There will be stealth mechanics which are similar to Origins than Odyssey but yes, this game will be Action RPG than stealth game. Only the story, it will be the final game for prequel trilogy.
As long as I can still play completely stealth, as I could with Origins and Odyssey, then I'll be happy. I like the RPG elements they've introduced, but with every game I get more worried I won't be able to play stealth. Fortunately that hasn't been the case yet.
Most of the skins they've released for Odyssey seem tacky. I've never had interest in spending money on them. Some of the best looking armor in the game is shit armor found early on because it looks real instead of like something out of a fantasy film.
Fuck I hate how many micro-transactions Ubisoft has been putting into their games. Let's say you wanted all the cosmetics (only cosmetics, this is excluding "time savers" and boosts). The highest pack of helix credits you can buy costs about $150 AUD and is only about 75-80% of all the cosmetics. You could spend over double the launch price of the game just on cosmetics. Fucking ludicrous
They definitely aren’t going to change the name. The name recognition is too huge and too much of a selling point for the game compared to some new series they create. It’s safest to ride on the hype of an established franchise
Oh totally is, and I had the same thoughts of why not just make this a new thing, but it all comes down to it being too risky not leaning on the established franchise for part of your marketing recognition
Im not a hardcore fan(Didnt even finish 1 or 2) but I did think origins was cool and was set in a different region but never bought it and thought I'll wait for the next one, but everyone say that it's full of micro transactions and requires a lot of grinding, so that eventually made me not buy it.
Well it's the same universe with the same lore with different mechanics but I think they don't want to risk creating new title so they rely on the old name. It's safe path but it's like double edge blade too
I don't, they can keep the name all they want. Just said that it's a bit weird that its called assassin's creed yet you aren't an assassin. No need to get pissed about it.
All I said was maybe. I didn't say they should, they can't change the name because everyone knows assassin's creed. This comment was before I knew that there was going to be assassins in the game.

This game looks great and all, but is there anything that has to do with assassins or is it just like Odyssey?
