Seriously though, I was disappointed with their show outside of Fenyx Rising. Their over-reliance on GaaS games puts most of their games under a similar template and I’m hoping for something new. A Splinter Cell announcement would go a long way to earning excitement.
You are half not right there. Towards the end of this gen their games followed a very similar template and almost felt like the game came off a production line lol. They do need to start differentiating their games, but they won’t because they have gone down the GaaS route.
Origins and Odyssey are two of my favorite games of the last several years so I’m super hyped for Valhalla, and it’s going to be a showpiece on Series X for sure.
Fenyx Rising looks great too, but I decided I’m going to wait for a discount on the ultimate edition. Ubisoft games never take too long to get discounted on XBLM.
The only recent Ubisoft games Ive liked are rainbow six and splinter cell.
There AC games are quantity over quality which is one of the biggest sin a dev can do in my book.
To be fair I have not played one since unity, but just assasination missions and loot collecting are really boring to me.
I like open world games like RDR2 where every mission has a purpose that is real.
This made me happy! I thought it had been shelved. Visuals were beautiful!
And this crushes my hopes. I was very interested during the SoT announcement. Lost all of that with the MMO/service loops. If the same is true with Skull and Bones…
November: Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs
December: Immortals
February: Far Cry and Riders Republic
5 seemingly great games coming in the span of 4 months for next gen consoles, and I am legitimitely interested in them all. And that’s not counting Just Dance for obvious reasons.
When you list out every major Ubisoft release in the next six months it’s pretty crazy (because Watch Dogs Legion and Immortals Fenyx Rising are releasing later than planned), even without including smaller stuff like Scott Pilgrim and Roller Champions.
Agreed. I have 4 Ubisoft games in the next 4 months.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (November)
Far Cry 6 (February)
Immortals Fenyx Rising (December)
Watch Dogs Legion (November)
Ubisoft also has Beyond Good and Evil 2 down the line as well as Avatar from Massive. As for Skull & Bones, please no, I don’t want it to be Sea of Thieves. It looked great a few years ago. Just needs to be the pirate version of Black Flag. Give me my fucking pirate game you assholes!!! The blueprint is right there!!! SMH.
(cries) because I know im not getting the pirate game that I want (cries)
maybe after the whole open world cancer dies down at their company. The only reason PoP is back is it’s just a remake, they probably had to sit down and cry about how it’s going against their open world ethos to bring back one of their games from a time not ridden by their current approach to every IP.
