The announcement comes a day after other Big Tech companies, including Google, Twitter and Facebook said their employees must receive the vaccination in order to enter the office. On its website, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission stated that federal law does not bar employers from requiring their employees to receive vaccination in order to return to the office. With the enforcement of these requirements, Big Tech joins the federal government in its push to enforce Coronavirus-related workplace restrictions....

The news comes from former Ubisoft employee Alex Hutchinson, a developer who has worked on numerous hit games like Far Cry 4, The Sims 2, and Assassin’s Creed 3. On Twitter, Hutchinson posted a short teaser trailer for a game known as Pioneer, a game that never received a formal announcement. Hitchinson captioned the short trailer with the words: “RIP Pioneer” as well as adding a crying emoji signaling that the project has been scrapped entirely....

For the second time within a year, an international office of Ubisoft has spilled the beans early about some sensitive Rainbow Six Siege information. Earlier today, the studio released the Year 2 Season Pass, which will guarantee gamers early access to 8 new operators, plenty of cosmetic items, and the same Renown bonuses which applied to the first season. Ubisoft kept the countries of these new operators a secret, leading many to speculate a roadmap similar to the Rainbow Six Siege Year 1 plan would be released at a later date....

According to a Ubisoft press release, the company will be transforming its HR process so it can better catch and prevent issues before they start. The release also states that the goal is to create “positive and inclusive” workplace environments, and bonuses for team leads are tied directly to their ability to do so. It does not mention how this will be measured, however. Additionally, a campaign will be launched that will focus on raising harassment awareness for all of the company’s employees in the form of training modules....

On Twitter, Twitch streamer littlesiha shared a video from her dance-a-thon fundraising stream where she played Ubisoft’s popular dance party game Just Dance 2020 for 80 hours. The event aimed to raise $50,000 for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital but easily surpassed that as donations came flooding on from members of the streamer’s “Siha Squad” fanbase. RELATED: Ubisoft Might Delay a Major Game Over COVID-19 Littlesiha had raised $86,105 by the end, while the entire Center Stage stream team managed to raise $147,823....

After the Ubisoft CEO said 2023 is pivotal for the future of the company, he also told his staff that “the ball is in [their] court” to get Ubisoft out of its current slump. Guillemot’s attempt at rousing the developers didn’t pan out, however, and while he said that he needed his staff’s “full energy and commitment” to get the company back on track, it would appear that at least one of Ubisoft’s many studios may end up striking instead....

Ubisoft states that the new in-game manuals will offer the player “easier and more intuitive access to game information” while providing them with “a more robust manual”. Ubisoft claims that producing one ton of paper used in its game manuals wastes approximately two tons of wood from 13 trees, containing a net energy of 28 million BTU’s, greenhouse gases adding up to over 6,000 lbs of CO2, and wastewater of about 15,000 gallons....

Surprisingly, however, Ubisoft wasn’t done with its South Park E3 2017 content just yet. After a few other reveals, Ubisoft abruptly shifted gears once again and showed off a mobile phone teaser that eventually revealed South Park would be coming to mobile devices in the near future as South Park Phone Destroyer. The trailer didn’t reveal much about exactly what kind of gameplay fans can expect from the new title, but it certainly made a point out of emphasizing that the new game would have an immense variety of choices available to players....

In his latest set of deleted tweets, Conor McGregor went after former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier, calling him a “fat mess.” The Irishman also insinuated that Cormier displayed ‘dreadful’ behavior by “showing up drunk” for the media day of one of the biggest fights in the promotion’s history. This is a reference to Daniel Cormier’s amusing interaction with the media following a beer chugging contest with fellow analyst Laura Sanko on the UFC 264 Weigh In Show....

Conservatives in recent years have targeted the discussion of LGBTQ identities in public school classrooms, passing bills restricting teachers’ ability to discuss such topics. Many in the LGBTQ community have raised concerns that this sort of legislation infringes on their rights and well-being, but proponents of these bills have defended them, saying these conversations aren’t appropriate for the classroom. Boebert, who has previously faced accusations of using anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, responded to a clip of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemning Florida officials last week for their controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill....

Former Nittany Lions star and NFL linebacker LaVar Arrington announced he will name his soon-to-be-born daughter “Penn” after his alma mater. MORE: Syracuse football gives scholarship to one-month-old baby | Big 10’s best rivalry trophies A Pittsburgh native, Arrington played at Penn State under coach Joe Paterno from 1997 to 1999.

Jefferson County school bus drivers Pamela McDonald and Tina Renner filed the lawsuit against Superintendent of Schools Bondy Shay Gibson on Monday, claiming they were being wrongly associated with the insurrection attempt after traveling to D.C. to attend a peaceful rally. In the suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia in Martinsburg, the pair accuse Gibson of violating their First Amendment right to protest....

Attorney Bryan Scarlatos said he has “strong reason to believe” that more indictments are coming during Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg’s first court appearance since his July 1 arraignment on tax fraud charges. Scarlatos did not say what prompted him to believe more people would be charged, but raised the possibility while arguing for more time to review up to 6 million pages of documents he said prosecutors are turning over as evidence....

And what started as just a handful in season 1, is now 148 as of January 2020. So, it’s not all that surprising why a champion which was the most popular in one season, is hardly ever played in the next. Meta shifts, gameplay changes, and new champion release make some of the older ones boring and simply not fun to play. Riot has come up with an amazing solution to making older champions viable again by reworking their kit and updating their animations....

Perez, the nephew of former U.S. midfielder Hugo Perez, finalized the one-year loan move at Thursday’s transfer deadline. The 19-year-old forward signed a four-year deal with first-division side Fiorentina in February, but will be moving down to get valuable playing time. Perez made one appearance for Fiorentina, playing 15 minutes in a 4-1 loss to Inter Milan last November. Perez was on the U.S. squad alongside Christian Pulisic at the 2015 Under-17 World Cup....

Bhutia was voicing his opinions on live television after the Indian team’s 4-0 loss to Ghana in their final group game. The only Indian coach in Luis Norton de Matos’ support staff is goalkeeping coach Mario Aguilar and Bhutia says the federation should have heeded his suggestion of increasing the number of local coaches working with the team. “One criticism that I have is that the AIFF should have had more Indian coaches working under Luis Norton de Matos....

During a recent earnings call with investors, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot claimed that the firm would be announcing more games for the Nintendo Switch “quite soon.” Although this an interesting bit of news to take in when considering the asset blitz that the company unleashed this past June in Los Angeles, California, the CEO failed to mention just what form these announcements would take. Ubisoft has several major games in development that are set to arrive on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the near future, some of which may very well be considered for a port to the Nintendo platform if any announcements are indeed arriving soon....

Apparently not, claims studio CEO Yves Guillemot, in an interview carried out at last week’s E3 festivities. Despite confirming the existence of up to three new yearly Assassin’s Creed titles (one of which is likely Black Flag itself) the gaming magnate was eager to stress the creative allowances involved in such an undertaking. So what kind of change can we expect from title to title? Well, aside from incremental improvements to graphics, the series’ next-gen engine is likely to remain unscathed, barring one or two new gameplay wrinkles....

Three of these games are likely to be from the prior Ubisoft delays, meaning gamers can likely expect to get their hands on Watch Dogs Legion, Rainbow Six: Quarantine, and Gods and Monsters by this time. It’s uncertain when exactly these games will release during this time schedule, especially when factoring in the other two games. The first is the viking-focused Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok, which has been heavily implied to release in the fall of 2020, and the now-leaked Far Cry 6 game....

The Fox News host said “demographic changes” had changed Virginia from a cente-right voting bloc to a “petri dish” for radical leftism and claimed it was a “fact of life” that immigration pulled the commonwealth to the left. Ingraham also blamed the Republican losses in Virginia commonwealth attorney races on large donations coming from the liberal billionaire George Soros—a hate figure on the right. Speaking on The Ingraham Angle yesterday, the host said: “The road to Democrat dominance in the commonwealth was paved long before Trump took the presidency....
