#184 - Daddy Far Cry
In this podcast episode, we focus on Far Cry 5. Matthew's full review is up on the site and with Carlos playing a good chunk of the game himself, they discuss where the game succeeds and where it can stumble for some players. They tackle the narrative, how the exploration further entices more exploration, and a lot more.
For an added bonus, we discuss a bit on the critic's consensus on the upcoming PS4 exclusive God of War. Reviews embargo lifting two weeks before release spells confidence.

XDefiant, developed by the Ubisoft San Francisco team, is officially shutting down as the free-to-play FPS will only have its servers open until June 2025. It was also reported that two Ubisoft studios are shutting down, effectively laying off up to 177 employees, with the rest being moved to other projects.
Ubisoft has delayed Assassin’s Creed: Shadows to February 14, 2025, citing the need for extra development time. This puts the game in tougher competition from major titles releasing that month such as Civilization 7, Monster Hunter Wilds, Avowed, and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Ubisoft has launched Season 2 of XDefiant, featuring the new Highwaymen faction, three new maps, and the addition of Bomb mode. Players can also expect the arrival of private matches, new weapons, and in-game events.
Ubisoft's Mask of Darkness DLC for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is now available and introduces four new biomes, ten traversal obstacles like lasers and teleportation portals, six new enemy types, and three epic bosses. Players will also gain three powerful amulets to enhance their combat abilities. Available as a standalone or in the Complete Edition on all platforms.
Ubisoft revealed what to expect from the season pass of their upcoming open world game Star Wars Outlaw. The pass includes an extra mission and a cosmetic pack on launch day, two post-launch DLC story packs, and more cosmetics.
Ubisoft has once again delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the next entry in the long-running open-world franchise, to allow more polish and time for developers to make changes based on player feedback. It is now set to launch on March 20, 2025.
