Ubisoft’s franchises have been staples of the gaming industry for years, with Assassin’s Creed in particular being a semi-yearly release that gamer’s have come to expect along with a new Call of Duty or FIFA. With Assassin’s Creed Valhalla breaking sales records during its first week of release in November of last year, outselling all previous games in the series and having the strongest PC launch of any Assassin’s Creed title, the company evidently feels like they’re in a strong enough position to revisit the concept of a Ubisoft theme park....

The parting shot against the Iran-backed rebels has been interpreted as a final show of support for Saudi Arabia—which has been leading a coalition military campaign against the Houthis in neighboring Yemen—and another move to hamstring President-Elect Joe Biden, who hopes to both revive dialogue with Tehran and press the Saudis on human rights abuses. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the new “foreign terrorist organization” designation of the Houthis—officially called Ansar Allah—will take effect on January 19, one day before Biden takes office....

Mickelson put up a second straight dud — albeit a five-stroke improvement — as he limped to the finish in Brookline, Mass....
