Yep, that's what I'm thinking as well. They are mostly rather short little missions that don't have anything to do with the main narrative, also you can unlock them with Ubisoft connect tokens a few weeks/months after launch
There was a leak recently about a new Assassins Creed called Mirage with a setting in Baghdad in the years 860-870. It's supposed to release next year, and kinda go back to the basic Assassin's Creed game design without leveling. I think it's real.
If they’re really going back to basics with this one then I’m curious what they do about the combat. The combat in the first game was clunky as hell, but if you make the combat too effective/fun then it discourages stealth.
The answer is to make combat smooth, satisfying, and fun, but also challenging. Make it so that fighting more than 5 guys at once is an incredible challenge (due to aggressive AI attacking simultaneously, the player not having much health, etc). That way it encourages dwindling numbers with stealth while also keeping small skirmishes exciting.
I think they should just wholesale rip off the Ghost of Tsushima combat and call it a day. It's essentially a better version of what Assassin's Creed was trying to do in the first place anyway.
Oh man... AC 1 and 2 were favorites of mine. Wasn't a huge fan of 3-Revelations and couldn't even finish/play more than a few hours of the following games. But I really dug the RPG change. Odyssey is such a good game. I'm conflicted if I should be happy or sad about them going back towards the style of AC1 and abandoning the RPG elements
My guess is that this isn't indicative of a trend. The lack of RPG elements in Mirage is likely more about shortening the development timeline. They need an AC game on their release schedule and the next big one is too far off.
As long as they don't make the combat buttons context sensitive again. Very frustrating when you physically can't attack or block because the game is having trouble with the targeting.
I don't, the combat of the ac games before the rpg trilogy was so boring and samey, I'm worried the game will have very boring combat, leading to the game feeling frustrating everytime you have to engage with combat instead of stealth
Unity combat was so bad. Early and mid game was just spam smoke bombs and heavy strikes. Late game was to use the DLC sword that constantly blinded enemies for the same effect. If you didn’t use either strat then riflemen constantly blasted you in combat because there was no way to dodge block or evade their shots.
“We know how much people loved stopping all of the games momentum by being pulled out of the animus to look at emails in earlier games. Well, we’re keeping that similar tradition from Valhalla alive where we stop all of the momentum to have you play in a fantasy realm” - Execs probably
I had no doubt the earlier leaks were true because they came from J0nathan, but they're pretty much confirmed by this follow-up. Basim's design is giving me real Altair vibes!
I know it's not the locale people were asking for, but having played Odyssey, going to the Middle East region was a pretty logical next step, prior to Valhalla coming out.
They confirmed it to be the new mainline game in the series. Rumour has it they might go back to old gameplay, and I think it'd be a mistake. Moving away from the massive open world of Odyssey and Valhalla would be good, but I hope they can evolve from some great ideas that the newer games had. Stealth should come back and the focus should be the Brotherhood, for sure, I just hope this game doesn't feel like it was made in 2014.
I hope we get a game in medieval Europe. Would be really easy to adapt the assassin creed story elements into that time , with the many characters , kings etc that were around.
When was the last AC game that wasn't leaked months before it's official announcement lol
Never. Even AC 1 was leaked.
at this point it's a feature not a bug
This is probably an exclusive mission for the gold edition and up. Ubisoft does this all the time
Yep, that's what I'm thinking as well. They are mostly rather short little missions that don't have anything to do with the main narrative, also you can unlock them with Ubisoft connect tokens a few weeks/months after launch
Wait do they really gatekeep quests?
Nope. More like pre-order quest, which lster becomes available for everyone.
Save this comment because it's gonna be sad and hilarious when it becomes true.

Ali Baba and the forty thieves
Looks more like a book cover.

Looks like a book cover rather than a game. Are you sure this isn’t another spinoff book series?
Ubisoft setting up assassin's Creed, prince of Persia crossover.
They better not fuck up that remaster/remake they doing
Considering the first AC game started out as a PoP game I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner.
An Assassin? In my Assassin's Creed? It's more likely then I thought.

This game follows the character Basim though, who is actually Loki - so it’s gonna have some fantasy bullshit

Something closer to AC Unity, but actually polished and functional.

I'm curious to see if they drop last gen consoles. I think that would go a long ways.
I mean, they could use inspiration from AC2 - Syndicate. I loved the combat in those games.

They could just split into to 2 different game series , since they are so different anyways

I loved odyssey but it was definitely too long and a little bloated by the end. Haven’t played valhalla
just wish we had a more unity like combat, with less people shooting at you

Unity had my favorite combat of the series.
The guns were so annoying since they pretty much always hit

what the fuck is up with that "visons of Loki" thing mentioned in the other tweet?

It’s a spoiler, but I am guessing it’ll be like Revelations Altaire segments
Basically the main character of this game is Basim who was also featured in Valhalla - it was revealed that he was basically the reincarnation of Loki
Jason Schreier confirmed some details via unnamed source.
lets hope its only for next gen...
I hope the parkour will be like Unity but more polished
The best I can give you is 5 new missions where you collect bear pelts and a shiny unicorn to ride around on
Me too, that would be great
Possible Expansion set in Roman-Byzantine Constantinople?? Fuck yeah!
Please no loot and damage numbers and skill trees. Just make a damn stealth parkour game
I had no doubt the earlier leaks were true because they came from J0nathan, but they're pretty much confirmed by this follow-up. Basim's design is giving me real Altair vibes!
I love the sound of all of it - be true!
I just want PVP back :/
I know it's not the locale people were asking for, but having played Odyssey, going to the Middle East region was a pretty logical next step, prior to Valhalla coming out.
The games had gone really stale so an overhaul is a good thing
Assassins are back on the menu boys
Ok this looks sick. Took a long break from AC, so I’m hoping the gameplay leaks for this are true.
Assassin's are back baby!
I seriously wouldn’t want to play anyone less than Basim. My god.
They confirmed it to be the new mainline game in the series. Rumour has it they might go back to old gameplay, and I think it'd be a mistake.

What happened to the other 60 thieves
I hope we get a game in medieval Europe. Would be really easy to adapt the assassin creed story elements into that time , with the many characters , kings etc that were around.
And then you’ll have to pay 20 dollars for a mission dlc and a character skin because ofc Ubisoft will do it
Less raw than Valhalla?
I’m down for a older style AC game. Liked origins, loved odyssey, meh on Valhalla
The creed games are a hit or miss. Either way that creed outfit is exhausting to look at!
This has so much potential to be great. Let's see
Bout time
Literally every time something “leaks”. Come on Ubisoft! We know what you’re doing
If we get to meet Aladdin, Sinbad, and Ali Baba I would be so exited. Imagine exploring the cave of wonders…
Ali Baba 40 Chor
yawns okay...
anyone saved or found the pic from other sources? the tweet has been deleted
Aaaand its deleted. Does anyone have a screenshot?
Oh man I couldn't be less interested in more AC...
But yet still took the time to comment on a post about Assassin’s Creed….
And yet here you are.
Not interested on a Middle Eastern setting. I will wait for the next assassins creed.
The thing that has me most excited is the potential removal of the level system(s).
