🎮 Multi-platformGTA 6 Fans Are Getting Excited Again For A Date In August, As Take-Two Makes A Notable Change
Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/prewrite-preorders-are-live-for-grand-theft-auto-vi/1100-6539953/) have finally arrived. New screenshots(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/gta-6-screenshots-images/2900-6525/) were also recently released. The game's November 19 release date is locked in. But Rockstar Games is still staying relatively quiet about the specifics of GTA 6, like what new kinds of gameplay experiences it provides. To date, all that's been revealed are screenshots, story descriptions, and cinematic trailers. Fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of any new information about the game, or a third trailer, and while it remains to be seen when that could happen, fans are now circling a new date on their calendars: August 7. That is the day that Rockstar owner Take-Two will release its next quarterly sales report(https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/take-two-interactive-software-inc-report-first-quarter-fiscal-7). Intriguingly, Take-Two is changing things up in terms of how it shares this update. Take-Two's quarterly reports, and the Q&A sessions that follow, are historically held after the market closes at 4 PM ET. But this new report on August 7 will be released before the market opens, with a conference call following at 8 AM ET. The market will then open that day at 9:30 AM ET. People are speculating as to what this could mean, but Take-Two has not offered any official explanation for the change-up. Many companies report earnings before the bell and many report after. The notable bit here is that Take-Two normally reports after the market closes, not before it opens. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/GTA6Fishing.jpg?w=1024) GTA 6 is coming this November. In any event, there is precedent for Rockstar announcing new GTA 6 info around the time of Take-Two's earnings reports, so the excitement is not unfounded. Take-Two has also said it will begin the marketing campaign for GTA 6 this summer(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-gta-6-parent-company-is-talking-about-eating-red-meat-for-breakfast/1100-6537914/), so people are waiting for that as well. GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game will not be available on a disc, and that just makes sense.(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-is-not-releasing-with-a-disc-and-that-just-makes-sense-in-2026/)

🎮 Multi-platformAssassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Delivers The Series’ Best Reviews Since 2013
The first big release of July 2026(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-biggest-new-game-releases-of-july-2026/) has set sail, and so far, it looks like Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced(https://www.gamespot.com/games/assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced/) is hitting a critical high note that the series hasn't seen since Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. The remake of the 2013 game currently has a metascore of 84, a number that previous games have not reached for a very long time. In comparison, the original Black Flag has a metascore of 88, and the highest review score aggregate between that game and its remake was Assassin's Creed Odyssey at 83. One thing that is worth pointing out is that Assassin's Creed Black Flag's metascore was gathered from 36 reviews on GameSpot's sister site Metacritic, while Black Flag Resynced's data stems from 83 critic reviews. https://youtu.be/niSS6zePbYs 2013'S Black Flag may be a critical high point for the franchise, but it's not the highest-rated game across the mainline series. That honor belongs to Assassin's Creed 2, which has a metascore of 90, while Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood clocks in at 89. Here's a closer look at how Assassin's Creed games have scored over the years: - Assassin's Creed -- 81 - Assassin's Creed 2 -- 90 - Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood -- 89 - Assassin's Creed: Revelations -- 80 - Assassin's Creed 3 -- 84 - Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag -- 88 - Assassin's Creed Rogue -- 72 - Assassin's Creed Unity -- 72 - Assassin's Creed Syndicate -- 76 - Assassin's Creed Origins -- 81 - Assassin's Creed Odyssey -- 83 - Assassin's Creed Valhalla -- 80 - Assassin's Creed Mirage -- 76 - Assassin's Creed Shadows -- 81 - Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced -- 84 While most of the reviews have been positive, our own one wasn't as jazzed with the changes made to what some consider to be the peak of Assassin's Creed games. "You will see why the original game was the de facto pirate video game for years. But you will also find a remake that doesn't manage to take the crown from the very game that it's remaking," Jordan Ramée wrote in GameSpot's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/black-flag-resynced-is-a-bad-remake-of-peak-assassins-creed/).
