Assassin’s Creed Obstacle Course Coming To Sydney
Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed obstacle course, the Assassin’s Creed Challenge, is coming to Australia. Ubisoft Australia announced that the Challenge will be available for anyone to try at Metcalfe Park in Sydney on October 5 and 6.
Similar to the Assassin’s Creed obstacle course that Ubisoft brings to North American events like Comic-Con, the Sydney course is described as a “full size parkour course with obstacles inspired by the moves of a master assassin…”
This obstacle course was designed to look like something out of ancient Greece, which is the setting for October’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. It has six stages, which replicate things you will do in the game such as climbing, swinging, and balancing on things.
As you might have guessed, the final section is the “Leap of Faith,” where participants jump off a seven-meter platform to a safe landing zone below. Those who successfully complete the entire course will get a Spartan helmet inspired by the game.
Ubisoft partnered with Microsoft for this promotion, and there will be 16 Xbox One X game stations available at the event for people to play Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Ubisoft is giving away three Odyssey-themed Xbox One X consoles, one each people who upload the best photo, best video, and best cosplay to Instagram and tag it with #AssassinsCreedChallenge.
You can register for the free event here on Eventbrite. It runs from 10 AM to 5 PM on October 5 and 9 AM to 5 PM on October 6. There will also be food trucks.
Odyssey launches on October 5 for PS4 and Xbox One. It will also be available on Nintendo Switch, but only in Japan.

Game of Thrones, Westworld and Every Other Winner from the 2018 Emmys
The 2018 Emmy Awards have concluded with Game of Thrones winning Best Drama Series, reclaiming its crown after a year of ineligibility, which allowed The Handmaid’s Tale to usurp its top spot last year. There was no love for The Handmaid’s Tale during the Primetime Emmys ceremony in 2018 (although it did scoop two awards at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony the week before, with Samira Wiley winning Outstanding Guest Actress and Wendy Hallam Martin scoring Single-Camera Picture Editing).
The Crown’s Claire Foy won Best Actress in a Drama in her final year on the Netflix show, while The Americans’ Matthew Rhys won Best Actor for the FX series’ final season. On the comedy side, Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel swept its categories, winning Best Comedy and awarding star Rachel Brosnahan for Best Actress, Alex Borstein for Supporting Actress (in addition to her Creative Arts win for her voiceover work on Family Guy), and co-creator Amy Sherman-Palladino for Directing and Writing.

When Will the Captain Marvel Trailer Come Out?
UPDATED, Sept. 17: Good Morning America confirmed via Twitter that the first full trailer for Captain Marvel will debut on their show tomorrow, Sept. 18.
The original report follows.

How the Japanese Games Industry Got Its Groove Back
It’s a simple scene. Four handsome men in expensive-looking black outfits find that their even more expensive-looking car is in need of repair. They need to get out and push, and as they do so a cover of Stand by Me performed by Florence + the Machine plays in the background. It’s a beautifully serene moment that captures the essence of Final Fantasy 15’s messaging perfectly. Here are four friends, out in the wider world for the first time, about to explore many new locations and test the very fabric of their friendship.
More to the point, this was a series trying to re-establish itself, and it kicked off its first current-generation mainline instalment with its characters trying to start a broken car. The metaphor is hardly subtle, but it is apt. This is poetic enough in and of itself, but the timing of the release has gone on to make it something more.
George R. R. Martin Says Game of Thrones Could’ve Lasted 13 Seasons
George R. R. Martin says his Game of Thrones novels could have provided enough material to keep the popular HBO series going for another five seasons.
In a red carpet interview at the Emmy Awards, Variety asked Martin why Game of Thrones is ending. “I don’t know, ask David and Dan when they come through,” Martin said, “we could have gone to 11, 12, 13 seasons. But I guess they wanted a life.”

GTA Online: The Return of Running Back Mode
This week, GTA Online sees the return of yet another Year 2 Adversary Mode. Running Back is a fight for supremacy between two teams of vehicle drivers – one team has to get their Runner (driving a smartcar-esque Panto) to the end of the playing field and into the goal zone, while the other team does their best to keep them out of the endzone.
The new maps in the Remixed version moves from the original tunnels and bridges that hemmed in the teams, and now features custom-designed neon stunt arenas for players to dart back and forth on. They also replace the old off-road buggies that were used for defense and offense with squads of supercars that can use their superior speed to overtake the Runner, or defend them with greater ease.
