Assassin's Creed Game Canceled and Itagaki Passes Away at 58 - Nintendo Pow Block Episode 463

Описание: Support Boss Rush on Patreon:   / bossrushnetwork  

This week on Nintendo Pow Block, Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig dive into two major gaming stories making headlines.

Ubisoft has reportedly canceled plans for an Assassin’s Creed game set during the U.S. Reconstruction era — a project that would have featured a former slave fighting the Ku Klux Klan — citing concerns it was “too political” amid rising U.S. tensions. The hosts break down what this means for the future of the Assassin’s Creed series and Ubisoft’s creative direction.

Then, the team pays tribute to legendary developer Tomonobu Itagaki, the iconic creator behind Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden, who passed away at 58. They reflect on his lasting influence on action games, his bold personality, and the legacy he leaves behind.
