Video game updates are an incredibly funny thing, mostly because I come from a time where they weren't a thing at all, apart from the odd second printing that patched some things here and there.

Издание Origami сообщило об отмене разработки кооперативного расширения для Assassin's Creed Shadows, проходившего под кодовым названием LEAGUE. Над проектом трудилась команда из 85 человек в студии Ubisoft Annecy, известной по созданию Steep и Riders Republic.
