I didnt play the last two but will definitely play this one. Pretty excited.
Kiev is so far inland, i'd love to see it but it seems like too much work.

Assassin's Creed Ragnarok New 4chan Leak

hope those cities listed are actual cities that are decent sized. for all the scope Odyssey had, Athens was a bit underwhelming to me. big part why i liked the AC games was getting lost in this ancient cities and taking in all that history.
The next AC being a 4 player co-op game is not the direction I want the franchise to go and yet I'm both not surprised and very sure it's something a lot a of people want. I really didn't think AC could escape Ubisoft's love with co-op games.
And yet if the game is designed with 1 player character in mind with added co-op than it wouldn't be much of an issue.

4 player drop in, drop out co-op, magic runes, full scale raids?
Remember when the series was about carrying out subtle kills on real life political targets before escaping into a crowd?

I just thought, there have been rumours that the next God of War might be called God of War: Fimbulwinter or God of War: Ragnarök... I wonder if the AC game being called Ragnarok changes things over at Sony? That game is still years and years away anyway but still.
All I want for this game is to not look janky. And I would also like it to just be open world with a lot of meaningful side quests. That's it. Everything else sounds so yeah
All of Northern Europe yet York, London and Paris are in Western Europe and Kiev is in Central/Eastern Europe. Either the map is going to be 50 times larger than Odyssey or it is split into mutiple large maps similar to Witcher 3.
Boy, there is a lot in there I don't like. These games are such heavy lifts now and this one seems to actually be BIGGER? Also, the addition of weapon degradation is a big no from me. I used to love AC but damn if I'm not over it now.
im sure these new consoles will allow ubi to copy paste the same activity ad nauseam over an even bigger copy pasted map
Why does every Ubisoft game have to incorporate every element from their AAA games into each other.
I liked Odyssey but it was honesty too big. And this is going to include almost the whole Northern Hemisphere?
Speaking for myself, I adored the co-op in Unity (granted, I mostly played it as a duo Assassin mode, rather than with three other people). Coordinating attacks with each other, syncing kills, combining your own tools and play styles in a variety of ways to progress though the missions, it was all very fun. I was disappointed that Ubisoft didn't iterate on the co-op with Syndicate, so I would be a little excited to see it return in some form.
Lol, what kind of "Europe" is it where York, London, Paris and Kyiv are considered equally "Northern?" Roflmao.
Novgorod, I can buy, sure. Would fit the whole "big cities mostly close to the sea and approachable by dragon ships" motif.
But Kyiv? There was no direct river connection, and the Iranians actually had to drag their boats good 50 clicks or those to get them into the Dnipro river and go south from there. And then you had cities like Smolensk and Chernihiv along the way.
And if you're gonna put in a route from the Baltic Sea to Kyiv, that means you"re also gonna have the entire Baltic Sea coast- and that means not just Scandinavia, but also Denmark, Prussia (the non-germanized as of then), plus the Wendish chiefdoms, and all the cities of the Hanse. Like, there's way more cities in "Northern Europe" than Paris and Kyiv.

Yes. Loved AC1 and 2. Those games hold a special place in my heart just cause they had an identity and clear goals. Now all is an open-world hodge podge which resembles nothing of the original idea behind the series.

Still, I will give this game the benefit of the doubt simply because of the team behind it and it's track record. Maybe a time will come when AC will be a focused game because right now it clearly doesn't know what it wants to be.
Surprised to hear they may be going for an even bigger map considering most of the criticisms of Odyssey was that it was too big and a bit bloated.
Regardless, I'll be there day one for the PS5 version.

AC games are like iPhones these days, too many people work on them all over the world for shit to not leak.
I've loved Origins and Odyssey (320 hours across a few different plays, still need to finish the DLCs) so this will represent one of just a few day-1 purchases for this year for me.
Yuck.
Man, I miss real Assassin's Creed. I wish that they had just forked this off into a new franchise, even one set in the AC universe, and kept going with smaller Rogue style AC titles with that kind of gameplay.
Hopefully this will be the end of the weak Witcher 3 imitation saga and the truly next-gen AC gives us an actual evolution of the design like AC3, Unity and Origins did. This is by far my least favorite era of AC, I hope the next one goes back to the roots, though who am I kidding, Nubisoft no longer gives a crap about games they can't milk the shit out of :( I miss the Ubisoft that gave us the Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell games so much.
All I care about is exploring scandinavian nature. Can't wait to walk slowly through a forest and taking it all in.
Not to delve too much into those potential story spoilers but so much of that sounds like a almost direct lift from the show Vikings rather than the actual historical information, fragmented it may be. And Vikings itself borders and often invades the realm of history fiction rather than historical fact.
If this is true, only thing im really curious about its the multiplayer aspect. If you play solo, are you gonna have 3 other AI assholes following you around? Or do they disappear? I dont want a crew of people following me around like they did in Wildlands at launch.
I can deal with the weapon degradation so long as its fair. But if my weapons constantly break and im spending a shit ton of time repairing them, then ya. Thats horse shit.

"Sorry guys, we wanted them to be unique but it just didn't turn out like that"
4 player drop in, drop out co-op, magic runes, full scale raids?
Remember when the series was about carrying out subtle kills on real life political targets before escaping into a crowd?
Yeah. I miss it. I hate how most stealth games evolved into action adventure games with stealth elements.
It was one of the most criticized features of BOTW.
Though it was also kind of integral to the design of BOTW. The completely open approach meant that players could go do a run to find the strongest weapons immediately, so durability was kind of necessary so as not to break the whole balance of the game.
I can't help but distrust Ubisoft a bit here, if this is true. I was one of the ones who found Odyssey grindy and felt like I was being pushed to buy the XP booster. I wouldn't be surprised if we find some "infinite durability" microtransactions or something like that.
I totally agree with you on this. I really liked the main story of Odyssey, but all those filler quests were just dull. This is why I was hoping for a shorter map instead of a larger one.
In fact AC 2 is still the best AC by far.4 player drop in, drop out co-op, magic runes, full scale raids?
Remember when the series was about carrying out subtle kills on real life political targets before escaping into a crowd?
I really hope this is true because I really like how all of this sounds with the exception of weapon durability. Fuck weapon durability.
Weapon durability was my one problem with Breath of the Wild.
The weapon durability and the climbing stamina are two of the worst parts of BotW.
