In this episode of Skill Up, we dive into the latest gaming news for March, starting with the revelation that Assassin's Creed Shadows will offer a main story experience of 30-40 hours, a significant reduction compared to its predecessor Valhalla. Ubisoft is battling leaks of the game, urging fans to avoid spoilers and promising surprises. Meanwhile, PlayStation VR2 faces challenges, with Sony slashing its price from $550 to $400, hinting at lackluster demand compared to Meta Quest 3. The PS+ lineup includes Dragon Age The Veil guard, causing an uproar for offering a premium AAA game just four months after release.
Monster Hunter Wilds breaks records with over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam but receives criticism for poor PC performance, with users likening it to cooking a steak on their GPUs. Capcom's controversial in-game spending model locks character redesign behind a paywall, drawing ire from players. NES competes with itself by publishing Overwatch 2 in China, alongside Marvel Rivals, in a move that raises eyebrows. Warner Brothers sees a 29% drop in gaming profit, with Hogwarts Legacy's success overshadowing other releases, while EA surprises with consumer-friendly gestures like releasing Split Fiction and sharing Command and Conquer source code.
Amidst the chaos, Sony implements layoffs at PlayStation-owned studios Visual Arts San Diego Studio and PlayStation Studios Malaysia, hinting at internal restructuring. The gaming industry is in flux, with big players making bold moves and facing challenges. Skill Up keeps you up to date on all the latest developments in the gaming world, from record-breaking game launches to controversial business decisions.
