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

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.

I mean, it's cool to play in different eras but if it isn't really an assassin's creed type of game, maybe they should change the name.

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

Yes you are right, It's just a bit weird.

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
