A charming AI assistant named Bagley ties the group together, which guides you through the world with various tips and pieces of intel.

It’ll be debuting on March 6th of next year and is now available for pre-order at Amazon.

Mythic Quest

Weirdly enough, Ubisoft followed up its initial debut by announcing a new Apple TV+ show. The trailer gave us a first look at what to expect, but it seems like HBO’s Silicon Valley centered around the perils of game development.
