Stop burning Ass creed people got tired of it.

 

[Bonfires Down]

No, they just need to cut their super bloated staff in half.

It’s actually surprising how many flops they’ve recently considering how successful Valhalla was. Valhalla is like the epitome of generic bloated Ubislop so why did those other games fail? Seems like Mirage was successful too so maybe they just need to focus everything on AC.

I’m sorry. I cursed it into existence.

Early word on the 10 games in development:

Assassin’s Creed: Willy Wonka's Deadly Chocolate Factory Travel to an alternate Victorian England, where you must infiltrate the secret underbelly of Willy Wonka’s chocolate empire. As a stealthy assassin, sabotage Oompa-Loompas armed with candy-coated throwing knives and uncover Wonka's sinister plans for world domination through mind-controlling sweets.

Assassin’s Creed: Shark Tanked Disguised as an entrepreneur pitching to the Templar-controlled Shark Tank, you must convince billionaire Templars to invest in fake businesses, then eliminate them in boardroom ambushes. Use gadgets disguised as business products and outmaneuver rival assassins pitching their own deadly ideas.

Assassin’s Creed: Project Runway to the Grave Undercover as a fashion designer, you must craft killer couture that both wows the judges and hides deadly weapons. Sabotage Templar designers, eliminate runway models with poison-threaded garments, and assassinate your way to becoming the most feared designer in fashion history.

Assassin’s Creed: Green Eggs and Stab Dr. Seuss’s worlds are under siege by the Templars, and only you can stop them by assassinating villainous versions of beloved characters. Sneak into Whoville and Sam-I-Am’s farm, uncovering plots to weaponize green eggs and ham into mind-controlling breakfast food.

Assassin’s Creed: The View’s Verbal Assassins As an assassin embedded within The View's talk show panel, you must eliminate guests who are secretly Templars pushing global agendas, all while engaging in heated on-air debates. Use poison-laced coffee mugs and cutting-edge gossip to carry out your missions before commercial breaks.

Assassin’s Creed: 90-Day Assassin You are an assassin sent undercover into the world of 90 Day Fiancée, using reality TV as a front to track down Templars hiding among international couples. Sabotage chaotic weddings and deadly honeymoons, all while navigating the complexities of love, immigration, and deadly conspiracies.

Assassin’s Creed: Keeping Up with the Templars In a world where the Kardashians are secretly the heads of the modern-day Templar Order, you must infiltrate their glamorous lives and end their global influence. Sabotage their reality TV empire, disable Instagram algorithms that brainwash viewers, and eliminate celebrity allies in couture-styled assassinations.

Assassin’s Creed: Love Island of Death You’re sent to a tropical villa where contestants on Love Island are actually Templars competing for power, not love. Use beachside stealth tactics, sabotaging pool parties and romantic dinners to quietly eliminate targets while pretending to couple up.

Assassin’s Creed: The Grand Tour of Treachery Team up with The Grand Tour hosts as they unknowingly test-drive vehicles built by Templars. As an assassin, you must sabotage the world’s most expensive cars and execute high-speed assassinations on race tracks across the globe, all while maintaining the illusion of a “friendly competition.”

Assassin’s Creed: Dance Dance Deatholution Enter the cutthroat world of reality dance competitions, where choreographers and judges are secretly high-ranking Templars. Use the rhythm of the dance floor to execute moves that not only impress the judges but also conceal your deadly strikes mid-routine.

This could also be the scripts of The Fast and the Furious XI-XXI.

 

[Hypereides]

If true, great contingency plan, Ubisoft. This also comes with remakes of all Assassin's Creeds up till now, right? Can't have enough of Assassin's Creed, y'know.

While they're at it, they should just rename the company into "The Assassin's Creed company", just for clarity's sake.

 

[Killer8]

The death of this company cannot come soon enough.

EXCLUSIVE - Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake is Closer Than You Think

New details on the Assassin's Creed franchise, including a surprise details that the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake.

insider-gaming.com

I'm curious about their Assassins Creed online hub. It has a lot of potential.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I mean we already kind of knew about this, they announced ac infinity as the hub experience to connect all the future games together and have most of them be different experiences, the article mentions this as well, it's not literally 10 ac shadows scale sequels obviously.
We already got ac nexus, which is the vr game, so there's probably more vr coming
Then there's ac shadows, the traditional giant open world game, ac hexe which is supposedly a more linear experience, invictus which is a multiplayer game, ac jade which is a mobile game, and black flag which is a remake, that's already 6 games all doing something different and targeting different audiences.

 

[ReyBrujo]

At least 6 of those 10 will be ports for Switch 2.

 

[Tajaz2426]

No luck needed, sir. It is nothing but pixels on a screen, no need to wish it didn’t have microtransactions and a storefront front. If game is good and has a store, I don’t purchase, if said game was good and has no store then I’ll open the wallet.

I’m not the caring type when it comes to fictional characters on a screen. I bought Elden Ring for my PC and PS5 when it released and the DLC, so I’m eating pretty good.

 

[SportsFan581]

Because what else do you do when a yearly release is already causing player fatigue?

 

[AngelMuffin]

Yup. That lasted 2 years i think. After origins i believe.

What a shit studio ubi has morphed in to.

*shit publisher

 

[SHA]

That's a lot of brain damage right there.

 

[Allandor]

If the games are good, ok. If not than not.bbut the question is not really laid out for such an answer.

 

[Kenpachii]

Creative bankrupt company.

 

[SHA]

5 mobile, 5 legit, that's much better I guess.

 

[JimmyRustler]

As long as they are good… Ala Mirage I mean. That game was legit.

 

[PurePlatinum]

Who gives two shits about anything Ubisoft puts out that isn't the Raymen Legends / Prince of Persia game? Their games are disposable garbage and the market treats them like disposable garbage.

 

[Brakum]

Ubisoft:

-What went wrong?

-Double that.

 

[Valonquar]

 

[Mercador]

Why not call themselves Ubicreed at this point?

 

[TGO]

Just like the rest of the industry, just milk the last thing the talent made before you push them out.

 

[Jesb]

And this is why they will be gone. Quality doesn’t matter.

 

[semiconscious]

'how can i miss you if you won't go away?'...

 

[SJRB]

That sounds like a threat.

 

[March Climber]

1. AC Shadows
2. AC Hexe
3. AC Jade
4. AC Infinity (Multiplayer)
5. AC Black Flag (Remake)

That means another potential remake (probably AC1) which means 6. Even if they make two more mobile games (because last time they came in a set of 3) that still leaves 2.

5 years?

Are they morphing Watch Dogs and Splinter Cell into the AC brand? Assassin's Creed: Watch Dogs? Assassin's Creed: Splinter Cell? Spies vs Templars?

 

[Imtjnotu]

If only game companies listened to their fans and what they would like.

Could you imagine the happy state of the gaming industry if this was reality....

 

[Nydius]

This plan of cranking out games at a breakneck pace worked out great for the plastic instrument rhythm games back in the day. Go for it Ubisoft!

(Sarcasm, if anyone can’t tell.)

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

Who's still buying this crap ass 2 and brotherhood only good ones although 4 was alright there shit games

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Last game I bought on day one from Ubi was Valhalla, and it was disappointing. I'll likely never buy a day one Ubi game ever again.

 

[March Climber]

If only game companies listened to their fans and what they would like.

Could you imagine the happy state of the gaming industry if this was reality....

Most of the ones who are listening are currently being ignored by news cycles and GAF. Negativity gets more clicks on average than the good stuff.

 

[Drell]

Why do they wish their games to be seen as mcdonald's food?

 

[Danny22]

None of their other IPs have really gone anywhere (watch dogs 3 was seen as a dissapointment, far cry 6 was seen as more far cry, they don't make AAA prince of persia games) meanwhile AC Valhalla became their second biggest hit so no surprises they're doing this. As others have said, these AC games will be different to each other, targeting different platforms and scopes.

AC infinity is a financially great idea if they can pull it off (keep updating all new AC games simultaneously) so essentially releasing new types of games and having periodic new content for all or any basically making them all live service as much as they want to. I also think they've finally learned their lesson of not forcing their games to release in Oct/Nov to hit the winter boost, they're actually delaying a big game out of that date. So I think they'll survive if they actually focus on not being okay with just constantly releasing 75-84 AAA metacritic games.

Good, love me some AC.

[Angry_Megalodon]

As someone who once loved this saga (it had the potential to be among the best) this is pretty sad.

If well made, an AC could have been an event game like GTA. Shame on them.

Bankrupt bankrupt. BANKRUPT.

Paid DLC daily to change the colour of said skirt.

DLC for scrubbing brushes to wash the sand out of his vagina didn't make the cut.

Mother of god, they don't know what to do... They genuinely don't know... I'm amazed how ubi leading people are mediocre at best...

 

[Ceadeus]

I was playing Fenix Rising yesterday and to my surprise, Ubi is cancelling the sequel. The game is awesome, feels fresh and should get a sequel but no. Instead we're getting so much assassin's creed they're going to saturate their OWN brand.

I was playing Fenix Rising yesterday and to my surprise, Ubi is cancelling the sequel. The game is awesome, feels fresh and should get a sequel but no. Instead we're getting so much assassin's creed they're going to saturate their OWN brand.

From VGC:

VGC understands Immortals: Fenyx Rising did find a modest audience, but a lot of it came via discounting. And to put it into context, its sales in Europe were around 70% lower than what Assassin’s Creed Valhalla managed to achieve over a similar timeframe.

The game just did not sell well. To move units, Ubisoft had to steeply discount the price to bargain bin.

The truth is that a lot of their IP that people clamor for would either not sell that well (Rayman, BG&E) or would only sell with an AAA investment (AA Prince of Persia sales flop in 2024 ).

They’ve absolutely screwed themselves into a corner by not establishing multiple pillars. Perhaps they should really have taken a stab at bringing back AAA Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia, or going the AAA remake route.

Quality issues have also screwed them. See how Watchdogs was killed by a mediocre last game.

 

[SJRB]

Fenix Rising was wonderful but in typical big publisher braindead takes the game sold decently but didn't make a bazillion dollars so of course they immediately pulled the plug.

Because what good is a game that only does reasonably well? We're in the business to make as much money as possible, you see.

 

[Ceadeus]

Yea it sucks that we don't get the sequel, i liked fenix rising.

You as well huh, well it's a bit like if it was a compact version of BotW. The world is genuinely interesting to explore and to fulfill the various challenges. It has a nice story, couple characters here and there, tons of collectables, addictive character progression and many biomes with each it's color palette.

One of the thing a sequel could have brought is having multiple interiors including expansive dungeons to explore and conquer.

As fenix rising was based on odyssey, i would have loved to see a origin take in the sequel. Sadly we won't be seeing on.
