Today is July 11, 2020

We celebrate the 14-year anniversary of Prey for the Xbox 360 and PC, the 11-year anniversary of Japan's release of Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies for the Nintendo DS, and the three-year anniversary of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age for the PS4, which added better technical performance, trophy support and an updated soundtrack to the original game.

Ubisoft acknowledges Far Cry 6 leak in cheeky teaser
A Far Cry 6 leak on Hong Kong's PlayStation Store has seemingly revealed the key art, setting, synopsis, and release date for an upcoming sequel in Ubisoft's first-person shooter series.

The listing for the game appears to confirm that Giancarlo Esposito (a.k.a Gus Fring from Breaking Bad) will be Far Cry 6's new central villain.

There's also details explaining how this next title in the franchise will be launching on PS5 and Xbox Series X in addition to PS4 and Xbox One, with a free next-gen upgrade available for anyone who purchases a copy of the game on the latter systems.
