Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate revealed, arrives October 23

Ubisoft announced officially today this fall’s iteration of the Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.

The full unveiling took some time to directly address Assassin’s Creed Unity‘s failures while also reminding us that humans did, in fact, make the game and have feelings.

Then we jumped into learning a bit about the game. The leaked material so far has been pretty accurate.

As expected, Syndicate takes place in Victorian-era London. You’ll play as Jacob Frye. His connection to the assassins isn’t yet clear – though it seems like it may come via a friend from India – but so far his primary interest doesn’t seem to be one of simple revenge but more of an interest in the exploitation of workers to make unjust profit, mirroring some of today’s political questions. If this holds true it would be a refreshing change from many of the past Creed games.

Alongside Jacob is his sister Evie, described as being calculating and guiding versus Jacob’s passionate brutality. She wasn’t specifically shown as being playable, but with every other leak proving true, the idea that she is isn’t a far-fetched one.

I’ve personally been begging for an Assassin’s Creed to be set in this city and era for years, and I’m looking forward to seeing if Ubisoft has their tech under control this time to give us the experience we’re hoping for.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is set to release Oct. 23, 2015 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
