Assassin's Creed franchise will continue to build upon the RPG formula

Idk man, I'm just tired of the current formula after these 3 titles already personally.
The games are just too damn big, I never complained about the previous formula but accepted the new one as a fan of RPGs in general, but I'm tired of the grind and how worthless it all feels sometimes.

Gotta say I'm surprised about Far Cry 5 sales, I don't know anyone in my direct friend group who's played it, whereas several of us have played 4...
Whatever I dropped the franchise specifically because of this stuff after Odyssey and started to I find I was not enjoying myself with Origins. As a very hardcore fan of the franchise they've killed it for me.
Really wish they had just split it into two or they made the action rpg into a new IP entirely but what can you do but move on. Still yet to play Valhalla the first time I've ever skipped one but Odyssey showed it was over for Assassins Creed.
Glad that some will continue to get what they enjoy though, lord knows there aren't enough action rpg lites (still a bit salty lol).

I have no issue with the new formula (probably prefer the old though), but I just wish they would tone back the content. Give me a 40 hour game with very high quality content instead of 100-200 hour games full of mid to low tier content.
Being more like RPGs isn't the problem. It's the overwhelming amount of content. It feels bloated and nothing really shines.
It's pretty hard for me to understand what people like about the RPG system. Every RPG element of the game is in service of the combat, which is really quite bad. The animations are low quality, it feels stiff, it lacks the impact of even the old PS3 games. The settings have been great in the new games; the combat not so much. Hard to see how people perceive this as a good thing.
Meh, currently replaying AC: Unity and I just prefer how streamlined the upgrade system is for weapons, gear, and abilities. There's no need to focus on min-maxing. You just buy better shit as you earn more money. The more convoluted the system, the less eager I am to want to play it.
It's going to be a damn good day once an AC game with the scale of Syndicate/Unity is announced
For now, not interested with this current formula. There's so much hard work poured into these games, and it shows, but the games are also clearly designed to waste your time

Thus the war between old style AC fans and New style AC fans continue
Meanwhile there's just some of us who want another damn pirate game like blackflag

Skull and Bones not cancelled is the biggest shocker to me. What in the world is going on with that game?
Not this year and based on the above, maybe not next year either. Releasing Origins and Odyssey in back-to-back years is, imo, an exception rather than the rule going forward for RPG Assassin's Creed.
Different strokes for different folks. I personally love the combat from the last 3 games games and felt like the combat has gotten better with each new iteration. I vastly prefer the combat from Valhalla for example compared to say Unity and Syndicate.
