Today, Ubisoft holds the rights to the license, and players are currently enjoying Rainbow Six Siege and The Division 2 while waiting for their successors.

19-Jul-2021, 9:00 am Fyra Frost News

The French developer continues to get into legal trouble that may be affecting the release of upcoming titles.

Things are getting a turn for the worse for Ubisoft this year. The French union Solidaires Informatique has filed a formal complaint against the company. It accuses several executives of taking advantage of their positions to harass multiple people and also targets Ubisoft itself for "institutional sexual harassment". Pretty much, another case of toxic work culture that will be taken to court, giving the French company a good headache for sure. Whether those accusations are...

The new handheld gaming device was announced...

16-Jul-2021, 11:00 am Fyra Frost News

Los Santos Tuners will add plenty of novelties to GTA Online next week for those that love to customize their cars.

It would be logical to think that so many years after the release of Grand Theft Auto V Rockstar Games would have launched already the next installment in the series but it has not happened. That does not mean that players have abandoned the game but just the opposite.
