The duo met in the round of 16 last season, with Atletico Madrid winning the first leg 2-0 only for Juventus to come roaring back in the second leg and qualify for the quarterfinals by virtue of a 3-2 aggregate win. The Italian giants, however, came unstuck against Ajax in the quarterfinals as their wait for a Champions League crown extended to 23 years. Both clubs have undergone major overhauls in the summer, with Juventus spending $84 million on Ajax prodigy Matthijs de Ligt and signed Adrien Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey on free transfers from Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, respectively....

SPOILERS FOR ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA AHEADBasim is not only a popular Assassin’s Creed Valhalla character, but he has wormed his way into the hearts of many fans and cemented himself as one of its most popular characters overall. Part of it is, no doubt, how he is a reincarnation of the Isu Loki, and that gives AC Rift a lot of things to explore. By all accounts, AC Rift is based in Baghdad and will likely focus on Basim’s past, perhaps showing how Loki overtook Basim’s mind....

Ever since the Assassin’s Creed Sisterhood was founded, it has had the expressed goal of “highlight[ing] and appreciat[ing] the women of AC, in the games, the dev teams, and community.” Indeed, a simple search through the tag on Twitter shows how much of this is the case, with the current work with Discord just being a recent example of the community’s good work, but it’s a beautiful thing with a dark past....

Sometimes, a game needs a little something extra to be to a player’s personal taste, and that’s where the modding community comes in. Whether it by a visual upgrade, a change in gameplay, or inserting a completely different franchise into the game, modding can do a lot for players....

These legendary beasts, such as the Blood Swine in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, are tough mini-bosses with somewhat unpredictable attack patterns compared to the rest of the game’s enemies. In the “Binding Fate” quest, gamers are tasked to defeat the wolf Fenrir. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Tionontate ken Standing Stones Solution Fenrir is a large talking wolf that moves faster than one would think, making this Assassin’s Creed Valhalla boss fight extra difficult....

Players will need to defeat all fifteen Zealots in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in order to finish out the Order of the Ancients quest. Zealots are challenging fights focused on one-on-one combat rather than a group of enemies. It should be noted that if players engage in a Zealot fight around other enemy soldiers, the enemy soldiers will aid the Zealot, making for a much more difficult fight. One of the lowest level Zealots, Redwalda, is power level 90....

RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids - A Complete Guide To The Rathdown Build Up Quest One of the new sets found in Ireland is the Celtic Set, and the bracers (the armor for Eivor’s forearms) can be obtained fairly quickly after starting the DLC, however, sadly, the other pieces are all in other regions. They are all located either further west or north, which the player will explore a bit later, therefore this means that the Celtic Bracers are the best place to start when going after the full Celtic Set....

Still, it has had its ups and downs, and looking back it’s clear to see a lot of these now. One high point, of course, is how Valhalla includes several legacy skins, turning Eivor into Altair and more. This isn’t unusual for an Assassin’s Creed game, but that speaks to the popularity of these characters that players want these outfits in the game somehow. It’s not exactly a legacy skin, but one outfit turns Eivor into Basim, which is pretty meta considering the endgame....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla introduces a “pub game” called Orlog that functions a little like competitive Yahtzee. Players can challenge an NPC in a number of towns to a game and try to win that opponent’s “god’s favor,” which serves as a type of Hero Power a la Hearthstone. In fact, a lot of Orlog borrows from digital card games like Hearthstone. Players try to put “blockers” (think taunts) in the way to prevent them from taking damage, while also trying to poke holes in their opponent’s defense....

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Eivor travels from Norway to England. She also ventures out to Vinland at one point prior to her death there, where the game seizes the opportunity to really make AC Valhalla a prequel to AC3. This is important not just because she gives the Crystal Ball to Connor’s eventual tribe, but how her travels can be used to reference other games. For example, the Wrath of the Druids DLC also sends her to Ireland....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla sales increased 66 percent for the week ending on December 19, according to GamesIndustry.biz, in-part due to discounts ahead of the holiday season. Ubisoft has also discounted games like Immortals Fenyx Rising at Best Buy in the last week, and that practice served the studio well. This was the third time in the last 15 years that a non-FIFA or Call of Duty game topped the boxed charts in this period, joining 2011’s The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim and 2018’s Red Dead Redemption 2....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla takes place in 9th century Europe when Vikings were departing from Norway in search of greener pastures and finding them in England–much to the displeasure of the powers that be in England. And while Valhalla is also confirmed to put emphasis on real-world battle and diplomacy in equal measure, these Vikings will also be hanging onto their roots and the accompanying rich mythology.

The Serie A club confirmed on their official Twitter account on Sunday that the defender, 31, had tragically passed away. Fiorentina were due to play Udinese in the Italian top flight but that game - along with all other Serie A fixtures - were called off.

The British-Swedish company, which developed the vaccine with the University of Oxford in the U.K., became the third company in a week to reveal it may have found a vaccine that was highly effective at preventing symptoms.

The RT-AC87U has many claims to fame, Asus would be keen to tell you, including that it was the first router to offer a 4×4 antenna capability combined with MU-MIMO technology.

However, those devices will need MU-MIMO enabled Wi-Fi radios inside to take advantage of the feature....

Asus has solved these issues entirely in this new model, resulting in a laptop that feels muchbetter-made.

We were drawn to it as it’s easy enough to import, runs stock Android and has a whopping 5,000mAh battery that lasts ages.
