Ghostrunner 2

Ghostrunner 2 finally has a release date. 505 Games and One More Level’s first-person cyberpunk action thriller will be available worldwide from October 26 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games, and GOG.

Preorders are now available, and those who purchase the title’s Brutal Edition will get to play Ghostrunner 2 48 hours earlier than everyone else, aside from getting additional content.

The latest trailer for the game also highlights Jack’s action-packed fight against the violent AI cult that has assembled outside Dharma Tower.

The clip also gives players a glimpse at the high-powered motorcycle and vehicular combat, plus a host of mind-bending enemies and battles that Jack will face off against later this year.

Ghostrunner 2 comes with a revamped progression system so veterans and newcomers alike can face challenging encounters with an increased focus on approachability and a new “block and perfect” parry system.

Assassin's Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be launching on June 6, 2024, on the App Store for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad Air and iPad Pro with M1 chip or later.

The game first launched on last generation and current generation consoles as well as PC back in October 2023. It will be the first console title of the series for players to enjoy natively on mobile devices.

Players can experience the complete narrative-driven action adventure of Assassin’s Creed Mirage on mobile. In this game, they will be exploring 9th century Baghdad as Basim, a young thief who transforms into a Master Assassin.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be free to download and play for 90 minutes. The full version supports Universal Purchase and can be unlocked with a single in-app purchase, so players can enjoy the game on both iPhone and iPad. Pre-orders are now available here.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage spins a tale centered around an already established character, rather than a blank slate like Valhalla’s Eivor. It follows Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character introduced in Valhalla. Taking place before the events of the previous game, Mirage has the assassin root out the Order in 9th-century Baghdad, a setting familiar to those who played the original title in 2007.
