Image used with permission by copyright holderSimogo, the Swedish developer behind the delightful and innovative iOS game Device 6, has revealed its next project: The Sailor’s Dream. Much like Device 6, The Sailor’s Dream discards established mobile gaming tropes in favor of experimental storytelling. In fact, this new game will go even further in that regard than its predecessor by not including any explicit puzzles at all. Instead, it will generate engagement through playful exploration as players piece together a nuanced, fractured narrative. The focus on environmental storytelling sounds similar in spirit to Digital Trends favorite Gone Home.
Gameplay will be a mix of non-linear exploration in an ocean full of islands, mixed with more linear sections that have yet to be revealed. Beautiful, 2D artwork and soothing, acoustic music by composer Jonathan Eng (who also contributed to Device 6) will be mixed with loads of text, coming again from Device 6 scribe Jonas Tarestad. Since piecing together the narrative is the game’s central focus, the developer is remaining quiet on story particulars. Hints from the trailer point toward a melancholy story of lost love.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity has a new name and no microtransactions
Ubisoft quietly confirmed new details on Assassin's Creed Infinity, a hub that's set to launch alongside Assassin's Creed Shadows, on the franchise's official Reddit on Friday. It not only revealed that Animus Hub would be the official name, but that the rewards would be free.
The post was in response to a datamined leak (since taken down via DMCA request) that purportedly revealed a lot of information about the Animus Hub and how it would integrate with Assassin's Creed Shadows. Along with revealing the new name, we learned that the Animus Hub would include a battle pass with cosmetics that can be purchased with Isu Coins, the in-game currency. This led to people assuming that there would be microtransactions involved.
