Ubisoft’s Planned King Arthur Game Was Nixed by Ex-Creative Head

From Bloomberg: "When Ubisoft Entertainment SA hired Mike Laidlaw, the well-respected designer of the Dragon Age video game series, in late 2018, expectations were high. Fans were excited to see what kind of game he might be dreaming up next.

In fact, Laidlaw was directing development of a role-playing game code-named Avalon, according to people familiar with the project. It was a big-budget adventure involving stories of King Arthur and his Round Table in a sword-and-sorcery fantasy world full of knights and legends. But just over a year later, before releasing any games, Laidlaw quit."

Jason is becoming a joke with his punches at big companies in exchange for "we don't know what yet".

The insunuations he makes and the kind of people he signals are making him the true king of the beggars.

That's a shame even though it's not true history I would like more games based on historical and actual legends like King Arthur.

I’ve been constantly thinking about it while playing Ghost of Tsushima.
Sucker Punch could/should do it.

That would have been awesome. Still love the classic Excalibur movie and that music. A game would have been a classic if based on it.

Side note, after playing Ghost so far, now I want an original martial arts game in Japan or China or a game based on Ip Man or Bruce Lee or Wong Fei Hung. I can see the fighting system using Ghosts battle system now. Just salivating thinking about the stand offs.

Ubisoft is so lame again

Just make Prince of Persia or sell the rights of it to a consistent publisher like SIE, as the fans are roaring a lot for a new entry.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Preview - Game Informer

Marcus Stewart - "My biggest takeaway from Shadow of the Erdtree is that – surprise – it’s more Elden Ring. It’s the most unexciting take imaginable, but outside of the intriguing yet not immediately noticeable wrinkle added by the Scadutree upgrades, it’s a new excuse to revisit a world I love. It’s tough to get a sense of the expansion’s narrative implications and to be honest, that’s the last thing I care about in this game, as interesting as its lore is on the surface. All I want is to experience a new gauntlet of trials and surprises, and Shadow of the Erdtree seems poised to deliver that and then some."
