Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations heads for the ravaged glories of medieval Constantinople this November, while Mass Effect 3 warps into early 2012.

Revelations will see Ezio, the main character from Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood, travel to Constantinople as an older man, tracing a route taken by ancestor Altaïr (introduced in Assassin's Creed).

There'll be a new piece of equipment, the hookblade, and a new version of Brotherhood's cat-and-mouse multiplayer.

Followers of the Mass Effect games will have to wait a while longer than previously expected for Mass Effect 3.

Commander Shepard's quest to save the galaxy lands him (or her, depending on user choice) in a spot of bother back on Earth, just in time to witness an alien invasion.

First pegged for the close of 2011, the action-adventure's return is now scheduled for the first few months of 2012 instead.

Other upcoming releases recently announced include the remastered Sega Saturn game Guardian Heroes as an Xbox 360 download (September-November), while Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is imminent, having been given a May 10 go-ahead (May 13 in Europe).
