Next Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey leaked via keychain *Updated – Ubisoft confirms leak

The Internet will always catch you with your pants down. Whether it’s finding Drake’s baby mama or finding a person’s racist comments or acts in the past, the internet will make sure people discover it. The same can be said for the new Assassin’s Creed game. Jeuxvideo, a France gaming website, showed a merch left behind showing the title: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The new AC game looks to be set in Greece based on the Spartan logo.

Last year, a t-shirt depicting an assassin in Egpty was discovered by a NeoGaf user before Assassin’s Creed Origin was announced. Ubisoft hasn’t commented on the item but most 2018 game leaks seem to be true such as the new Pokemon game. Hopefully, this is not a new title for the main series as previously, Ubisoft stated they would only return to annual releases if they felt the series was on the “right track”. Origins was released last year and received raved reviews and it showed Ubisoft took the time to fully develop the game rather than churning them out.

Epic offers $100 million for Fortnite compared to other esports games

Epic Games, the gaming studio behind Fortnite, announced yesterday that they will provide $100,000,000 to fund prize pools for Fortnite competitions. How it will be distributed remains to be announced. Epic has stated that their approach “will be different…to be more inclusive, and focused on the joy of playing and watching the game.”

$100 million is the highest prize pool for any esports game event. Last year, Dota 2, Valve’s MOBA, had their International prize pool set at $24,687,919.00 thanks to players contributing to the pot bonus. It was split amongst the top 18 teams with 1st place taking about $10.8 million. How Fortnite will split the $100 million remains to be determined as this will be their first year hosting a prize pool.

Who will you be rooting for?
