Ubisoft has five major AAA games due to release before the end of the next financial year, one of which is yet to be revealed. In the company’s latest financial report, they boast of having “the most ambitious line-up of the industry”, and tease a game that has not yet been announced.

On page 15 the report, Ubisoft’s slate for the next year includes Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, Rainbow Six Quarantine, Gods & Monsters, and “one other unannounced AAA title coming from our biggest franchises.”

Of course, there’s an obvious question worth asking here–is it Splinter Cell? It’s not super likely, although we could see Sam Fisher return for the next-generation of consoles, as Ubisoft’s Yves Guillemot has said that the character and franchise could return once Ubisoft is able to “do something novel” with it. Sequels to The Crew, Driver, and Prince of Persia also feel less likely than, say, a new Far Cry, considering how well 4 and 5 sold.

Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang make the leap to CG feature animation in Scoob!, a sweet, amusing family flick that was supposed to open in theaters until well, you know, and is now debuting on VOD instead. At a brisk 90 minutes, Scoob! is a nice, light snack for parents and kids stuck at home these days, with enough silly gags for children to get a kick out of and enough knowing references for adults to appreciate.

The more one knows about classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons the better as Scoob! is essentially a shared universe film. New viewers will learn enough about these reimagined and contemporized versions of Blue Falcon, Dynomutt, Dick Dastardly, Dee Dee Skyes and the like to get it — this isn’t exactly a complex mythology audiences have to wrap their heads around here — but the greater the knowledge one has of these old toons the more all the references and Easter eggs will be appreciated. The standout among the film’s Hanna-Barbera additions is by far Mark Wahlberg’s obliviously unready yet overconfident superhero Blue Falcon, who plays a much larger role here than some might expect, with Jason Isaacs’ gleefully mean Dick Dastardly a close second.

As for the hotly debated casting of Will Forte as Shaggy, while it’s understandable that some fans may have grown attached to Matthew Lillard’s incarnation of the character (in both live-action and animation) and are upset that a new actor is voicing Shaggy here, it bears reminding that Lillard himself took over the role following another actor’s iconic interpretation and faced backlash online at the time. Forte’s interpretation of the character is fine, perhaps sounding a bit less scratchy than Lillard or Casey Kasem’s voices, but his Shaggy is as sweet, dopey, and easily rattled as his predecessors.

Of the main Mystery Inc. quintet, Fred — ably voiced by Zac Efron — is the character who has been tweaked the most. He has a bit more personality and is less wooden than some past incarnations, his ascot is gone, and while he still does all the driving, Fred’s not exactly the team’s de facto leader here as each member gets their moment to take charge or make an important decision. That said, this movie is decidedly a Shaggy and Scooby story through and through. An extended pre-credits prologue reveals not only how young Shaggy met little Scoob but also how the Mystery Inc. gang came to be and their first ghostbusting mission as kids. Shaggy and Scooby’s meet-cute is as adorkable as you’d hope, with each character filling a void in the other’s life. The movie has a lot of heart and keeps the thematic emphasis throughout on friendship — not just between humans but also between people and their pets.

The film’s exploration of the human-canine bond goes beyond just Shaggy and Scoob to Blue Falcon and Dynomutt and even to villain Dick Dastardly, who fans will recall had his own four-legged sidekick named Muttley in the old cartoons. Dogs, in this story, are there to help transform the characters of their owners. Best friends have their ups and downs even if one is a cowardly teen and the other a talking dog. The movie’s messaging isn’t terribly novel or deep as it is aimed squarely at children and dog lovers so anything beyond the simplistic would arguably belong in a different sort of movie altogether.

Scoob! is also a save-the-world adventure film, complete with superhero allies and a big bad with a robot army. The action is plentiful, with lots of sci-fi gadgetry and vehicular set-pieces thanks to Blue Falcon and Dick Dastardly. The film’s CG animation retains the recognizable traits of the iconic Scooby-Doo characters without making them look like yet another riff on Pixar and DreamWorks’ styles, but 2015’s The Peanuts Movie remains the most faithful adaptation yet of an original 2D cartoon to CG feature animation.

Apex Legends recently released its Season 5 patch, which started the game’s new season and introduced a new playable character, Loba. But there were new issues that popped up too, with numerous players on the game’s Reddit noting that they were facing issues with hit registration.

Thankfully, this issue has been swiftly dealt with. A tweet from the official Apex Legends Twitter account has informed everyone that a server side patch has been released, which seeks to address the issue. Players should find that there are no longer issues with hits registering.

This will make it a bit easier to work through Season 5’s Battle Pass, and get to grips with Loba’s abilities.

May 2020 marks the 10th anniversary of Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment, which makes Season 5 extra special. The new season was hit by another bug that locked players from using certain characters, but that has also since been addressed.

Guilty Gear Strive has been delayed into next year. Developer Arc System Works has released a statement from Takeshi Yamanaka, the game’s producer, via Twitter, explaining the delay.

The tweet includes the statement from Yamanaka, who says that the company has decided to push back the release of Guilty Gear Strive from late 2020 to early 2021. The post notes that the company’s staff and business partners have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with every aspect of the development schedule experiencing delays.

The team will be looking to make good use of the extra time, using all the feedback received from the closed beta test to improve the game. The closed beta ran from April 16 to 19, and featured seven characters for players to try out.
