Werewolf By Night: Marvel has come with a new Horror Thriller sequence 

Marvel’s one of the most mysterious segments, ‘Werewolf by Night’ got some official word from the makers. This is one of the best Halloween special sets to hit on Disney+. Werewolf by Night not only just launches any of the live-action, as it can serve as the directorial debut of Michael Gi8acchino who is known for achieving an Academy Award as a composer, and also the writer of Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Batman, and many more. 

Werewolf by Night with any indication, having such a live-action version has been played by Mexican actor great Gael Garcia Bernal doon become the favorite for all of the MCU fans. 

Werewolf

Werewolf By Night: Special Attachment 

The new trailer of the show announces the throwback intentions right now along with a sound and that’s quite surprising for the viewers. In the place of such usual Marvel Studios logo lot the story Giacchino wrote, we have got bongo drums and multicolored lines that unveil, “A Marvel Studios Special Presentation.”. The Special will follow in such footsteps of the old horror adaptations. The title card reflects those Universal horrors. 

Werewolf By Night: The Occultists 

The first moments featured such important figures quiet fathers in a baroque as drawing the room.  Noe, the hoods are suggesting such a secret society from some category that’s quickly confirmed about those menacing voice that has referred to the guests as ‘hunters. Marvel Comics has no such vacancies of monster hunters and secret societies containing led by Ulysses Bloodstone with the immortal caveman fighting against arcane powers by taking the help of the ruby attached to his chest. The other is with Dracula’s old nemesis Abraham, Van Helsing. There are some other terrible monster hunters in the Marvel Universe like super Puritan Solomon Kane, Avenger and Dr. Strange ally Dr. Druid, and the  Daywalker himself.

Werewolf By Night: Zombies 

The credit goes to Richard Watson as it has turned out in fact Ulysses Bloodstone. It will take a look at Simon Garth and tell us we are completely off to the base for some assumptions. Simon Garth was a rich man aimed at voodoo ritual after the cruel firing of one of his employees. After the priestess attempts the ritual that has exposed her, she loved Garth and helps him to flee, Garth is now transformed into a zombie. In the trailer, Garth appears as either an animatronic or a reanimated corpse. 

Werewolf By Night: The identity of Verussa 

 The meeting was held by a woman played by Harriet Harris, coming in the character of Verussa. Apart from the comic book the counterpart has drawn from, we can only able to guess at her role in this tale, that’s pretty clear. She has gathered the hunters for looking at the monster and tells lots bout the creepy things. 

image 315 Werewolf By Night: Marvel has come with a new Horror Thriller sequence 

Werewolf By Night: Elsa Bloodstone 

It’s clear that Verussa is a villain, the trailer unveils the trench coat as the woman playing Laura Donnely as our protagonist. The name of the character has not yet been declared, it’s just all but Elsa Bloodstone who will be the great monster hunter in the latest Marvel, Elsa is the daughter of Ulysses Bloodstone and the blood of the jewel. Elsa has papered to fix in the madcap comic, and he will collaborate with X-Men and the zombie hunters of SHIELD’s. 

Werewolf By Night: Jack Rusell 

We don’t have many updates about Elsa Bloodstone, as it shows even less of the show’s title character. The face is sallow with a sunken eye. The new trailer provides a brief glimpse of the werewolf, as it prefers to follow the roots of MGM horror producer Jacques Tourneur. Rusell comes to transform for something more interesting on the Universal Wolf Man featured by Lon Chaney Jr. 

image 316 Werewolf By Night: Marvel has come with a new Horror Thriller sequence 

Werewolf By Night: Man-Thing 

We are assuming if Gael Garcia Bernal is featuring the role 0of Russell as the werewolf and the werewolf that let too loose on the monster hunters, then the question is why does the trailer show such a long hand-grabbing Bernal? If you give a close look, then you will understand that the hand comes from Man-Thing. Man-Thing come after the scientist Ted Sallis ran afoul of such a modified concept of mechanics. 

Werewolf By Night: TVA 

TVA or Time Variant Authority is also one of the unexpected guests of the show. We can see some quick shots of the werewolf attacking people. The people are the hunters but not the monster hunter foregrounded along the trailer. Now the most important question is why TVA needs to gather as monster hunters. 

image 317 Werewolf By Night: Marvel has come with a new Horror Thriller sequence 

Werewolf By Night: Moon Knight 

Beyond the Darkhold, other popular figures are spinning as Marc Spector Moon Knight. When Marvel has not provided the hint at any such figure planning for Oscar Isaac to come back as the Fist of Khonshu, whether Khonshu will be involved or not, for more updates, we have to wait for some time. 

Werewolf By Night: Release Date 

Marvel’s Werewolf by Night’ will hit on 7th October on Disney+.

Gavi to sign new Barcelona contract this week with €1 billion release clause

Barcelona are set to announce the contract renewal of Gavi this week. The player has been talking with the club for a renewal since December, and it will now be made official. 

The youngster has established himself as one of the best teenagers in the world, and has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe. Bayern Munich were the most keen to land the player, alongside Chelsea. However, the midfielder was not willing to move from Camp Nou, being a La Masia graduate. 

Gavi to have new Barcelona contract very soon 

Barcelona have never been worried about the links to other clubs. They have agreed to insert a €1 billion release clause in his contract, which would make him untouchable when it comes to transfers. 

The new contract will be until 2026, three years longer than his current deal which expires next summer. 

“I am not surprised by Gavi’s performance because I see him train every day,” the coach said after his recent man of the match showing against Sevilla.

“I know what he’s capable of. The way he plays, he is pure intensity, personality, hard work, heart, discipline (…) I don’t want to be unfair on the others, but he was perhaps the best player tonight,” Xavi added. 

Gavi joins the likes of Ronald Araujo, Pedri and Ansu Fati to have the billion euro release clause in his contract, which would keep him at the club for a very long time. 

Ubisoft to sell its AAA-Game titles at $70

Ubisoft to sell its AAA-Game titles at $70

Fresh out of the box, new AAA games have been priced at approximately $60 for the past 20 years or so. Except for the launch of DLC, players would not need to make any extra purchases to access the entire game. It now appears that several major publishers, including Ubisoft, may start charging $70 for each of their most popular titles.

In an interview with Axios, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated that the company would start hiking the price of AAA titles to $70 starting with Skull & Bones this Fall. Some of the games will cost the same as their rivals, according to Guillemot. The cost of the major AAA games is $70.

According to Sources, previous AAA games that have cost $70 include:

  • NBA 2K21
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
  • Demon’s Souls
  • Godfall
  • MLB The Show 21
  • Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

Many creators are apprehensive to test out the early process of charging that much for a brand-new AAA game. In addition to the economy’s uncertainty following the recent pandemic, players have already demonstrated that they are resistive to this additional pricing. It is easy to picture how expensive premium or collector’s editions of the game will be if the standard price for games is $70.

The fact that salaries haven’t increased all that much over the past couple of decades is another important point to make. In many US cities, the minimum wage is still $7.25. More people will not be able to enjoy this interest due to the price increase in video games. The price increase should ensure that developers are compensated more for their labor.

Assassins Creed: The Developers Promise more Sustained Dev Cycles for the upcoming Titles

Assassins Creed: The Developers Promise more Sustained Dev Cycles for the upcoming Titles

Assassins Creed fans learned a lot about the franchise’s future during the Ubisoft Forward event. Beginning with The Last Chapter free DLC mission, which will arrive in Valhalla in the coming months, Eivor will be seen concluding several of the main game’s storylines while interacting with important individuals. The wait for Assassins Creed Mirage, formerly Assassins Creed Rift, will then start. The 2023 game makes a return to the series’ origins by emphasizing stealth and assassinations rather than the RPG model that was introduced with Assassins Creed Origins.

The series’ final cross-generational entry is called Mirage. Marc-Alexis Côté, vice president and executive producer of the Assassins Creed franchise, previewed some of the technological improvements that the team is working on for the Anvil engine going forward in an interview with the Ubisoft Blog.

I don’t want to spoil too much of what our creative teams are working on. However, from a technological point of view, these are games that will benefit from a tremendous increase in fidelity with all the improvements that we’re working on with this new iteration of the Anvil pipeline, so you can just imagine it being a very next-generation approach to RPGs, at least from a graphical-fidelity point of view. But it will take all the learnings that we’ve had from Odyssey and Valhalla to epitomize the best of what we can do at Ubisoft in terms of RPGs.

Assassins Creed

Ubisoft’s strategy for game announcements and game development will alter, according to Côté. To get community feedback, games (like Assassins Creed Codename Red and Hexi) will be released early, and the developers will be able to benefit from longer, more sustainable cycles.

Codename Red could debut in 2024, possibly following Mirage. Given this assertion, it’s reasonable to predict that Hexi will likely release at least a few years after it, but Assassins Creed fans should have plenty of fun in the interim.

Jio Satellite Communications Ltd is looking to launch Satellite Internet Services

Jio Satellite Communications Ltd is looking to launch Satellite Internet Services

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) recently granted a critical permit to a Reliance Jio subsidiary, allowing it to launch high-speed broadband from space services.

A letter of intent (LoI) has been issued by the DoT to Jio Satellite Communications Ltd (JSCL), a Jio company that had sought global mobile personal communications by satellite services (GMPCS) licence earlier this year. After Bharti Group-backed OneWeb, Jio’s satellite division is the second business to gain DoT approval to provide broadband services via satellites.

Jio Space Technology Ltd., a joint venture held 51:49 by Jio Platforms (JPL), the parent company of Jio and owned by Mukesh Ambani, and SES, a major satellite communications firm, was established earlier this year to provide broadband services in India via satellites. To deliver Satcom services within the nation, Jio Space Tech is building a sizable gateway infrastructure in India. The company will deploy multi-orbit space networks, which combine geostationary (GEO) and medium earth orbit (MEO) satellite constellations.

With Jio, Bharti-backed OneWeb, Nelco, a Tata group Satcom firm, and Canada’s Telesat all aiming to introduce satellite broadband services in India, competition in this still-emerging market has increased. The second-largest communications market on the planet is also of interest to Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Amazon’s Project Kuiper.

According to experts, India represents a significant new market for broadband from space services with a near-term yearly revenue possibility of over $1 billion. As many rural areas in India still lack cellular or fibre connectivity, E&Y projects that the country’s satellite services market will increase from zero in 2017 to $4.7 billion in 2025. This is because over 75% of rural India’s population still lacks broadband access.

According to the regulations, Jio must accept the terms and conditions once an LoI is issued and provide bank guarantees (BGs) to DoT totalling Rs 1 crore before the GMPCS licence can be granted.

However, the DoT official, companies can begin offering satellite services if there is clarity regarding the spectrum allocation for satellite communications. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) will provide recommendations on the subject, which the government is awaiting.

Given the popularity of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, DoT is considering modifying the way satellite companies currently provide VSAT services utilising delicensed KU band spectrum. Trai has already received a request from DoT for advice about the cost of KU/KA bands. The DoT plans to auction off the spectrum needed for these services.

According to a DoT official, access spectrum is needed by satellite operators to serve their nationwide client base. The Supreme Court’s 2012 judgement mandating that these airwaves only be sold to the highest bidder highlights the need for access spectrum allocation by auction.

In addition, satellite communications are highly helpful for delivering broadband services in isolated, hilly, and difficult-to-reach areas. Additionally, when conventional communication is hampered due to a disaster, it is the sole means available for establishing communication. According to experts, broadband rates of 200 Mbps to 300 Mbps are possible due to the abundance of low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites.

Ecuador could be kicked out of the 2022 World Cup after allegedly faking passports

Ecuador’s participation in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar could be at risk. The country has faced accusations from faking passports and identities which were covered up by the Ecuador Football Federation [FEF]. 

New evidence obtained by Sportsmail suggested that Byron Castillo was indeed born in Colombia. As a result, the player admitted to using a fake passport and leaving Colombia to pursue a football career across the border.

Ecuador run risk of being kicked out of the 2022 World Cup 

The news comes only days before the Appeals Commission are set to pass their verdict on the matter. The right-back made eight appearances for the Ecuadorian national team during the World Cup qualifying phase, and he was the main reason behind FIFA’s inquiry into the matter. 

In an interview that was carried out in 2018, the player himself admits to having being born in Colombia in 1995, while his ID reads 1998. The doubts over Castillo’s identity first emerged in 2015 when his proposed transfer between two Ecuadorian clubs Norteamerica and Club Emelec collapsed due to ‘irregularities’ in his documentation.

Tournament hosts Qatar and England included with them in the group stages, and their matches could be at risk with the latest developments. However, the final verdict will be known on Thursday as as to whether they will be allowed to play in the World Cup.

Rooter’s Maiden Independence Cricket League Crosses 15 mn Views
  • Largest Real Cricket eSports tournament so far, played for a prize pool of INR 5,00,000
  • Part of the company’s drive to revolutionize cricket-based gaming through highly engaging eSports IPs created around live matches

India, September 13th, 2022: In an endeavour to revolutionize cricket-based gaming experiences, Rooter, the country’s biggest esports and game streaming platform, recently conducted the first edition of its Independence Cricket League, in partnership with Real Cricket and 1XBet.

The tournament saw twelve exciting teams, comprising leading game-streaming influencers and pro players compete for a grand prize of INR 5 lakhs – the largest pool ever for a Real Cricket tournament in the country. Launched on 27th August to coincide with the Asia Cup, the tournament recorded an unprecedented 15 million+ views over two weeks of nail-biting matches, before ending in a power-packed finale last Sunday. Cheering fans, a closely-fought match, and Akash Chopra’s inimitable commentary marked the exciting tournament finals as team Bangalore Superboyslifted the cup, while Rajasthan Rebels were the runners-up.

The Independence Cricket League is the first in a series of highly engaging esports IPs that Rooter is building for cricket in India. With more than 800 million fans, Cricket is practically a religion in India, and content consumption around the sport is as large a phenomenon as the viewership of actual matches.

As an erstwhile sports fan engagement platform, Rooter already has deep experience in building consumption channels that enable fans to engage in live-action sports, listen to commentary, participate in live quizzes and explore live-content creation in unique ways – creating some of the most loved community experiences. The company is now on a mission to bring Cricket and Gaming (two of the biggest entertainment choices) together through highly engaging formats.

Speaking about this, Dipesh Agarwal, Co-founder and COO, Rooter said “We believe that there is tremendous scope to unlock never-seen-before fan experiences with cricket-based esports. We also believe that while the industry in India is yet to see a very successful intersection of the two, we are the ones best poised to deliver it. As the leading streaming broadcaster in the country, we’ve been sharpening our expertise in developing credible eSport IPs and are committed to creating engagements that will benefit publishers, players, fans, and our brand partners alike.”

Over the course of the next year, Rooter will be investing in testing franchise formats that can drive high viewership, deliver attractive gaming rewards and create strong brand partnership opportunities. Starting with the Independence Cricket League, the company plans to host a Real Cricket tournament/cricket-based tournament every time India plays.

The company now plans to keep stoking the cricket fever with a massive tournament around the T20 Men’s World Cup this year. Fans can expect to have an immersive experience transcending from the live matches to the streaming space as they root for their favourite players in each format.
