Ubisoft recently announced its next foray into the Assassin’s Creed universe with “Assassin’s Creed Chronicles”. Will it be the spin-off the series needs?
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.
it looks like a nice vita game if it ever releases on it, but console wise not the life and direction id prefer
We'll still see the annual installment/sequel take place around the holiday season though.
this is just to help pay the bills ;)
i like the prince of persia flavor
So Prince Of Persia like "indie" style side scrollers?! Looks more interesting to me than the 100th 3D version with similar gameplay.
It's doubtful that any game will reinvigorate the franchise so long as Ubisoft continues to embrace some of the most conservative game design outside of Dragon Quest.
