Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s first major story-driven DLC, Legacy of the First Blade, has received a launch trailer, showing off a highly-important assassin.

With Episode 1: Hunted releasing on December 4, Legacy of the First Blade follows the first assassin to wield a hidden blade: Darius I, son of Xerxes I. Though Darius had long passed since the events of Assassin’s Creed 2, Ezio went on to explore a tomb dedicated to Darius. Though the real-world history on the matter is uncertain, many believe that Darius committed patricide and murdered Xerxes.

The DLC will be divided into three episodes, with the first focusing on Kassandra or Alexios meeting Darius. A new Persian enemy group appears in the trailer: they are seen pillaging villages, wearing black masks and are hunting the “tainted ones,” which includes the player character.

Kids have been bringing video games and other distractions into schools for decades. For me, it was my Game Boy. But everything from the ‘90s surge of Tamagotchi to Magic the Gathering and Pokémon cards has had their moment in the spotlight in middle schools and high schools alike. Kids in high school these days, however, have grown up with games on smartphones, and those games follow them into class in ways my Game Boy never could have.

Fortnite is huge in a way few games have been, and its audience talks about it and plays it in a way that’s different from almost any other game community. You can carry Fortnite – along with your profile and all your records and purchased content – with you just about anywhere you can go. That includes the classroom.

After Fallout 76 players have felt unheard in the recent weeks, Bethesda has responded to the complaints on Reddit, with a full article publishing at a later time on their website.

Bethesda admitted to being too silent and non-communicative with the Fallout community, and said they are focusing on being more transparent from now on.

“We know you’re frustrated and angry at the state of things right now, whether it’s the issues you’re running into in the game, or the lack of communication about fixes, updates, or news. To be clear, this account is run by us, Bethesda Game Studios community team.”

Seven years have already passed since the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released, and now the community wants to see an 82-year-old fan who regularly plays the game included in its next entry.

Per Eurogamer, Reddit user phantom-scribbler started a push to have Bethesda create a version of 82-year-old YouTuber, Skyrim aficionado and grandmother Shirley Curry in the Elder Scrolls 6. The petition was inspired by a rather macabre comment Curry made in response to last month’s comments made by Bethesda VP of PR and marketing, which implied the Elder Scrolls 6 might still be several years away from release.
