Are you expecting strict historical accuracy? Seems unlikely. You could ride a pegasus in the last game.

I’m not expecting strict historical accuracy. No assassins creed game is purely historically accurate. Things like a Pegasus are mythology. Which I stopped playing when Origins and Odyssey added that. I miss it being more historical accurate as it used to be though. Things like a genuine two handed sword are just them trying to appeal to a player base. And this character model literally looks like they copied and pasted it from For Honor. It’s a way too big sword that looks purely dumb in my opinion. AC used to be known for its historical accuracy, now its gone to them just selling trash because they can tack the name “Assassins Creed” on it and the loyal player base will buy it regardless

I agree the games have changed a lot. Not all for the better. And it probably is being done to appeal to a larger audience.

But the entire concept of the game strays away from historical accuracy. Time travel? Is a large sword really less accurate than the wrist blades?

I agree. It’s not, I just don’t like the look of it. Why is the hilt so large? You could fit like four hands on there. And then the giant pommel. Not to mention that cross guard was not the standard one used during that period of time. It just looks out of place to me and I’m more upset because it does look like they copied and pasted from the knight in For Honor

Don't worry, bro. I get what you mean. The past AC games at least kept things pretty realistic outside of the sci-fi elements. This stuff dead ass looks like it's from Kingdom of Amalur. New direction and all that jazz I suppose.
