Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Story Trailer Gives Us a Deeper Look at Its Plot

Ubisoft released a new story trailer for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla today, and it gives us the best look at the game’s plot thus far. In it, you can see the main character, Eivor, interacting with many of the game’s characters — along with a glimpse at some of the enemies you’ll encounter throughout your journey. Much of what we’ve seen of Valhalla so far has focused on gameplay, so it’s refreshing to see bits and pieces of the game’s narrative in the latest trailer. You can check it out below.

EA Play Will Join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in November

We finally know when EA Play will join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and its release date makes a lot of sense. As announced on Twitter today, EA Play will come to Xbox on Nov. 10 — alongside the release of the Xbox Series X and S consoles. EA Play is the publisher’s take on the subscription-based model, offering many of its most popular games for a monthly fee. And now, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will gain access to those games at no additional cost.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales’ PS4 Saves Will Be Transferable to PS5

Although your saves in Marvel’s Spider-Man won’t be transferable from PS4 to PS5, Insomniac Games has confirmed that cross-save will be enabled for Spider-Man: Miles Morales —Ā meaning you’ll be able to bring your saves from the PS4 version to PS5. This news comes by way of a tweet from the developer in response to a fan. Insomniac said that “you will be able to transfer your save to PS5. We’ll share details closer to launch.” It’s unclear when we’ll get more information about it (and why this same method won’t work with the original game), but at least you won’t have to start from scratch in Miles Morales if you plan on upgrading from PS4 to PS5.
