Ubisoft is emailing Far Cry 6 owners with a roundup of their playtime so far - prompting a mixed response from some fans. The email, written in the style of the game's villain El Presidente, is essentially a message meant to goad player character Dani Rojas back into action. "Hola, Rojas. I wanted to thank you for giving me free rein in Yara," the email teases. "Take it easy, and know that Yara is in capable hands." The email goes on to question: "Surely you can do better than this," before listing a set of custom player stats such as time played and total kills. The email gathered visibility yesterday afternoon after being posted to Twitter by GamesIndustry.biz managing editor Brendan Sinclair. The message's tone, coupled with a play count of just three hours, gave the appearance that Ubisoft was singling out someone for abandoning the game quickly. A lot of games are already ruthlessly designed to maximize engagement, but now they email and hassle you if you dare to stop …

Bill Murray Says He’s In A Marvel Movie, And It Might Be Ant-Man 3
Legendary actor Bill Murray says he will appear in a new Marvel movie, and people believe its Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Speaking to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine ( via Deadline ), Murray let slip, "You know, recently I made a Marvel movie." Murray said of the movie's director, "I got to know the director--and really liked him very much. He was funny, humble, everything you want from a director." But who is the director? Murray went on to reference the cheerleader movie Bring It On, which was directed by Ant-Man's Peyton Reed, who is coming back for Quantumania. So there you have it--it sounds like Murray has a role in the next Ant-Man film. "With the cheerleader story Bring It On he made a movie years ago, which I think is damn good. So I agreed…" Murray said. We don't know what role Murray might play in the new Ant-Man movie, if he is indeed appearing in it, but the Caddyshack star made it clear he doesn't plan to play the character again. "Now I've …

Overwatch Patch Notes Include McCree’s New Name, Bug Fixes, And More
The latest update for Blizzard's enduringly popular hero shooter Overwatch has arrived. Perhaps the biggest change is that the hero McCree is now named Cole Cassidy. Blizzard made the change because McCree's namesake was ousted from the company amid the sexual harassment and discrimination case at Activision Blizzard. Cole Cassidy is the same hero as McCree, just with a new name. Going forward, Blizzard said it will not name new characters after Blizzard employees. The company also vowed to "be more thoughtful and discerning about adding real-world references in future Overwatch content." Elsewhere, the patch fixes a bug that could cause players to not receive full credit for their matches when playing Junkenstein's Revenge. There are some hero-specific changes, too, as Brigitte gets a fix for a bug that could cause her mac chain to appear as the wrong color, while D.Va had a bug that caused the Black Cat skin to be missing a certain decal. You can see the full patch notes …
Pixar’s Toy Story Spin-Off Lightyear Gets Cosmic First Trailer
The first trailer for Lightyear is here. Pixar's spin-off from the Toy Story series hits theaters on June 17, 2022. The Lightyear trailer contains very little dialogue and doesn't give too much away about the plot, but it definitely sets the tone for this interstellar adventure. The movie focuses on the "real" Buzz Lightyear--as opposed to the doll version from the Toy Story films. It's an origin story, that reveals how a young test pilot with big dreams about exploring the universe becomes the world-famous Space Ranger. The trailer intercuts scenes of Buzz on Earth, looking wistfully at the stars, with footage of him blasting through space and landing on an alien planet, set to the evocative strains of David Bowie's classic song "Starman." It looks as beautifully animated as you'd expect and should be an exciting new chapter in this long-running franchise. Check the trailer out below: Only one of Lightyear's voicecast has been announced so far--Captain America star Chris …

Ubisoft Stockholm is working on a new IP which may be a sci-fi action game
Ubisoft Stockholm, the new studio which was initially formed to help out on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora , is working on an unannounced new game franchise of its own. The studio recently directed interested candidates to apply to 27 different roles related to its unannounced new intellectual property, and while the details are still scarce, the job listings provide a little more information about what the new project will be. For instance, the "lead game designer action/combat" role notes that "significant experience as a game designer on AAA action games" would be a plus, which - together with the title of the role itself - strongly indicates this will be a big-budget action game with an emphasis on combat. The animation/engine programmer role specifies that the position "will be part of creating a new animation system and legacy," and that "there is none today" - all of it's going to be made from scratch for this project. In other words, its base level animation and …
The Division 2’s Next Big Update Has Been Delayed Until February 2022
After a bit of a slow year, The Division 2 team has released a new roadmap for the future of the game, which pushes back its next big update to February 2022. Until then, the blog post reads, players will get more from the dev team behind the scenes, with the return of the Intelligence Annex series of deep dive articles into upcoming features and changes. Early this year, Ubisoft confirmed that The Division 2 would continue to get new content throughout the year thanks to its strong community support. Since then, however, the game has only seen re-runs of previous seasons, with the promised major update never materializing. Now, players will have to wait until February 2022 for the new content--when any new content will also have to compete against a slate of strong new game releases scheduled for February . The news update hasn't given too much detail about what new content players can expect, all we know at this point that it will consist of a new season and an associated …
Pixar’s Turning Red: First Trailer Delivers Red Panda Mayhem
The first teaser for Pixar's Turning Red has been released. The movie is written and directed by Domee Shi, who also made the Oscar-winning Pixar short Bao , and it releases on March 11, 2022. The trailer starts with a 13-year-old girl named Mei Lee (Rosalie Chiang) taking a math test in her classroom. Unfortunately her mom Ming (Killing Eve's Sandra Oh) is lurking outside, and the ensuing commotion causes Mei Lee to get very stressed--at which point she transforms, Hulk-style, into a giant red panda. From this early teaser it looks like another funny and inventive Pixar movie, and it should deliver on the promise of the utterly charming Bao. Check the trailer out below. An official synopsis has also been released for Turning Red. It reads, "Young actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice to Mei Lee, a 13-year-old who suddenly 'poofs' into a giant red panda when she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices Mei Lee's protective, if not slightly overbearing …
