currently I'm on Unity, so I have:
Syndicate
Origins
Odyssey
Valhala

to finish before this comes out, lets go

You will die halfway 1/4th through Odyssey if you binge them all.

Depends on the expectations.

Play Syndicate and Origins, next two games are more of the same and you can always finish them later, they are also super fucking long and story missions require grinding XP.

Goes gold. Launches a bit earlier. Can someone tell me why the fuck other games don’t do this lol

I guess because all the marketing is aimed at one date. Releasing it 1 week earlier or later could lead to confusion.

I almost guarantee you will never want to play another AC game again if you even get half way through Odyssey after finishing the previous games, let alone starting Valhalla, which is easily the worst out of them all.

Origins is between 40-50 hours if you don't just B line it through the main story and do some side stuff (which is almost required due to level gating quests). Odyssey is around 50-60 hours (same game as Origins but set in Greece and longer) and then Valhalla which is even longer than both of the previous games but worse.

Best of luck to you though!

Last time I remember this happening was Dead Space 1, the original in 2008. It was scheduled to release on Halloween, then about the middle of Sept they announced, "Good news, we finished the game earlier than expected, now it's releasing on Oct 15." Good times.

 

[ReBurn]

Looks like they have the release in the Baghdad.

Intentionally terrible.

I'll grab it when it costs a Jackson.

 

[Arsic]

Damn that’s going gold very early. Did they manage to avoid crunch on this title ?

Honestly a really good date for me. If it reviews well I’ll get the Ubisoft plus for a month. $15 to play and complete before spidey 2 seems worth it to me.

 

[EDMIX]

This game looks amazing and I happy for AC fans, I just don't have the time and I've pretty much have set what games I'll play this year. (thats no knock to the game btw)

I'll check it out spring next year.

Baldur's Gate 3
Starfield
Spiderman 2


annnnnnnd thats my year folks lol Sprinkle in some backlog and I just don't see me buying anything else day 1, but still hype for this game as Ubisoft has a lot of teams that do a great job.

"Going gold" means basically nothing in the age of Day 1 Patches

 

[cash_longfellow]

The original release date was just a mirage….you missed an opportunity OP, I’m disappointed in you

 

[DeepEnigma]

It usually means it won't be delayed. So there's that.

Exactly. And buying physical won't help you when a game's servers go down because all you'll have is the broken beta that's encoded on your plastic disc.

AC games don't flop.

While most of us in here are nuts about video games let's not forget about the devoted casuals who only buy a couple of games a year.

Like my cousin who always buys the new AC or Call of Duty.
He's busy with work and 2 kids. When asked why he keeps buying those games he replies "Well, because it's "AC" or "COD".
He doesn't care about reviews or opinions he just buys them.

 

[Dr.brain64]

This, spider 2 and I'm set.

Assassin's Creed Mirage's Teleportation Ability Is Dividing Fans

Basim is so quick that it looks like he can teleport, and some fans aren't best pleased about that.

Well, I think it was in AC Brotherhood, you could literally summon assassin's out of nowhere to take people out. There all kinds of unrealistic situations in these games so I don't see why this one would be any different.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Sweeeet.

 

[hussar16]

I don't understand why this game couldn't have come out last year honestly. Maybe ubisoft really did delay it to add extra content to make it worthwhile like the old games
