Today on IGN, Sony is once again hiking up the prices of the PS5 in select regions like New Zealand, the UK, Australia, and Europe. This move comes as a response to economic challenges, leading to the digital edition now costing €499.99 in Europe and £429.99 in the UK. Surprisingly, the US remains unaffected this time, with Sony strategically avoiding price increases in its largest market. Meanwhile, in the world of War Zone, the resurrection of the beloved Verdansk map has reignited the flames of nostalgia among players, with positive feedback pouring in for the casual mode.
The return of Verdansk in War Zone has sparked a resurgence in player numbers, with the developers aiming to honor the game's past glory while introducing new elements for 2025. The casual mode's unique gameplay, starting with AI battles and progressing to real player encounters, has been well-received by the community. On a different note, Assassin's Creed Shadows emerges as the second bestselling game in the US, following Monster Hunter Wilds. Despite delays and development challenges, Ubisoft finds success with this title, potentially signaling a positive shift for the company after a rocky period in 2024.
