This is planned as one of my first Xbox One X games. This and Forza 7.
Ancient Egypt setting, the RPG-like mechanics, and more quick pace of combat have got me pretty excited!
Definitely hit a lull with AC around the same time many did -- I liked 1, 2, and Brotherhood, didn't like Revelations and 3, felt that Black Flag would've been a lot better if it hadn't been related to AC at all, never even bothered to play Unity, and then I did enjoy Syndicate. That said, I guess I self identify more as a fairweather AC fan, and it feels like Origin is moving it in some interesting directions. I still think the apparent abandonment of the modern day storyline with Desmond is a shame, and I had much higher hopes for the direction that could've taken... But, alas, fondness for the early entries in the franchise and recent revival of interest from Syndicate has me thinking there's probably still a place for AC, even if it abandoned a big part of its early vision.
Certainly hope it pays off in a big way with Origins!
