That trailer does make the game look a lot better. Not sure if I like how the focus of these games switched from social stealth and free running to combat and sailing but as a fan that fell off around Unity I think I'd get this one on a sale.

While I don't like the pandering aspect they are doing with the series now, as well as the open world combat based RPG instead of an actual assassination game where you are told a story, this does look a lot better then Odyssey. The world itself just looks better. I mean obviously graphically it will be, but it looks more lush, like they actually made the game world look alive and not just colors slapped in the background.

I might get it next year when a complete edition is heavily discounted when I get a Series X.

I keep thinking "wtf" when they introduce this supernatural stuff into the games, but then I remember that it's basically a top of the line video game series in that world now, or something like that

AC games are like the devs asked the execs what mechanics and gameplay types they should focus on for the next game and the execs responded by snorting 14 lines of coke and saying "yes"

Not for the better either

Only thing that will get me interested in AC again is a sequel to the Caribbean game. More naval battles & pirates please.

Correct, but this game takes place like 100 years before Leif is thought to have been even born.

So they're rewriting history again (which is like, whatever) but I'm curious if it's going to be some one-off (like when Shay goes to Lisbon in AC Rogue) or if it's actually like a whole extra playable area as well.

That'll be Skull & Bones whenever it finally gets released. Not an AC game but focusing on that part of AC Black Flag

I remember the Pieces of Eden and the super advanced technology of the precursor race, but I'm talking about stuff like Anubis, minotaurs, Asgard, etc.

Yea but it was related to super advanced technology and it was background stuff. They didn't literally rewrite history for it. All of history happened as we know it with the Templars essentially being like the Illuminate, controlling things from behind the scenes. Then with Origins and trying to chase the open world rpg craze they basically said fuck it to history and started to make blatant changes to the known history parts of the games.

So they confirmed locations:

-England (which by itself is bigger than Origins' map)
-Norway
-Vinland (so yeah NA is in lmao)
-Asgard
-Jtunheimr

Still assuming the game is going to end in Masyaf.

So in this game, Asgard and Jotunheim at least are part of vision quests so you're basically just trippin balls. You don't really go there. I think.

I think the supernatural stuff is all still related to that lore.

Some of it

From what I've read the trips to Asgard and Jotunheim in the base game are not

If they make a DLC that goes there it will be though

The red line is where Valhalla's map cuts off.

Kind of disappointing but I guess those areas are not relevant to the story, plus if just that part of England is still bigger than Origins' map it's gonna take forever to traverse anyways.

That video made it seem like they're trying to make the next Witcher 3.

Which, congrats if they do. Looks like there's tons of stuff to do and isn't just mindless collecting.

I know, but not until over 100 years after this game takes place. The game starts in 873 AD and it's thought Erickson ended up in "Vinland" around the year 1000 AD.

Correct, it just means the game is going to have land-based artificial limits in it which always suck. Something like Stonehenge is going to be extremely close to the western edge of the map.

E: It also means they've going to be moving things around. They've already acknowledged Hadrian's Wall is going to be in the game and that's north of the limit shown here.

Ending better be you as "The Warrior of Stamford Bridge". Kinda like Halo: Reach with "Survive" be the last mission. I WANNA BE THE WARRIOR THAT FOUGHT OFF THE ENGLISHMEN FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE BEING CHEAP-SHOTTED.

That happens well after this game takes place.

There's a good chance this game ends in Syria >_>

Im not able to watch the video now. Does it look similar to odyssey? I loved playing through Odyssey, but I left it so burnt out after I 100%ed it. If it looks fairly similar Id probably want to pass for now.

It's the same engine as Origins/Odyssey but made by the team that made Origins.

It should be less copy-and-paste than Odyssey was.

The "complete" version is the Gold Edition which is always available at launch. Ubisoft never rereleases games with DLC included on the disc.

If the DLCs haven't been released yet but we have gold edition we'd get it when the dlc releases at no extra charge?

Yes the Gold Edition includes the Season Pass

But tbh I wouldn't buy the Gold Edition at launch, they typical drop the price on those quicker than the base game.
