I don't understand Ubisoft.

I don't play assassin Creed games anymore, but don't the fans want to have one set in Asia, particularly in Japan, for decades? Why are they so afraid of creating this?

 

[Belthazar]

This'll probably be the first Ass Creed game I play since Black Flag. I hate the new direction the franchise is going, so a return to what came before might do the trick for me.

Iraq is Asia. Checkmate.

The comparisons with Tsushima will be brutal if they ever do a Japan game.

 

[Edgelord79]

Would like to know more. Looks interesting!

 

[Elbereth]

My first AC was Valhalla, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Keeping my eye on this.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Never thought I'd see the day again.

Really? Cause that day happened already two years ago with valhalla, which has blending to get past guards to assasinate targets.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

I just wish they have more cutscenes like that in Mirage:

 

[Shubh_C63]

Is this the first time Assassins Creed announcement didn't got leaked before the official announcement.

 

[Arachnid]

Fix the stealth. I've bought the last two ACs for 10 dollars with DLC. I'd like to buy one at launch, but make it a proper stealth game.

 

[01011001]

looks like proper Assassin's Creed again on first glance at least.

so this could be good, they now have the hardware power to really use the concepts of AC1 and 2 and perfect them.

large crowds to hide in and to manipulate to your advantage, dense cities with lots of parcour possibilities and open ended ways to assassinate your target with more complex leveldesign (maybe inspired by Hitman)

 

[01011001]

The comparisons with Tsushima will be brutal if they ever do a Japan game.

not really, AC (Odyssey and Origins in particular) has a better fighting system at the very last, and if they reduce the map clutter they could make a way better game than Ghost of Tsushima.
but being Ubisoft I bet they can't keep themselves from cluttering the map once again

I know. After all their trilogies/duologies/anthologies set in countries of close proximity where they could reuse a decent amount of assets, You'd think they would have done a Japan, China, Korea combo by now.

The comparisons with Tsushima will be brutal if they ever do a Japan game.

Brutal in what way? Aside from the fun and impressive combat, Tsushima is by all means an Ubisoft game in structure anyway. Ubisoft has the manpower to make a Japan AC that dwarfs Tsushima in scale, detail, and beauty. AC games may not have depth or tolerable game design, but games like Unity and Origins are as gorgeous and impressively built as they come.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Looking forward to end more

[Shivvy24]

Looks like it's set in India if that's the Taj Mahal in the background

Edit : nvm it's Baghdad

 

[Sybrix]

A new AC that goes back to its roots and moves away from Origins and Valhalla can only be a good thing.

 

[cash_longfellow]

I can’t wait to kill Saddam…that guy has had it coming for so long.

 

[Barakov]

A new AC that's a normal ass Assassin's Creed game sounds fantastic. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Wish they went to Iran instead of Bagdad. Considering thats where the actual assassin order came from. And there would be alot more biomes available and more shizzle lol

 

[Business]

Okay, we'll see.
Now, as they did in Valhalla, I hope to see white men with blond hair in Badgad. Well, diversity has to work both ways, right?

Spoiler

It's obviously a joke

Don’t you know a 100% middle eastern cast is 100% diverse?

 

[Rush2112]

Please let it be a stealth based game. Tired of facerolling entire armies.

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

If the rumors are true and this is turning back into a stealth/assassin franchise as opposed to an open world RPG I might buy it Day 1

 

[fran.fernandez]

Last ac I finish was 2 on console and later the psp version.

Got to play Viking on with PlayStation plus.

Same awful shit… gave up after 1 hour.

 

[Laptop1991]

I like and own them all, only 3 i didn't finish or like, so i'm interested to find out about the game, i hope it's not gaas and a whole sp experience, i wonder if it will be open world or more like the previous games and stealth returns properly. gonna check on the 10th.

 

[EDMIX]

Finally not a rpg overload AssCreed.

I mean...thats still being made though so....yea. The team that did Valhalla is working on some other open world RPG light one.

They'd be dumb not to have both lol

 

[Pagusas]

India… yeah that wasn’t even in the list of locations I was hoping for.

 

[March Climber]

I can't get excited for AC anymore. It's always the exact same experience. Too long, too monotonous and too Ubisoftey. I'll get the gold edition when it's 20 bucks,play it for ten hours and never touch it again. Rinse and repeat.

I've taken a step back from it all recently and I've realized that the Far Cry and AC games are the comfort food of AAA action gaming. When you just want more of a relaxing and familiar experience in a game instead of extremely sweaty try hard gameplay, that's what you go to those two franchises for. It's why most of their game interfaces are so hand-holding too. Not everyone will like that but it's okay with me

 

[Amiga]

Okay, we'll see.

White men with blond hair were more common in old Bagdad than you think.

I'll keep the champagne on Ice.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Hello,

I took the opportunity of a video about to correct an information/a bad translation (the one concerning "multiple cities") to make some new revelations about Assassin's Creed Mirage.

• I confirm that Baghdad is the only city in the game BUT DIVIDED into multiple zones (4 normally, each with a boss). There will be desert, oases and rivers around.
• Return of throwing knives
• Return of the hiding places on the roofs
• Lots of NPCs in the streets (the goal is to have as many as in Unity)
• Lots of interactions for the parkour such as "lanterns" to turn around the corner of a wall or poles to reach distant buildings (example at 7:03 on the video)
• Some assassinations will be in slow-motion (especially aerial assassinations)

I've pretty much said everything about the little details, I'll let Ubisoft reveal the game to you on September 10. I will come back to talk about the script in a few months when I have more info

 

[LaughingStock]

Going back to its roots is a good idea. This RPGish formula they've been using since origins is already tired.

 

[TheTony316]

Old school AC? Sign me up.

Iraq is in Western Asia...

 

[names are for friends]

Um, yet another Ass Creed game in sand locations? Are the child slaves at Ubisoft Yemen who make new assets on strike or something

Iraq is in Western Asia...

*the Middle East :trollface:

You'd prefer yet another game involving the open sea and boats?

 

[mortal]

[names are for friends]

Black Flag is still probably the best game in the series and the last one I bothered to play for more than an hour so yeah, sure! But I'd also like if they made for eg. something set in China. It clearly has a lot of untapped potential given their vast history and the Chinese market will like it.

 

[Robb]

Looking forward to seeing it!

 

[Aaron Olive]

The PoP remake certainly looks weird now.

Yeah pop is dead, no point to release 2 games with the same era / localization, plus the remake was half assed effort.

 

[dcx4610]

Glad it looks like it's going to back to basics and the religious era but they really need to take a break from Assassin's Creed games in general. I've played and beat them all but there are just so many freaking many of them and they are a slog to get through with how open world they've become.

 

[legacy24]

sounds promising but please don't bloat the game like these RPG style AssCreed games lately, just make it 20-30 hours at most and I will buy it

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

Here is a picture of ancient Baghdad to wet your apatite.

Ehh, looks more like modern Erbil.

 

[ThatPolishGuy]

each time I lose more hope on having a mesoamerican Assassin's Creed at the apogee of Aztec civilization.

That would be cool. Maybe do a more tight AC like Origins- less like Odessey and Valhalla, they had pyramids too so I think it would work or Japan - but after Ghost of Tsushima I bet they are afraid they won't top it... But honestly I got tired of level up formula and bloated maps with question marks- next AC should be 25-30h game tops, then they could actually do a high quality AC game. Will see how this one turns out.

 

[Rodolink]

yeah I love Japan and all japanese stuff, but there are so many more civilizations and cultures that are interesting.

 

[ShirAhava]

Remember when this series got run into the ground and then they made like five more? good times

I stopped at Liberation on the Vita (Edit. holy shit that was ten years ago maybe I'll check this one out)

 

[DAHGAMING]

I can’t wait to kill Saddam…that guy has had it coming for so long.

Where does Saddam keep hes CDs ?

In a rack (Iraq)

 

[Luck]

If its another Origins/Odysey/Valhalla - I will pass,
If it much, much smaller game like the original series - I might give a another chance

 

[Hoppa]

Where did he jump from.. I’ll get it, I know what to expect and I like it
