Highly anticipated free PS5 RPG NTE: Neverness to Everness gets positive response from players

NTE was released today on the PS Store, where it has already garnered a stellar response. The game boasts 4.34/5 stars based on nearly 3,000 verified votes (and counting) at the time of this writing.

Described as a “supernatural” RPG, NTE has us playing as an “unlicensed Anomaly Hunter.” “The story begins in the city of Hethereau, where you’ll join the crew at Eibon, a rundown antique shop that keeps the lights on by taking Anomaly commissions from anyone willing to pay,” an official overview reads. “Alongside a diverse cast of extraordinary companions, you’ll unravel urban mysteries, ride out adventures full of laughs and heartbreak, and write your own stories in the neon-lit streets.”

Check out a new trailer below:

Since NTE is a free-to-play game, you don’t need a PS Plus subscription. However, Premium members can exclusively cloud stream the title.

Union accuses Apple of unlawful discrimination against represented workers

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) union has accused Apple of unlawfully discriminating against the unionized employees of the company’s Towson, Maryland retail store. IAM has filed an unfair labor practice charge against Apple with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after the company announced on April 9 that it was shutting down three of its US stores. One of those locations was the Towson retail outlet, which employed nearly 90 workers and became the first Apple Store in the country to unionize back in 2022.

In its complaint, IAM said that Apple didn’t offer the employees it represents the transfer opportunities it provided to non-unionized employees from its other stores. Unlike those non-represented employees, Towson personnel were allegedly told that they had to reapply for positions through the same process as external candidates. “Apple is denying union-represented workers the same opportunities it is giving to others — and doing so because these workers chose to organize,” the organization said. “That is discrimination, and it is exactly what federal labor law is designed to prevent.”

In addition to the Towson location, Apple also shut down its stores in Trumbull, CT, Escondito, CA. Back when the closures were announced, IAM said that “Apple’s claim that the collective bargaining agreement prevents relocation is simply false and raises serious concerns that [the] closure is a cynical attempt to bust the union.”

PS5 Getting Remake of Fan Favorite PS3 Action Adventure Game – Report

Reliable insiders have hinted at a PS5 remake of a popular PS3 action adventure game that kick-started Ubisoft’s biggest franchise ever. We’ve heard rumblings of an Assassin’s Creed 1 (2007) remake many times over the years, but now two known leakers have added weight to those rumors.

From PS3 to PS5: When should we expect a remake of the first Assassin’s Creed game?

After Ubisoft announced its worst-kept secret, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, insider Tom Henderson claimed that “at least one more Assassin’s Creed game is in development as a remake.” Writing on his website Insider Gaming, Henderson added that Ubisoft will be closely monitoring the response to Black Flag Resynced.

Quoting the same rumor, French insider j0nathan — known for their accurate Ubisoft leaks — tweeted that he heard about an Assassin’s Creed remake as far back as 2023 from one of their contacts.

These rumors do make sense. 2027 will mark Assassin’s Creed franchise’s 20th anniversary (yes, we’re all THAT old), and the only game in the series that can’t currently be played on modern consoles is the one that started it all for Ubisoft. For PlayStation players specifically, it’s also the only game in the series that never received trophies, as it was released before Sony launched the feature.

If these rumors are true, we’re expecting to visit Damascus as Altaïr Ibn-LaʼAhad in 2027.

As for the response to Black Flag Resynced, given that the game has skyrocketed to the top of preorder charts on multiple storefronts (including the PS Store) across the globe and has held its position there, we have a hunch that it’ll be a commercial success for Ubisoft.
