Title Update 1.1.11’s content, along with much of Shadows’ post-launch content, was shaped by player feedback. Associate Game Director Simon Lemay-Comtois breaks this down in an exclusive interview. Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ final content update is out now, wrapping up the story of Naoe and Yasuke in the Sengoku era. Black Tides is the final narrative installation, offering over approximately two hours of new content and featuring a little bit of deep lore, some Templar action, and [spoiler alert] also a tie-in to the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. The update also introduces a new gameplay feature designed to challenge or even break player’s strongest builds. Domains brings hours and hours of additional gameplay, offering complex challenges in a replayable loop designed for hardcore RPG players. Set outside the constraints of feudal Japan, this new feature pushes players to craft new builds to win increasingly difficult challenges for exclusive reward…

This cinematic storytelling is one of the biggest changes in years for the series, by telling its story from a first-person perspective it helps immerse you further in the moment-to-moment air combat drama. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is launching October 2, 2026, for XBOX Series X|S and is available for pre-order today on the XBOX Store. Or Grab Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve Deluxe Edition to start playing on September 28, 2026. Pre-order any version of the game to receive a copy of the classic Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War for free. One of my first thoughts from the reveal trailer of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve a few months ago was how that dog on the carrier flight deck could not possibly be following protocol. That doggy detail helps to reinforce the fictional realm of Ace Combat’s Strangereal universe, where continents like Osea, Belka, Erusea, Sotoa, and Usea cover the globe and routinely engage in hostilities via air combat. That trailer also gave us a hint at how ACE8 will be changing, with a first-person narrative perspective mixed with high-stakes combat. At Summer Game Fest: Play Days we had a chance to go hands-on with this anticipated title and came away impressed with how this next entry in the long-running series is looking to be the most personal yet. <img decoding="async" src="https://xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com/sites/2/2026/06/02-c1b89509a589583913f0-1900x1268.jpg" srcset="https://xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com/sites/2/2026/06/02-c1b89509a589583913f0-1900x1268.jpg 1900w, https://xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com/sites/2/2026/06/02-c1b89509a589583913f0-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900…

I tried to feed-off from that anxiety as pivotal point when making Re:Re:Ghosted. Well, being an indie-developer and “self-publisher” and when you are not explaining yourself to investors or other big publishers, you “can” really get inspiration from any idea and core concept and that’s the pre-paid reward of being an “indie-developer”. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1900" height="1080" data-wp-class--hide="state.isContentHidden" data-wp-class--show="state.isContentVisible" data-wp-init="callbacks.setButtonStyles" data-wp-on--click="actions.showLightbox" data-wp-on--load="callbacks.setButtonStyles" data-wp-on-window--resize="callbacks.setButtonStyles" src="https://xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com/sites/2/2026/06/InLineImage2-c48082ee77f02fc6ef2f-1900x1080.jpg" alt="RRGhosted screenshot" class="wp-image-222858" /> <path fill="#fff" d="M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z" /> There is a specific kind of fear that no in-game monsters can produce. It lives in automated reply emails, in HR portals that ask you to upload your “past-trauma” in PDF format in the name of “curriculum-vitae”, in orientation videos that use the word “family” to describe a company that will let you go without warning. It is the fear of systems and “formal” processes.
