Infinity, a service Côté called “not a game per se, but a single entry point into the series.” Ubisoft was cryptic about what Infinity would involve but Côté said the company was exploring the possibility of creating standalone multiplayer experiences within the hub.

We work in the dark…

Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade is a ‘AAA RPG’ for mobile devices

Ubisoft is bringing Assassin’s Creed back to mobile devices with Jade, a new title set in China. The game takes place around 215 BC, filling in the timeline between Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Origins, and it’s designed to feel like a mainline entry, parkouring and all. There’s no release date quite yet and all Ubisoft has shown is the classic eagle-flying-over-a-settlement sequence.

One thing we do know about Jade is that it will support the ability to create your own character, a first for the series. There’s no word on pricing or potential micro-transactions for the game.

Ubisoft has tried to make Assassin’s Creed a thing on mobile devices for nearly as long as the series has existed. The first mobile entry was Assassin’s Creed: Altaïr’s Chronicles, and it came out for the Nintendo DS in 2008, with iOS and Android versions the following year. The original Assassin’s Creed, meanwhile, hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2007. There have been a handful of mobile-first Assassin’s Creed games since then, but Ubisoft hasn’t released an iOS or Android title tied to the series in four years.

In addition to Jade, Ubisoft is building a game based on the live-action Assassin’s Creed series heading to Netflix. Of course there’s also Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the new mainline title set in the Middle East.

 

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will bring the series back to its roots in 2023

Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the next entry in Ubisoft’s long-running action-adventure series, will arrive in 2023. The publisher announced the release date today during its Ubisoft Forward event. Set two decades before the events of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the game will reunite fans with a Basim Ibn Ishaq and return the series to its stealth roots.

In a briefing held before today’s presentation, Ubisoft Bordeaux, the studio leading development on the project, described Basim as the most agile assassin in franchise history. He’ll have new abilities to assist him in avoiding detection, some of which you can see on display in the cinematic trailer Ubisoft shared today. An integral part of Basim’s kit is Enkidu, his pet eagle. Like Senu in Origins, Enkidu can scout ahead for you to spot potential threats, but new to Mirage is that there will be archers who can spot and take out your feathery friend. In addition to new gadgets, including smoke bombs and poison mines, Basim will also have the ability to briefly slow down time and plot out multiple assassinations.

With the action returning primarily to a single city – Baghdad circa 861 CE – parkour will play a much bigger role than in more recent games. Ubisoft Bordeaux said Basim would be one of the fastest free runners in franchise history, with a move set that includes both new and returning tricks. The story, meanwhile, will focus on The Hidden Ones, the organization that predates the Assassin Brotherhood and will see Shohreh Aghdashloo (The Expanse, Destiny 2) play Basim’s mentor, Roshan.

When it arrives next year, Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be available on PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna and PC. In the meantime, fans can look forward to The Last Chapter. The free DLC will arrive later this year and complete the story of Valhalla

 

The first ‘Mandalorian’ season three trailer reunites a favorite Star Wars family

With D23 underway this weekend, Disney had a lot to share with Star Wars fans. In all, the company debuted three trailers at the expo. First, there was a final look at Star Wars: Andor ahead of the show’s Disney+ premiere on September 21st. Then, we got to see Tales of the Jedi, a new animated anthology series that will begin streaming on October 23rd. But what you can here to see is the first trailer for season three of The Mandalorian.

The clip is the same one that was shown behind closed doors at Star Wars Celebration. Spoilers for season two of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett follow. 

After he left to train at Luke’s Jedi Temple, Grogu and Din (Pedro Pascal) are reunited and back to their usual hijinks, but Mando’s decision to take his helmet off at the end of season two has damaged his relationship with the Armorer and what’s left of his clan. The fact he also took the Darksaber from Moth Gideon is also a source of conflict between him and Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff). Based on the trailer, it looks like season three will tell a more focused story with fewer detours for Mando and Grogu to get into trouble.

The Mandalorian season three will arrive on Disney+ in 2023.

Apple iPhone 14 series: Launch Date, Specs and All We Know So Far!!!

The Apple iPhone 14 series is on the way and will be officially soon. Apple has confirmed that its most memorable yearly event will be held on 7th September 2022. To Apple’s delight, the organization is urging the event with the phrase “Out of sight.” This year, the iPhone 14 occasion will be in-person. This ends the string of fictitious iPhone events brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. The event for the iPhone 14 will take place on September 7 at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. Like in previous years, Apple will use the event to launch a number of products, including the iPhone 14 series and Apple Watch 8. Here is what we know about the 14-series Apple iPhone.

4 New iPhones This Year in the iPhone 14 series

4 New iPhones This Year in the iPhone 14 series

The iPhone 14 series will include four new iPhones: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Max, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. As far as anyone can tell, “Pro” here refers to higher-quality specifications, and “Max” corresponds to a larger screen size. The iPhone 14 Max’s expansion is therefore likely to be this year’s biggest upgrade to the iPhone 14 configuration. This will be when Apple first makes a 6.7-inch iPhone model with “Expert” mode available. On the Pro and Max variants, among other modifications, a notch-less display and a 48-megapixel camera are standard.

Apple iPhone 14 Series Likely To Go On Special

The Apple iPhone 14 series will likely be discounted on September 16 in keeping with the tradition of iPhone sale day. On September 14, 2021, Apple had their iPhone 13 occasion. On Friday, September 24, the phones went on sale. According to a Bloomberg article, employees at Apple stores have been instructed to prepare for “a big new item discharge” on September 16.

Bad News for iPhone Mini fans

No iPhone mini this year

Due to “slow deals,” Apple will reportedly discontinue the smallest iPhone, the 5.4-inch Mini, this year. The iPhone 14 Mini was predicted to be discontinued by Nikkei Asian Review in a report from 2021, while analyst Ming-Chi Kuo excessively said something quite similar in a research note.

iPhone 14 Processor: Is it Significantly Improved?

Apple consistently offers a new A-series processor with their top iPhone configuration. The significant increases in demand for the A15 CPU for the iPhone 13 suggest that the A16 will be in charge of the iPhone 14 series. However, there are a few rumours that suggest Apple may stop participating in this yearly update cycle. They pledge to support the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models with A16. The A15 processor from a year ago would be used in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max models.

iPhone 14 series starts at the same retail price, but it could cost more

The price of the Apple iPhone 14 is rumoured to increase by $100. For the past couple of years, there haven’t been any price increases. Cost-wise, the Apple iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 are comparable to their predecessors. According to reports, Apple may feel pressured to raise the price due to expense increases in its store network. However, there are rumours that it could start at the same $799 sticker price.

The removal of the indent pattern represents the biggest modification to the plan thus far. The indent was introduced with the iPhone X and has stayed somewhat the same since then. In all honesty, a few Android OEMs adopted it rather quickly. Apple places several of the sensors, including those for Face ID, the speaker, and the mouthpiece, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg, in the indent. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models may prefer to use new opening + pill-shaped patterns on the showcase, according to reports. This suggests that screen space will expand further.

The iPhone 14 series might not be entirely e-SIM.

There have been rumours that the iPhone may completely replace real SIM cards starting around 2020. The Apple iPhone 14 series will almost definitely have actual SIM cards. Apple’s iPhone 15 series could have eSIM-only phones.

The biggest camera updates in years will be found in iPhone 14.

Biggest Camera Update So Far

Apple may make a number of significant improvements to the iPhone 14’s camera system in addition to other adjustments. Rumour has it that Apple chose a different supplier to create a better quality focal point for its forward-looking camera. The highlight is that the forward-looking camera automatically centres may be moved up. According to a claim from the Korean technology website ET News, LG Innotek would supply the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro with a selfie camera. A 48-megapixel wide-angle back camera for the Pro and Pro Max variants, up from a 12-megapixel sensor, is also predicted by Kuo in a note, making the iPhone 14 notch-less.

No More Camera Bulge

A straightened camera with no bulge is another significant plan alteration that is seen in some models. The body of the iPhone 14 will be a “thick kid” according to renowned leaker Prosser. It appears to be thick enough to completely enclose all of the camera gear without the need for an obtrusive, projecting camera setup on the back. The bigger battery of the iPhone 14 is related to its thickness.

Always On Lock Screen

Apple’s iOS 16 includes hints of a lock screen that is always on. Nevertheless, according to certain reports, the very best iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max may be the only ones to receive this component.
