I personally liked Mirage more than both, I liked having the singular city as a setting. It felt like the original AC but with Quality of Life stuff from the new ones.

As much as Ubisoft is in a delicate moment, to say that Assassins Creed is in trouble in February is at least to forget the impact of this franchise that is more popular than everything that will come out in February (except Monster Hunter)
It's very different and more stealth focused. I personally got bored and quit halfway through. I think it's the first Assassin's Creed I didn't finish.
Personally, I think it's the best AC Game in years. Its a return to the parkour and social stealth of the originals.
They did collectibles in a great way too which gives you more info about the time period.
I am a huge AC Fan though.
Apparently according to YouTuber Jonathan (Ubisoft leaker) says that the game is not great in any aspect besides the bugs that the game has.
I don't know how 3 months will fix that. This Assassins Creed looks really bad.
If it doesn't have a good story, good characters and great gameplay, I think it could crash the same way Star Wars Outlaws did.

Right like Outlaws should have been a slam dunk and it wasn't (same with Avatar), I don't think people should automatically assume Shadows will be a big hit
Where is he getting this from? I feel like we've been hearing offhand reports for months that devs are really happy with how the game is turning out.
I always ask those people why such a launcher wouldn't fail like all the others and have yet to get a clear answer.
The ONLY scenarios a mainline AC should be scared of is if Rockstar or CD Projekt RED drops something somewhat close to it. Other than that, they should be fine. Valhalla made $1 billion in 15 months.
That said, its a good thing Ubisoft is scared enough to delay the game. A while back they wouldn't care, but these days? They cant afford a Unity moment anymore.

This just feels like a summary of everything we already know
The really interesting thing is including the first DLC if you preorder, imo that is an amazing incentive to preorder. Its basically what, a free $15 extra? Much better than the usual bullshit skin which makes no real impact since you get better ones in game quite rapidly.
The only real question now is what the DLCs will be, how many, how long apart, will there be a season pass or not, etc. Story DLCs are great and worth the price, but sometimes Ubisoft releases those bullshit "challenge" DLCs where its just recycled content in a horde mode or whatever.
If they drop the gold/ultimate editions too, and I don't see how they don't given no early access and stuff anymore, it makes preordering easier too since there will likely only be 2 editions - standard and deluxe ($10 of extra DLCs/starter boost items).
Still, it doesn't solve the fundamental problem of the game will be 30% off in 60 days and bigger discounts later, but losing the free DLC even with the discount is an interesting tradeoff.

He said that from what he knew, the story was less interesting than that of Ezio, Connor, Edward or Bayek.

"Ubisoft was planning to release a Splinter Cell Blacklist Remastered in 2024, announcement would have been in July."
That would have been amazing if true. Don't give me hope.
A cursory check of his timeline tells me that dude is a dipshit right winger who's been concern trolling the series for ages so why are we listening to him again
Good luck to all those splitting the sales.
MH and AC are too big and abroad, some of the others will hurt.
Also, gonna be "fun" watching the anti woke KCD2 vs woke AC social war.
Even if AC is going to sell pretty well, I think their run up marketing of the game has been pretty awful for a Japan AC which has been asked for ages.
Hopefully all of them sell good
Just saw this news, sucks that the game is delayed but I'm absolutely stoked that it's releasing day one on Steam. I probably wasn't going to buy day 1 but I will now just to support the Steam day 1 release.
Well, he's been right about all the Assassin's Creed-related leaks. Even Tom Henderson has corroborated his information on certain occasions.
Having some information is one thing, but his opinion on the story is not the same.
He's gotten stuff right but I got the sense he was kinda hit-and-miss. But either way, unless they've allowed him to play through the game I'm not sure his leaker credentials have any bearing on story opinions
I hope you're right because an interesting story is one of the basic pillars of an Assassin's Creed game and they must not fail in that.
No he's always been spot on. You may not agree with his opinions but the info is reliable.
like I said, he's definitely gotten stuff right! But I'm pretty sure he was the one claiming Ubisoft was using AC Mirage to set up an Assassin's Creed 1 Remake, which would be announced and included as part of that game's season pass. Ubi dismissed the rumour, and obviously that never came to pass (the remake or any Mirage Season Pass)
