Xbox in Trouble? Ubisoft’s $145 Assassin’s Creed & Hollywood Rumors!
This week on Interweb Rundown, we’re diving into the biggest stories shaking up gaming, movies, and entertainment!
We kick things off with the surprisingly low 33% Rotten Tomatoes score for Moana and discuss what may have gone wrong.
Then it’s time for the Rumor Mill, where we break down reports surrounding GTA VI age verification, a possible True Crime: New York remake, the long-awaited Splinter Cell Remake, and rumors that Deathstroke & Bane could headline the next DC Universe film.
We also examine Ubisoft’s latest controversy as Assassin’s Creed’s $60 base game balloons to nearly $145 for the “complete” experience through DLC and microtransactions. Is this becoming the new normal for AAA gaming?
Finally, we take a hard look at the current state of Xbox—from thousands of layoffs and studio uncertainty to leadership changes and growing speculation about Microsoft’s long-term gaming strategy. Is Xbox simply restructuring, or are the rumors of a major shake-up pointing to something much bigger?
Join us as we separate fact from fiction, share our opinions, and bring you the latest from the worlds of gaming, movies, and pop culture.
