Assassin’s Creed has known to become one of the biggest RPG franchises that are usually focused on different periods. The most recent instalment Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is set during the Viking invasion of England. However, it seems like the next game will be exploring parts of India. © Ubisoft India has been featured in Assassin’s Creed previously in the form of a platforming game called Assassin's Creed Chronicles. However, it seems like the main line of games will now be shifting its focus to India. A new leak by a user on 4chan claims that the next Assassin’s Creed game will be set in 17th Century India, a period when European countries such as the British, French, Portuguese amongst others established their colonies in the region. © Ubisoft The leaker claims Ubisoft will be including all of present-day India, Bangladesh and part of Pakistan in its map and shared an image of the “draft map.” The game is said to focus on British East India Company and the Dutch East India company who will form a rivalry amongst each other. © 4Chan There was no mention of any form of naval gameplay; however it is worthy to point out that Naval gameplay has been a key mechanic in previous Assassin’s Creed games. Since India is a peninsular country, i.e surrounded by water from three sides; it would make sense to include some form of naval gameplay. Also, East India Company was able to establish a colony in India because of its advancements in naval navigation and superiority. Much like the new games, the game might let players choose a male or female protagonist in the game. It is currently not known whether the protagonist would be of Indian origin. Other leaks suggest the game will launch only on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series for console gamers and not be made available for the previous generation. © Ubisoft Ubisoft usually releases a new Assassin’s Creed game every two years and it seems unlikely this rumoured game will release anytime soon. Since Assassin’s Creed Valhalla released only a few months ago, there’s still time for the next instalment to release. Source: 4Chan View the full article

Back in the day, when the World Wrestling Entertainment used to be World Wrestling Federation, chair shots to the head were allowed, blading your skin for blood was considered to be a mundane part of 'entertainment' and 'hardcore matches' were huge crowd-pullers. This time in the WWF was informally known as the 'Attitude Era' during which, the organisation boasted a studded main roster with in-ring performers like Triple H, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels making appearances on the franchise shows on a weekly basis. Having said that, there were two wrestlers at the time who were considered to be on the topmost level altogether. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan were literally considered to be the icons of the era, not just in the wrestling world but the whole entertainment sector. Hogan was a well-established star who had been the 'top guy' for the business for more than a decade and a half and had been selling out stadiums to capacity crowds wherever the WWF went. However, having put out some of the most memorable matches in the sport's history with opponents like Andre 'The Giant' and Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Hogan's age began to get the better of him. He wasn't as energetic, his slams didn't look powerful enough and he was getting injured way too often to maintain the status of WWF's poster boy. On the other hand, with a new found character as the electrifying People's Champion, The Rock was quickly gaining momentum in every city and town of the states and even across international borders. It was his time to shine and even the company had his back. Thus took place the 'Icon Vs Icon' duel at Wrestlemania 18. The match was perfectly booked as a 'passing of the torch' gesture. There were no titles on the line, no pre-match conditions put up, just two great athletes of different generations entertaining an extremely fortunate audience in a massive transitional battle. View this post on Instagram A post shared by therock (@therock) on Mar 18, 2019 at 5:26am PDT Hogan, who was known to have a big ego, was not the one to go down to just 'anyone'. In the past, he has refused to get pinned by Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. But The Rock wasn't just 'another guy' and Hogan accepted his presence. With his blessings and good wishes, Hogan got pinned at the hands of Johnson: “1… 2… 3...” and the rest is history.

Harry Kane equalled the record for Premier League goals in a calendar year with a hat-trick in a 3-0 win at Burnley/Tottenham Hotspur Twitter LONDON: Manchester City racked up a 17th consecutive Premier League victory after Sergio Aguero´s 100th and 101st Etihad Stadium goals inspired a 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday. Aguero scored twice and set up Raheem Sterling as Pep Guardiola´s side made it 18 wins and one draw in the first half of the season and provisionally opened up a 14-point lead at the top of the table. Harry Kane equalled the record for Premier League goals in a calendar year with a hat-trick in a 3-0 win at Burnley that lifted Tottenham Hotspur to fifth place, while third-place Chelsea drew 0-0 at Everton. Hailing Aguero, Guardiola said: "He is a special player, a legend, and I am so happy when he plays good and he is scoring goals." City are now two wins off the record for consecutive victories in Europe´s top five leagues, which was set by Guardiola´s Bayern Munich in 2013-14. They have already become the first team to score 100 goals in the English top flight in a single year since Liverpool in 1982. City took a 27th-minute lead when Aguero met Fernandinho´s cross with a diving header to bring up a century of goals in front of City´s fans since his 2011 move from Atletico Madrid. The Argentina striker´s dinked pass set up Sterling to smash home City´s second goal -- and his 16th of the season -- in the 53rd minute before Aguero headed in his second. City substitute Danilo completed the scoring late on, rubber-stamping a victory that sent Bournemouth into the relegation zone. Tottenham bounced back from their 4-1 loss at City to win at Burnley, who drop one place to seventh. Kane opened the scoring with a seventh-minute penalty at Turf Moor after Kevin Long was adjudged to have fouled Dele Alli and added two clean strikes in the second half. He has now scored 36 league goals in 2017, equalling Alan Shearer´s Premier League-era record, with a home game against Southampton on Tuesday still to come. "I am aware I´ve equalled Alan Shearer´s record," Kane told BT Sport. "Just going into this game, I thought I can get a couple and then there´s Southampton to play." Newcastle end winless run Everton continued their improvement under new manager Sam Allardyce by extending their unbeaten run to six league games with a dogged 0-0 draw at home to champions Chelsea. "I think this result is unfair," said Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte, whose side hit the bar through Everton defender Ashley Williams. "Everton deserve credit, but we deserved to win." Chelsea will fall five points below second-place Manchester United if Jose Mourinho´s side prevail at Leicester City in Saturday´s late game. Swansea City remain four points adrift of safety at the foot of the table after drawing 1-1 against Crystal Palace in their first game since the sacking of manager Paul Clement. Palace, now unbeaten in eight league games, took the lead through Luka Milivojevic´s penalty just before the hour. But Swansea, with player-manager Leon Britton in the dug-out, levelled 13 minutes from time when Jordan Ayew drilled home from outside the box. Joe Allen starred as Stoke City registered a timely 3-1 win over second-bottom West Bromwich Albion to ease some of the pressure on manager Mark Hughes. Wales midfielder Allen scored and set up a goal for Eric Choupo-Moting, with Ramadan Sobhi adding a late third after Salomon Rondon had replied for West Brom, who have gone 18 games without victory in all competitions. Newcastle United climbed out of the relegation zone after ending a nine-game winless run by edging West Ham United 3-2 in an entertaining encounter at London Stadium. After Marko Arnautovic gave West Ham an early lead, Newcastle hit back through Henri Saivet, Mohamed Diame and Christian Atsu. Andre Ayew responded in vain for West Ham, having earlier squandered a penalty. Pascal Gross´s fourth goal of the season earned Brighton and Hove Albion a 1-0 win at home to Watford, while Laurent Depoitre cancelled out Charlie Austin´s opener as Huddersfield Town drew 1-1 at Southampton.

Remembering Pakistan?s ?pop queen? on 17th death anniversary
ADMIN posted a blog entry in Geo News Blog
Nazia Hassan Pakistan?s ?pop queen? Nazia Hassan passed away 17 years ago today due to lung cancer. The iconic singer was born in Karachi on April 3, 1965 and passed away on August 13, 2000. Her debut song Aap Jaisa Koi in 1980 shot her to fame but for Nazia, it was just the beginning of a career that would leave an impression in the hearts of an entire generation and more. Along with her brother, Zohaib Hassan, Nazia released her album Disco Deewane in 1981. Her songs ?Dosti?, ?Disco Deewane?, ?Aankhen Milane Wale?, ?Boom Boom? and 'Dil ki Lagi' are still considered timeless classics. Nazia was not only blessed with an angelic voice to serenade audiences, but also with an empathetic heart. Her philanthropic work made her win several accolades. The singer released more than a dozen albums in her life spanning 35 years and even collaborated with Indian classical legend Kishore Kumar once. In 1991, she joined the United Nations and also worked for UNICEF. Interestingly, Nazia also wrote a song on abstinence from drugs called Nasha Na Karo. For Nazia?s great achievements and contributions, the government of Pakistan presented her the ?Pride of Performance? award ? the highest civil award of Pakistan. The award was presented to Nazia?s mother, Muniza Basir, by Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf on March 23, 2002. Remembering the late diva, several fans took to Twitter to express their feelings:
