That's wild, I have been missing out on everything going on in AC lol
Big budget mainline I imagine since its made by the same crew as AC Origins and Valhalla (Ubisoft Montreal).
It's not that big of a leap, in Origins / Odyssey / Valhalla, you are playing Isu stories experienced through the lenses of mythology. And when you play with magical powers and what not, you are always inside a simulation, a sort of an interpretation of what may have happened.

Drive it into the grown ?, when the last iterations of the franchise have had record sales ?
Valhalla was the most successful AC ever and one of the most successful Ubisoft games in their history. Mainline titles are doing pretty well.
I have zero interest in their sales, as a consumer the only metric that I care about is whether they're appealing to me and the IP has become a complete mess at this point as far as I'm concerned. This idea of chasing a Fortnite style platform for AC is actively pushing me away from the franchise and it feels like we're getting a lot of AC games that don't need to have AC in the title. Essentially I feel Ubisoft are using the name as a selling point more than anything it just pushes me away from the games instead.
I've no doubt. I also think it was the worst AC game by a massive margin as I associate the games quite a lot with verticality which was extremely lacking due to the setting. I'm not really talking about sales, more how I feel about where the IP is headed. I haven't even got around to Mirage despite it being closer to the older games because I'm just kinda left wondering how much it's gonna make sense to me to jump in for one game here and there
So good 😌
*coven
I really want to see how they blend the themes for the character design and outfits, and also what style of magic they'll go for.
Totally! If they lean into more of the dark side of magic or maybe you can even choose to go dark or light? The setting is also rather rare and really inspired in my opinion.
Let's pray to Hecate they pull this off!
This actually feels like an evolution like the Ancient trilogy was at least
All of which can be explained in the usual ways that AC explains magic.
Before Dragon's Dogma 2 graced us with a sphinx we had AC.

Honestly the last time we played as a regular human was in Origins. The creatives behind the Ancient Trilogy really wanted to go deep into Isu lore.
I just miss the grounded games. Gonna start Mirage soon. Hope it's grounded
Imagine cauldrons and brewing potions and how they might look in the various flasks or bottles. What about familiars or cats!! Ahh!!
Omg what if there's a quest like searching for and guiding Persephone from the underworld?!
Oh, an animal companion you seek out in a cool questline would be so cool! Potion brewing in your little witch hut in some German swamp. Gimme gimme!
Did you jump into the Hades lore here? :D <3
It's about as grounded as classic AC was minus one ability in particular that's incredibly fun to use.
Yes!! Urgh my god they could do *wonders* with the lighting in this game. From the witch hunts and fires in swamps through to the potion brewing, spell casting and summons.
Haha I just had to make sure I was remembering correctly before I made an ass out of myself 😂 Greek mythology is just so cool and ripe for use in games, Hades was a joy and while I haven't been lucky enough to play it yet, Hades II looks even better because, well, witchy stuff. Honestly between Hades II and this I hope we see witches have a bit of a moment in games.
Assuming this is gonna be an Ubi Original like AC Mirage and I'm all for it.
I'd guess there new release model is gonna be large as fuck open world / smaller scale world - repeat.

First time since The Witcher 3 we could get a really pretty swampy area, I think? Really excited about all this. I'm not a big AC fan, but I will be there day 1 if they deliver!
Curious about Red and the female Ninja character too though ...
I'm abig fan of Greek mythology. Two of my most anticipated games right now are Hades 2 (this time with a femalce mc too! although I loved Zagreus) and Age of Mythology: Retold. We are eating good right now, with female mc's too! Star Wars Outlaws, Hades 2, AC Red & Hexe. It's improving and makes me happy!
More linear in the sense that it is like AC2 instead of the recent trilogy, but they are still set in open world areas.
Yes, all AC games are live services.
They probably should just go full Final Fantasy at this point and do whatever they want with the lore of each installment. I'm playing Valhalla now and they don't even bother to explain the tacked on Abstergo/Animus/Isu stuff. If you haven't played any of the previous installments, you're probably going "wtf?" whenever Layla Hassan shows up.
i always love when stories go "witch hunts were obviously terrible and oppressive but those ladies absolutely did have magical powers, they were right about that"
No I was talking about my opinion on the series and why it feels like it's pushing me away and I don't really get what sales figures have to do with that. Apparently discussion isn't your wheelhouse though, unless sales figures are the be all and end all of opinions
Now I'm genuinely curious though. This is a forum primarily for discussing games. What's the problem with having an opinion that doesn't align with sales?
Can you elaborate on that? The trailer was not more than a logo iirc? Where did they tease him?
Valhalla's the end of a trilogy, most consumers were locked in and fully aware of who Layla is by that point. And yes they do explain a LOT of modern day related things in Valhalla.
Because sales and revenue being at an all time high, means significantly more people enjoy the series as it is now instead of what you want it to be?
Also, the previous game hitting $1 billion in just over a year which is their fastest selling, making Vahalla Ubi's most successful game in history, is directly opposed to this:
Instead of pretending that what they are doing is not being overwhelmingly positively received, you can just say you do not like it.
OP
OP
They stopped caring and explaining modern day in games since basically Black Flag. When you end up entire setup of 6 games in the comics and in a bad way you can't continue to explain it properly in games. They are just inventing stupid sh*t and patching some holes but more interesting part that says a lot more is moved outside games. So even if you play RPG trilogy things are barely explained and coherent compared to the things outside games.
His name was in a cypher hidden in the background of the reveal logo. The channel access the animus did a video decoding the message and here is the video in question (skip to 5:54 for the hidden message):

I don't think the point is that. They will surely go for an angle where they were still innocently hunted, but like this you can fight back with style. Being a witch is also a rather unique gameplay aspect in gaming, we don't have that often.
Yeah its a bit weird that the protagonist actually has powers
