The Sidemen's reality show, and Selena Gomez's 'love story' album: What to stream this week

Since 2007 the Assassin's Creed series has allowed players to hack, slash and sneak their way through a range of historical settings. And the latest instalment, Shadows, creeping on to PS5, Xbox and PC from Thursday, grants fans' long-held wish for an adventure set in feudal Japan. It mixes the stealth gameplay of the recent Assassin's Creed Mirage with the combat-focused approach of mega-hit Valhalla and throws ninjas into the mix. But it's being seen by many as a make-or-break title for French publisher Ubisoft, one of the biggest gaming companies in the world. After a lacklustre 2024, there's a lot of hope that the twice-delayed Shadows will replicate the sales of previous games in the Assassin's Creed series.
