GamesRadar - When Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China was announced last year as part of Unity’s cancelled Season Pass, it looked like a pretty addition to the franchise but perhaps something that would sit better on mobiles than the intended PS4, Xbox One and PC. Side-scrolling 2.5D stabbing? Really? The AC universe is surely all about exploration and freedom? But, now part of a trilogy that also travels to both India and Russia, it transpires that this is a much more substantial affair than we thought. Going hands on with Chronicles: China and Chronicles: India proves that the series fits 2.5D like the arm of a certain Italian nobleman into a Da Vinci designed gauntlet.
Despite what Ubisoft previously suggested, all their non-compatible games are compatible with the PlayStation 5.
It seems they didn't have a real answer prepared and just wanted to under promise initially.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The stealth genre is one that some would argue doesn’t even exist – many titles include stealth elements, but actually fit into one of a number of other genres like action, platformer, or third-person shooter. Ever since the breakout success of the Metal Gear franchise (in particular Metal Gear Solid), though, the genre seems on much more stable footing and it demonstrated that you can have a veritable blockbuster on your hands relying only on stealth mechanics as the main gameplay element.
In recent years we’ve seen other things like Assassin’s Creed, Hitman and Splinter Cell continue to push the genre forward, although it still has somewhat limited appeal. Thankfully, the Vita has a healthy selection of stealth games available (and even more with backwards-compatibility), meaning if you’re looking to do some sneaking on the go then you’ll be well served with the console."
Twinfinite Writes: The Assassin's Creed series has been all around history at this point, but there are still plenty of time periods that would be a perfect fit for the franchise.
Yeah although I wouldn't like a wild west one.
I would say the hundred year war would be my favourite and world war settings.
But as mr_cheese says am sure they will all get covered at some point..
I would like a spartacus one most of all though, that would of been there best story for the next assassins creed in my eyes, especially if a good portion of the game was to be captured, be raised in a ludus, fight for freedom in the collesium and raise hordes to kill off the Romans..
Even if they used 7 of these, you'd still find a way to make a multiple page article out this topic.
I really don't understand the obsession with a Japanese setting. We already have 3 big games set in Ancient Japan coming out next year, we seriously don't need another one.
I don't think constantly writing about something is going to change anyone's mind when they already have plans to do something a certain way . It will eventually only make your readers annoyed, and you look obsessive.
