Rumor: Assassin's Creed: Ragnarok details leak.

talking more about the Origins/Odyssey mold, which i'm guessing this game cribs off of. wouldn't discount MP entirely but leak is definitely bull shizzle
Multiplayer has been rumored to be coming back for a while. Specifically co-op. Ubisoft wants the GTA Online money
I mean, i'm not even surprised, this is Ubisoft modus operandi.
Bloated open world + totally not needed live service garbage.
Nothing new to see here, Ubisoft managed to nail one game this gen and that's Siege, the rest is pretty mediocre or forgettable and this new AC won't be better than the rest of their games.

We don't know that for sure. When the leaks first came out last year, the first one mentioned coop. It came from a french gaming website that got Odyssey information correct months before the official reveal. Not to mention they got stuff right from Origins too. So I wouldn't count it out just yet. I think it's likely to happen to be honest.
So those conquest battles...
But better?
That would rock.
Hope this comes true.
I did NOT expect to ever hear of that game again but here we are. I enjoyed the SHIT out of thatSo those conquest battles...
But better?
It's not a great game
but it's a game I love
edit: And thinking about those huge battles with ubisoft money and production value...
Agreed. It's one of those games where while you play it you can list tons of things that could be better but you are also just absolutely enjoying it.It's not a great game
but it's a game I love

Honestly Ubisoft having coop in this would kinda go contra to what Yves said in investor calls, but I dunno.
this has been in development before the whole Breakpoint and TD2 mess
Absolutely love Origins and this sound freaking amazing.
Welp time to play Odyssey I guess.
This is Ashraf team right ?
Knowing Ubisoft, the weapon probably degrade really slow and is easily repaired.
I am curious if the backlash from the Division 2 and the Breakpoint did manage to influence this game or if it was to far along. Same goes for Watchdogs 3.
I liked yves guillemot statement about needing to rethink their game structure and games needing to have something unique or a strong vision , I just think that these 2 games were too far along to make massive changes but maybe they were able to remove some bloat. I am really curious how ubisoft will enter t next gen for real in 2021-22.

coop missions would be nice, like Unity, but if they actually make the entire game coop, then that's basically the death sentence for any sort of engaging narrative. The core fans were already very mixed on Odyssey with how it kinda doesn't even feel like an AC game and how it shit all over the lore, but this would be pushing it even further.
I am very skeptical though, 4chan leaks do tend to be acccurate sometimes but most of the time its just people roleplaying as leakers.

I wouldnt count on it. This is likely going to be a game very similiar to Odyssey in gameplay especially with all the viking and mythical stuff. And as long as ubisoft insists on massive maps with mostly scenery, the advanced movement isn't coming back either.
+1 respect points for the Viking shout-out, but I bet that game will have better stealth mechanics than Ragnarok due to Ubi's rpg-ification of everything and making stealth kills almost non existant
You ain't getting a parkour system when Ubisoft wants to go for the big open areas instead of focus on a big City.
Man those RPG mechanics sound very old school.
Damm too bad nothing about next gen features in that rumor

Hell yeah. Black Flag and Origins is my top 3 game in the series.
I just want them to at least start with shield walls and formations. I get that being an action video game with a single character controlled by the player it has to devolve into Odyssey's free-for-all nonsense at some point, but Ryse Son of Rome proved that shield walls and formations can still work well in short bursts with this playstyle.So those conquest battles...
But better?
And if battles started this way it would be a great game mechanic designed around jostling for an early advantage, where either your shield wall is broken by the enemy (start with a minor disadvantage) or the enemy's shieldwall is broken by you (minor advantage). Works especially well if the army "health bar" reflects morale again like it did in Odyssey.
It can descend into video game madness immediately afterwards. I just need it to start like this if I'm going to enjoy these large battles in a game series that prides itself on historical details:

Because there's only two major teams who are working on AC right now. One of them is Montreal (Black Flag and Origins) and the other is Quebec (Syndicate and Odyssey) but quebec are working on that new IP (Gods & Monsters) so I dunna when we'll see them again. The other teams like Ubisoft Sofia and Ubisoft Singapore are assisting teams that help the main teams out (Singapore created naval and water for previous games for instance and right now they are working on Skull & Bones)
Also Ashraf's CV had one unannounced game in development at Montreal a few years ago, and we know that's the next AC (Ragnarok)
And where would you you know actually parkour? Until they move back to big cities in modern times parkour is basically dead.
Ashaf makes me more confident, agree. His past AC games were both brilliant so he has an eye for what makes an open-world compelling. I'm playing BF on Switch these days and I'm enjoying it much more than the first time on ps3. The world is really detailed and the gameplay is spot on, especially the streamlined naval.
I just hope the world isn't humongous because I don't want every sesh to be all travelling from point A to B. Even Origins was very guilty of this. That world had a lot of landmass and some zones were really unimportant.
Hopefully they include a few castles and a walled city or something. That + rock climbing / tree climbing would make it viable. Something akin to Origins would be the bare minimum.
But yeh, we need a full fledged city for Unity levels of parkour. :(

You don't need to have big cities to have a decent parkour system. The animations are a set back in origines/odyssey, yet there are big cities. I just want more animations and more possibilities, no matter the size of the buildings
Some of those new details sound way too far out to be real. Cannot picture weapon degradation being a thing in an AC game, that's too much of a foundation shift.
I'd love it if it were all true though. Sounds tremendous IMO.

There is no point having Unity parkour in game where you can jump from any building without consequences. In Odyssey they even added no fall damage as skill.

Castles, cathedrals, well-designed natural environments (large rocks, cliffs, trees) for the vistas/sync points. And just because a building or city is small doesn't mean it's bad for parkour traversal. It's more about the layout of the towns and villages than the size of them and their buildings.
I loved the travel loop in Odyssey of getting to a new area, syncing the sync points that are useful to have, then being able to fast travel everywhere. In the mid game this was really fun and killed most of the dull travel.
However, they could make actual on foot/horse travel about a million times more interesting.

But it is about size, Unity got new parkour system because they went to almost 1:1 scale and buildings were huge. And parkouring cliffs is kinda impossible in same way as it was done in Unity. You simply don't have enough grab points on natural surfaces.
When we had those, people were tired of them and wanted them to evolve.
Well, the problem was that they were pumping them out every year and AC3 & Unity were messy as hell.
Plenty of grab points on cliffs! And it's a game anyway, so they can always make sure their cliffs have enough grab "nodes" to match indoor climbing walls for options (pretty much exactly what they did in Origins/Odyssey for cliffs). Real world speed climbers make assassins like Arno look slow as hell at climbing =P Though granted, they have an emergency fall rope that allows them to make every move they make high risk:
