Steam Store Experiencing Very Slow Load Times

The Steam store and community pages are currently very slow with overloaded regional servers. The issues coincide with the Steam API flickering between normal and offline while Deadlock's multiplayer API recovers.

Assassin’s Creed adds three new games to pipeline

Ubisoft is developing three new Assassin’s Creed titles—Codename Hexe, Jade, and Invictus—each with distinct approaches ranging from narrative-driven single-player to mobile open-world and PvP multiplayer.
