But is it gonna be any good?

If you only get the $70 standard edition? No. If you dish out $115 for the mega deluxe edition? Also, no. If you buy the $15 battle pass each month, still, no.

Lmao appreciate the insight, duly noted.

the teams working on various Assassin’s Creed games are “part of the brand” and it’s important that all the studios are talking to each other to avoid “redoing work.”

Sounds like they are handicapped by the formulaic structure setup for the AC IP.

I guess it will be akin to previous releases, just more stealth focused again. Potentially.

I would love an AC game made similarly to the style of Dishonored or even Uncharted and the latest Tomb Raider games. Less focus of filling out huge maps and can focus on capturing a more intimate and immersive story that could heavily play into stealth and assasin mechanics.

Just my 5 cents though. A man can dream, lol.

Yet it still feels like it came out the year after the last one

From the article:

[Ubisoft Quebec] started working on Shadows in 2020. That means when it arrives in November it will have been in development for four years, which is longer than normal.
