An announcement of an announcement is the most backwards thing the marketing industry invented. This is ridiculous.
It took so long for an AC in Japan that we already got two games that fill that niche with Ghost of Tsushima and Rise of the Ronin. No way Ubisoft doesn't fumble this with their certified Ubi Formula.

I'll pick it up on sale. I think they must know they are up against Ghost of Tsushima and Rise of Ronin. I'm excited to see gameplay.

I hope it's better than both piles of shit tbh.
A better origin would be my hope based on their last games.

I hate these announcements of announcements.
Who ever thought this was a good idea? And can they really not see how pretentious it all is?

Wouldn't be an Ubisoft game without the fucking PRE-ORDER BONUSES and season pass being revealed before the game.

Can for once Ubisoft make an Assassin's Creed with actually good combat? If they can do that it will help cover up their formulaic gameplay loop. Shitty combat mechanics is just the death nail to all their recent AC games

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Nextgen only, being set in Japan and being the next evolution of Anvil has me excited for this game.
If its super bloated ill be turning off a ton of icons in the game so I can just have fun exploring, the options in Avatar can really transform the experience if you just set up the icons and markers properly.
So I hope the settings menu is as granualar as Avatar.

This will destroy both of those games. Bet on it

It's not woke. Yasuke was a real samurai in the 16th century and is pretty famous. He was also in Nioh. But yeah, you should probably skip it.

Just release a video of a French dude saying "you play as a black guy in Japan," and from that statement alone, you'll instantly decide whether it's a buy or skip.

I didn't realise only one Japanese person existed back then. What a coincidence he happened to be black... how lucky
God forbid we highlight and explore Japanese history with iconic Japanese samurai/Ronin etc

I get it, you don't want to play a game with a historically accurate black guy. Move on then.I didn't realise only one Japanese person existed back then. What a coincidence he happened to be black... how lucky

Those colorful banners are making me hopeful.
Are we going to see completely new art style??

Who gives a fuck there were historically accurate white and Latin guys in Japan too.
I want them to explore Japanese history just like they've done with every other entry up to this point.
Why don't you want to play as a Japanese person?

After all this time i'm not sure if they are physically capable of doing good combat in an ac game.
The best iteration was origins\odissey and it was just decent on its best day.

Hell yeah, new Ubisoft towers to climb in the new art style.

It's so hard to be excited for any Ubi game, any more. Even SW Outlaws I'm like "ehhh???" like afraid to get my hopes up. Sign of the times

Hope they overhaul the combat, I want skill based gameplay.

I liked The Last Samurai actually. I've also played lots of games with Japanese leads, like Ghost of Tsushima. I don't have a problem with a Yasuke game either. Sounds like an incredibly interesting and unique story. Kind of shocked it didn't happen earlier.

An announcement for an Announcement.… which will be a ”cinematic“ world premier which is basically a CG trailer…
Yawn.
Yawn.

I love assassins creed but with katanas and such I’m looking towards the gameplay even more this time . The counter feature in GOT and ROTR is pretty addictive so I’m excited for that this time around .

Not sure if its cause of woke stuff as that character is based on true historical character, but either way, the meltdown after the reveal is gonna be something else

All the other entries so far didn't have actual historical figures as the main character at all, so as far as "exploring history" goes this is actually an improvement.

Current-gen only Assassin's Creed, btw.

Can't wait to play a white guy in Africa. Of course, this will never happen and we very well know why
As for the accuracy, I might be wrong but I have read on multiple occasions that this black samurai was not an actual samurai but a samurai's servant or something like that.

So to be clear. This game would only be interesting to you if the skin tone of the main character is not that of a Japanese person because. You've played a game with a Japanese person before.
I feel like there's probably many Japanese heroes/villains that many of us don't know about that would have been both interesting and unique. But we'll never get that game from ubisoft and sweet baby
In a ubisoft game. In what kind of la la wonderland you are living?

Most likely a larger games as Mirage originally started as just a DLC to Valhalla which got expanded to its own smaller game

No. Literally never even slightly implied this. I'm done with this stupid conversation.

It just sucks because on a technical level they create some of the best game worlds in the industry. If they can't emphasize good combat in a feudal Japan AC game, they never will. It doesn't even need to be super deep, just make it visceral and satisfying like Ghost of Tsushima. Shit shouldn't be hard
BTW, I'm pretty Ubisoft is releasing this trailer now instead of at their direct next month because of Ghost of Tsushima 2, which will most likely be shown later this month at Sony's event

I mean i would of loved if we had a fake character and yasuke gets involved in our adventures. That'd be very inline with what to expect from asscreed.
