Next week, Assassin's Creed Shadows is getting its first DLC expansion, Claws of Awaji. But before Naoe and Yasuke take on the Sanzoku Ippa in a new island region on September 16, Ubisoft is releasing the 1.1.1 update for Assassin's Creed Shadows on September 11.

As part of the Claws of Awaji storyline, Naoe and Yasuke's ally, Junjiro, goes on a quest to meet a legendary bo master, which will unlock a bo staff for Naoe. However, Ubisoft's new update will give the bo staff to every player in the game for free--even if they don't have the DLC--starting on September 16.

The previous update raised the level cap to 80, but update 1.1.1 will push the cap to level 100. Players will receive two additional upgrade levels for unique buildings and three new hideout levels. For anyone who favors running stealth missions at night, upgrading to Nando level 2 will allow players to meditate and advance time to either 6 AM or 6 PM.

Disney Villainous: Unstoppable

$20 (was $25) | Releases October 15

Preorder at Amazon

Ravensburger's Villainous board game has seen tremendous growth since it first hit shelves in 2018 and now features various versions and expansions themed after Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel. However, the company is looking to make the game even easier to get into with the new Villainous: Unstoppable, a streamlined version of the main Disney version of the game that will be easier to set up and play. The game launches on October 15, and if you preorder now at Amazon, you can secure your copy at a slight discount for just $20 (was $25).

Disney Villainous: Unstoppable $20 (was $25) | Releases October 15

Disney Villainous: Unstoppable is a standalone game that can be played by itself without needing to purchase any other expansions or core sets--though it's also compatible with other Villainous releases if you want to expand the game.

Unstoppable is designed to introduce players to the Villainous universe, with simple rules, quick matches, and four playable villains (Maleficent, Ursula, Hades, and Scar). Matches take up to 30 minutes, with between two and four players using their villain's unique special abilities to thwart the other players as they attempt to reach their own goals.

Preorder at Amazon Villainous: Unstoppable

Need something to keep you busy until Villainous: Unstoppable arrives next month? There are plenty of excellent existing board games to choose from. For one, you can pick up the original Disney: Villainous, which is on sale for $30 (was $40). This version is a bit more in-depth than the new Villainous: Unstoppable, but the upshot is you can play as an expanded roster of Disney antagonists like Captain Hook, Maleficent, Jafar, Ursula, Queen of Hearts, and Prince John. You can also combine it with the many standalone expansions that add even more characters, including the Perfectly Wretched expansion that features Pete, Cruella De Vil, and Mother Gothel, or the Evil Comes Prepared expansion with Scar, Ratigan, and Yzma. Each of these releases is playable on its own or in combination with other sets.

In addition to all these Disney: Villainous releases, there's also the aforementioned Star Wars and Marvel versions of the game--both of which also have their own standalone expansions. Check the list below for a round-up of more Villainous board game releases available at Amazon.

Jack Ryan had an impressive run on Prime Video, with its four seasons earning positive reviews from both viewers and critics alike. And while the series has officially concluded, John Krasinski will be stepping back into his spy shoes for an upcoming Jack Ryan film. While it doesn't have a release date yet, the new movie is expected to continue where the Prime Video streaming series left off, making now a great time to watch (or rewatch) the series' 30 episodes. Luckily, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: The Complete Series on 4K Blu-ray is on sale for just $56 (was $70), which is one of the better prices we've seen this year. A handful of other Jack Ryan Blu-rays are discounted--including a five-movie collection starring Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, and Ben Affleck.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: The Complete Series 4K Blu-ray: $56 (was $70) | Blu-ray: $50 (was $60)

This 8-disc collection includes all 30 episodes of Jack Ryan across each of its four seasons in 4K with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos 3D audio support. It also includes a few exclusive deleted scenes for each season. While the 4K edition is on sale for $56 (was $70), you can also pick up Jack Ryan: The Complete Series on standard Blu-ray for $50 (was $60). Buying this Complete Series is much cheaper than buying individual Blu-rays for all four seasons, though if you already own the first three seasons, Jack Ryan: The Final Season on 4K Blu-ray is discounted to just $13.60 (was $39).

See at Amazon (4K Blu-ray) See at Amazon (Blu-ray) Jack Ryan: 5-Film Collection 4K Blu-ray: $49 (was $70) | Blu-ray: $16 (was $23)

Krasinski wasn't the first to play Jack Ryan. In fact, Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine have all starred as the spy on the big screen--and you can pick up their five films with this convenient bundle. The 4K Blu-ray format is $49 (was $70), while the standard Blu-ray edition is quite a bit cheaper at $16 (was $23). Note that the 4K Blu-ray bundle also includes standard Blu-ray and digital copies, plus support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Audio. Regardless of which you choose, you'll get a long list of bonus features for each of the five films, including commentary tracks, interviews from the cast and crew, theatrical trailers, deleted scenes, and more.

Of course, another way to enjoy the Jack Ryan series is by signing up for Amazon Prime. All four seasons are available for streaming on Prime Video, and since you unlock all sorts of other savings by being a member, it's a pretty enticing offer. In fact, you can get a 30-day trial for free--so if you watch an episode a day, you can get through the entire Jack Ryan saga without dropping a dime. Prime costs $15/month or $139/year.

This week, Apple unveiled its next wave of hardware, including four new iPhone models and the next generations of the AirPods Pro and Apple Watch--and Apple users who are looking to grab the new releases can preorder several of the devices now. While the new iPhone 17 and iPhone Air are easily the marquee announcements of the presentation, we'll have to wait until September 12 for preorders to open. In the meantime, preorders for the new AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch Series 11 are now open at multiple online retailers. Both devices launch on September 19, so you only have a few days left to reserve these devices ahead of release. If you're interested in doing so, we'll go over where you can preorder the AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch Series 11 online.

AirPods Pro 3 $249 | Releases September 19

The new AirPods Pro 3 are a smaller, more powerful iteration of Apple's premium earbuds, featuring new functionality like in-ear audio translation powered by Apple AI. The feature is similar to the live translation features found on Google's Pixel Buds, allowing you to listen along as the earbuds translate spoken words into your language of choice in real-time. Along with audio translations, the AirPods Pro 3 can connect to iOS devices to provide text translation as well.

The other big new feature for the AirPods Pro 3 is an integrated heart rate sensor--the smallest heart rate sensor in an Apple device yet. This means you can track workouts and get additional health data tracking just from the AirPods Pro 3 alone.

There are also several spec upgrades and feature overhauls compared to previous AirPods Pro models, including 4x more effective active noise cancelling (ANC) compared to the original AirPods Pro (and twice as effective compared to the AirPods Pro 2), plus new foam-infused eartips for added passive noise isolation. They also feature enhanced 3D spatial listening and hearing aid functionality, IP57 sweat-proof and waterproof materials, and longer battery life (up to 10 hours during normal listening, or 8 hours with ANC).

The AirPods Pro 3 launch September 19 and will ship with a charging case and five eartip sizes. Preorders are available now for $250 at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Apple's online store. Best Buy is offering a few preorder bonuses, including three free months of Apple Fitness+, three months of Apple Music, and two months of Apple TV+.

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Best Buy Preorder at Walmart Apple Watch Series 11 Starts at $399 | Releases September 19

The Apple Watch Series 11 introduces several upgrades, including a more durable design that Apple says is twice as scratch-resistant as previous models. There's also an integrated 5G modem for faster connectivity. The battery life has also been extended to 24 hours on a single charge.

Unsurprisingly, the wearable sports several new and expanded health tracking features. This includes menstrual and mental health monitoring, as well as expanded heart rate tracking with hypertension alerts and more detailed Sleep Score information. The Apple Watch Series 11 now factors in additional data like bedtime routines, sleep duration, and heart rate fluctuations throughout the night.

The Apple Watch Series 11 launches September 19 and will be available in 42mm and 46mm watch face sizes with both GPS-only and GPS + Cellular models. You can also select from multiple bands and face styles and colors, including jet black, silver, rose gold, and space gray. Preorders are available at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Apple's online store. Pricing varies between each of the models; here's a quick breakdown:

• Apple Watch Series 11 42mm
  • GPS with Aluminum Case and Sports Band -- $399
  • GPS + Cellular with Aluminum Case and Sports Band -- $499
  • GPS with Titanium Case and Sports Band -- $699

From Software's games tend to be challenging for most players, and the developer is making things even harder with Elden Ring Nightreign's new Deep of Night mode. Before that launches later this week, Elden Ring Nightreign has received patch 1.02.2 with new bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. From Software has also shared a video that breaks down some of the changes coming in Deep of Night.

One of the ways Deep of Night will keep players on edge is that they won't know which Night Lord they're actually facing until the battle begins. Flexibility is going to be the key to overcoming those battles, and the video suggests preparing relic presets before going into those fights.

More powerful enemies will appear throughout Deep of Night, and players will have the opportunity to pick up weapons that can dispatch them. However, those weapons will have a detrimental effect on player characters that may make battles even more grueling. As players go deeper into Deep of Night, their enemies will become increasingly difficult.

Halo Infinite's latest update just introduced a fan-favorite game mode that will have players nostalgic for Halo: Reach.

Yes, Invasion has made its Halo Infinite debut, just in time for the 15th anniversary of Bungie's last Halo game on September 14. The asymmetrical, one-sided objective mode originally saw Spartans and Elites attacking or defending in Halo: Reach, with the objective for the attackers changing depending on what phase of the map was currently being played. Each team also sported unique weapon loadout options depending on whether they were on the Spartan or Elite side, further emphasizing the mode's asymmetrical nature.

As broken down in a Halo Waypoint blog, the Invasion in Halo Infinite is mostly as players remember, minus the ability to play as Elites. Instead, one team will play as Spartans affected by a malignant Banished AI and will sport more Banished/Covenant weapon loadouts similar to that used by the Elite team in Halo: Reach. The mode also originally featured the ability to spawn on a "buddy" on the same team, a feature returning for Halo: Infinite's version of the game mode.

Microsoft is launching a new Gears of War T-shirt and hoodie, and all proceeds will go to the Crisis Text Line, a nonprofit that provides free, 24/7, confidential mental health support to anyone who needs it.

The new shirt and hoodie, which were designed by Ratta Rodriguez, are available now to buy at the Gears of War shop. However, the items are only up for sale until September 24.

"The rapidly rising rates of suicide, depression and loneliness concern us deeply and we believe in the opportunity to come together to reduce and prevent further suffering," developer The Coalition said.

I started watching Digimon around the same time as Pokemon. As a child, I didn't really think about the two competing with each other--I liked both. Pokemon entertained me with its lighthearted antics and the catchy rhythms on Pikachu's Jukebox. Meanwhile, Digimon kept me invested with the chemistry between the characters and their relatable struggles.

Digimon's stories forced me to think about my life in a way that Pokemon didn't, and I carried those lessons with me into adulthood long after I stopped watching. I've stayed connected to Pokemon largely thanks to its video games and the marketing madness that has solidified its international presence. But, even now, I feel Digimon beats Pokemon when it comes to storytelling.

This isn't a particularly rare opinion. Years later, fans who watched Digimon in the late '90s and early 2000s periodically wonder where the series went wrong and why it isn't as popular as Pokemon, even though they still remember the stories fondly. While I mainly admire the anime series, some folks would even argue the Digimon video games also have Pokemon beat in terms of story.

Innocn produces a bunch of great, budget-friendly monitors. I personally have been using one of its 40-inch models for years--whether it's working or gaming, it's handled everything I throw at it with ease. Amazon is now discounting several Innocn 49-Inch Curved Gaming Monitors, all of which are billed as limited-time deals that'll likely end in the coming days. Some are discounted by over $300, making this a great time to be in the market. So if you have the space on your desk and want a gaming monitor the size of a small TV, take a look at these reliable super ultrawide displays.

See all at Amazon Innocn Monitor Deals

• Innocn 49-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor (1080p, 144Hz) -- $550 ($750)
• Innocn 49-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor (1440p, 120Hz) -- $617.49 ($495)
• Innocn 49-Inch Curved OLED Gaming Monitor (1440p, 144Hz) -- $712 ($1,000)
• Innocn 49-Inch Curved OLED Gaming Monitor (1440p, 240Hz) -- $945 ($1,260)

Innocn 49-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor (1080p, 144Hz) $550 (was $750)

• Resolution: 3840 x 1080
• Refresh Rate: 144Hz
• Response Time: 1ms

With a 3840 x 1080 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and 1ms response time, this monitor should work for both a dedicated battlestation or a hyper-productive home office. The stand can tilt and swivel, and its height is adjustable. As for ports, you'll find one DisplayPort, one USB-C port, one HDMI port, a 3.5mm audio port, and several USB-A ports for all your accessories.

Color performance meets the standards for Display HDR 400, and Adaptive-Sync should bring images to life with impressive clarity for a $550 display. The monitor can even be configured to display inputs from two different sources. That's a pretty nifty feature, and since the product is currently matching its lowest price ever, it's the ideal time to scoop it up.

Be sure to also take a look at the Innocn 49-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor (1440p, 120Hz), which boasts a reduced refresh rate but impressive 1440p resolution. It's a bit more expensive at $617.49 (was $795), but it could be worth the extra cash if you're accustomed to 1440p resolution.

See at Amazon Innocn 49-Inch Curved OLED Gaming Monitor (1440p, 144Hz) $712 (was $1,000)

• Resolution: 5120 x 1440
• Refresh Rate: 144Hz
• Response Time: 0.03ms

Innocn also has a pair of 49-inch options with OLED displays, which offer more vibrant color ranges and are more accurate when rendering deep blacks.

Along with the OLED display, this edition offers 1440p resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. It has even better response times at just 0.03ms. The stand is highly adjustable (tilt, swivel, height), and it's loaded with ports, including three HDMI, one USB-A, one USB-B, one USB-C, and a 3.5mm jack.

Display HDR 400 standards are met, so you're all but guaranteed a vibrant image, and Adaptive Sync tech ensures smooth gameplay. Like the above monitors, this one allows input from two separate sources.

At just over $700, this is quite the deal, but if you want higher refresh rates, check out Innocn's OLED model with 240Hz refresh rate for $945.24 (was $1,260).

Modern sci-fi survival-horror games owe a lot to Alien, as decades after it was first released, Ridley Scott's film is still seen as the benchmark for cosmic terror. Naturally, we've seen the franchise adapted into several video games, and if Dead Space creator Glen Schofield were given the chance to put his own spin on the series, he'd do it--if he had complete creative freedom to do so.

"Let's say I took on a license," Schofield said to PC Gamer. "Which I really don't want to do--I want to make my own. Let's say somebody came to me and said, 'We're going to give you the Alien license.' Immediately, I could show you, I don't know, maybe 100 different aliens I've made in Midjourney over the last two years, just because I like it. So yeah, I would love to make an Alien game. I have to own the creative. That's not even negotiable. Because I won't make a great game unless it's mine and I'm so ingrained in it--then I will give you 130%."

This probably won't end well for Isaac.

Fortnite's bug-filled Shock 'N Awesome season certainly invokes Helldivers 2's galactic war against the Terminids, but don't expect an official collab between the two games anytime soon.

That's according to Shams Jorjani, CEO of Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead. In a response to a question from a fan on the Helldivers 2 Discord about whether Super Earth's Helldivers could make an appearance in Fortnite (via VideoGamer), he said a collab between the two third-person shooters is "not a priority." However, Jorjani didn't rule out the possibility of a crossover entirely.

"But who knows one day," Jorjani said. "[Fortnite] is cool. And quite big."

Looking to upgrade your home office ahead of the dark winter months? Amazon is currently discounting the wildly popular Claiks Standing Desk to just $95 (was $120), which matches its lowest price ever. It's holding down a rating of 4.5 stars with over 4,000 reviews--and while it's probably not going to be as luxurious as something from Razer or FlexiSpot, it looks like an absolute bargain at under $100. There's also another standing desk from ErGear that's a bit more expensive, but it too is budget-friendly and earning rave reviews from buyers.

Claiks Electric Standing Desk (48") $95 (was $120)

This version of the standing desk is 48 inches long and 24 inches deep. That's a pretty good size for most rooms, as it's small enough to fit the majority of spaces yet large enough to hold your monitor, keyboard, and other accessories while still giving you enough real estate to maneuver your mouse. Only the rustic brown color is seeing the discount to $95, with all other models costing at least $127.

The Claiks Electric Standing Desk offers a load capacity of 176 pounds, is adjustable from 28.3 inches to 46.5 inches, and offers a quiet 45dB operating noise. You can even save your favorite heights to three buttons on its control panel, allowing you to quickly go from sitting to standing without difficulty. You'll find hooks off both sides of the desk for easy headphone and backpack storage, while its sturdy metal legs should keep it stable regardless of height. For $95, that's an impressive list of features.

See at Amazon ErGear Electric Standing Desk (47") $100 (was $140)

While the Claiks Electric Standing Desk is cheaper, this one from ErGear is also worth considering. It has the same 4.5-star rating--but it's received over 8,000 reviews. Dimensions are similar (47.2 x 23.6 inches), it's adjustable to similar heights (28.35 to 46.46 inches), and you'll find storage hooks on both ends of the desk.

There are only a few differences between this and the Claiks. For one, this is a standard black design, with a black surface and legs giving it a more minimalistic feel--compared to the rustic aesthetic of the desk above. It also features four programmable height buttons, giving you one more slot for your most-used settings. Beyond that, these two budget-friendly standing desks are quite similar, so be sure to check them both out before making a purchase.
