I have zero interest in the setting, but I do love Assassins Creed and Ubisoft open worlds are glorious looking if nothing else, so I'll be watching with interest.
Assassin's Creed Shadows (formerly Red) will have its premiere on May 15
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
It was, except for getting TLOU2 spoiled for me I'm the chat of that stream!
conflicted
shadows is generic but red sounds like a mountain dew flavor
After a decade long ac break I played Valhalla and really enjoyed it. If this is in feudal Japan then day one
Happy to be in an Assassin's Creed thread that isn't insufferably cynical and negative haha. It's also been heartening (and a tiny bit vindicating) to see the overall opinion of Odyssey get more and more positive as time goes on.
Looking forward to my Ubisoft popcorn game. AC will always have a place in my heart for being the series I can sit and enjoy no matter what's happening outside.

I'm a little hyped for this. It's the right setting for AC and I think Ghost of Tsushima was a little overrated. But I burnt out on Valhalla pretty quickly, I hope this adds something new to the franchise.
At least I'll be seeing a cool trailer in 2 days, AC always delivers on those

If you're implying what I think you're implying, I'm almost certainly right there with you lol. But I know the general tone of those editions around here, so I'll keep it to myself haha
Ubisoft is terrible and I dislike the direction Assassin's Creed took.
Still, I can't help but to be a bit curious when a new AC game is announced. There is always a chance that this one will be different.

It almost certainly won't be as deep as Ghosts. Ghost was able to really hone in on sword combat, and make it deep and satisfying. AC by nature just has a lot more options and tools at your disposal, and it's not as focused on 1v1 encounters. It's looking to accomplish something much different. Not to say that there isn't room for AC's combat to improve, but Ghost isn't a super accurate comparison imo
I completed every Assassin's Creed game, Mirage just yesterday. They are 7/10 games, but incredible comfort food. With Valhalla alone, I caught up on months of my podcast backlog. 😄
It is an Assassin's Creed game. A franchise like this doesn't need opportunities to be successful.
For me it will be a huge surprise if both these games will not have commercial success. Both will do great.
Very excited. Odyssey is one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time. Enjoyed Origins, mirage, and now playing Valhalla for the first time (enjoying it immensely, too).
Odyssey is one of the best games, period. If It is the same team, I have high hopes. That said, I am not familiar enough with the culture/land of this game to know if it will be able to do what Odyssey was doing. Odyssey had caves, holes in the ground, tombs, ruins, etc. and so on which made it this amazing, mystical/fantasy adventure.
Valhalla was not good. At all.

I know but if people are clamouring for Ghost 2 and it's nowhere to be found, Shadows could do even better than it would have originally.
Realistically, these two going head to head would be worrying for Ghost 2, not AC. But they can absolutely both exist and be incredible and successful, and space between the two is better for them and players
A multiplatform RPG is gonna have a lot more reach and the last AC game made 1 billion dollars...
I mean Ghost 2 will be big and both will sell well, but AC is a gargantuan franchise, I wouldn't my similarly themed game to be releasing close to it. I promise I'm not implying Ghost is some rinky dink IP that will get swallowed whole haha
I have no interest in CG trailers, but I'm excited to see the gameplay reveal next month. I've heard you can go prone in this one.
