Your disembodied hand trembles with raw power. It can raze forests, summon storms, and dedicate villagers to single tasks for their entirety of their humble lives: fishing, for example, or the most profound act of all - procreation (fine, shagging). But in Black & White, which recently turned 25-years-old, your divine command of mind and matter does not extend to the capricious creature roaming the grassy land below.

If Black Flag Resynced isn't enough for you, rumours swirl that we're also getting a full remake of the original Assassin's Creed game

After three long years of rumours, reports, leaks, a couple of official teases, we finally have confirmation that Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake is real, under the guise of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. But it seems Resynced isn't the only Assassin's Creed remake title in development, at least if you believe the chatter from a couple of reliable leakers. Read more Read more ›
