Next week is a big one. Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches on the heels of new reporting that Ubisoft is looking to spin off the franchise into a standalone company potentially backed by Chinese conglomerate Tencent. The 2025 Game Developers Conference kicks off in San Francisco with talks from people behind some of the biggest hits and blockbusters. And the first day of spring officially arrives less than two weeks ahead of the Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2, which some analysts think will cost over $400 and ship in June. Before all that arrives, we’ll be taking a breath this weekend and spending time with these great games, which range from new indies to older gems.
