Kotaku reported on Project Red’s existence, while Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier said Project Red is part of AC Infinity as opposed to a separate game. Sources speaking to Kotaku said this game, whatever it may be, could be set in Asia. Reporter Jeff Grubb of GameSpot sister site Giant Bomb previously said it may be set in Japan. During an earnings report call, the company mentioned a delay for another “smaller, premium unannounced title.” Reports now indicate the game in question is Assassin’s Creed Rift, a new standalone AC game that was originally meant to be a DLC episode for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Nintendo has announced that it will be adding full motion control support for soccer in Switch Sports on July 26. The upcoming free update is scheduled to go live at 6PM PT / 9PM ET and will include a number of new features including the ability for players to use the motion of their legs to kick the soccer ball in-game when using the leg strap accessory. Players will also be able to use their hands by jogging in place to dash in-game. Nintendo explained that playing this way will translate users’ in-game kicks to be more powerful.
