The artist probably. It's from Ubisoft's Twitter. It does look shit though.
Isaiah Bennett
Those little dragon/wolf heads are cool but I'm not sure about the jeweled crest thing. Looks too Eastern. I know the vikings had loot from afar but I don't think it fits with the hidden blade
Benjamin Garcia
How do you think they are going to shoehorn in Jormungandr?
Nathan Edwards
Yeah, the Hidden Blade is established to be of Persian origin in Odyssey but this version doesn't fit with the rest of the gear.
Nicholas Allen
I just hope it's a different setting than Sons of Lodbrok. It's so overdone.
Elijah Jenkins
>>shield wall battles I hope that's true, they dropped the ball with Odyssey (Leonidas throws his shield away when entering combat)
Why are they chasing meme setting instead of gradually building the franchise in chronological order as they did before >make a game called Origins >make a huge-ass map with Greece on it according to Yas Forums leak that was at least mostly true >cut the greece out >instead of making roman greece sequel it's le athens vs sparta, set before the game called ORIGINS but somehow an asscreed game >now make jump to at least 8th century AD from 1st century BC >assassins already exist for years and somehow reach scandinavia >no games between origins and valhalla
Nathaniel Sullivan
As much as I like Last Kingdom it hurts me inside every time I see Uhtred with his fucking fantasy sword on his back taking on 30 vikings by himself with hollywood sword skills. The plot armour is unreal
inb4 asscreed protag can climb shield walls
Jeremiah Thomas
I wish ubisoft didnt fire the creator of ac because he wanted to end the series Fuck ubicucks and fuck the coonsumers playing around it's corpse.
I personally dislike Rome as a setting but I agree it's a bit of a weird timeskip
Jason Kelly
>black people bad REEEEEEE I can think of 50 ways of how your mother is getting raped by the bbc.
Alexander Collins
Trans representation and characters from POC backgrounds such as moors
Zachary Gutierrez
he's basically what you will be in the game. overpowered with fantasy gear and somehow working with different enemy factions without any problem... and all that for some stupid personal reason (muh clay, muh family etc..)
Sebastian Morgan
OMG, I luuuuuv Generic Sandbox Game® no.56398! it's soooo FUN!
I would honestly love game set in Gaul if they didn't shoehorn Cleopatra and Caesar into this game. It could be like reverse origin with Massilia and Narbo being major cities in the south and different tribal settlements and roman legion camps across the map
Colton Morris
It's very simple >instant kills for assassinations >actual antagonists instead of 50 nameless mooks >no dialogue choices >map that isn't fuckhuge with only 5 things to do >one character
Carter Sullivan
>this Origins i mean. Gaul being set right after Origins. And my boy Labienus being recruited by assassins in Gaul to spread the ideology to the optimates after he joins Pompey
John Perry
Actually I'd make an exception for Gaul, that would be cool. That would have even made a cool precursor to Unity if they'd been brave enough to go down the Antiquity route soon
Julian Wilson
Fuck u nord cucks Why did your ancestors have to be so cringe? Now we get a gay ass setting
Anthony Jones
Basically, not Odyssey
Hudson Ortiz
Probably an end game boss like they did with Sobek from Origins (?), hopefully the naval combat is better since its always my least favorite part of the most recent games
A competent studio would have planned an antiquity trilogy in Egypt, Greece, and Rome that was interconnected instead of an Egypt and Greece where the only connection is “Aya is Kassandra's descendant lol” and then fucking off to Denmark
Ethan Brown
>>protag is an ancestor of Otso Berg who will be relevant to the modern day story somehow What happened to the "it's edward kenway's ancestor" thing?
Angel Price
It's a broad appeal setting targeted at american who larp as vikangz if they have a 0.0005% droplet of scandi blood in them. Same with Peloponessian war, it's there because even the lowest of the low know spartans because >muh 300
Alexander Hall
>predictions >as much padding as Odyssey >Shield maiden / knock off Ragnar MC >Big focus on the Viking tv show with that modern viking haircut everywhere >Beserkers were actually just champion warriors that wore a bearskin >Raiding chapels and shit >Assassin storyline is as hilariously tacked on as Origins and Odyssey >Open world Ubisoft Sandbox game #14
>Hopes >It isn't Odyssey 2.0 >it plays closer to Unity >it isn't just a massive open world game that has 10 hours of meaningful content but takes 50 hours to complete the main story. >It isn't a viking wankfest and actually shows them as raiding poorfags
Yeah that crenellated stone castle made me cry inside
Eli Johnson
>Ubisoft shilling
Christ, just when you thought this board couldn't sink any lower.
Noah Rodriguez
I'm personally hoping for a map similar to pic related. Maybe with a bit more of Norway. Denmark is basically mandatory so can't really leave that shithole out, but I feel like Sweden can be left out since it doesn't really add anything that Britian doesn't already have. Norway I hope is in, because I want to climb the steap ass mountains. But otherwise I'm fine with whatever else. Don't know fuckall about the UK so they could add whatever, I don't care.
>wants rome I personally want pre-columbian Mesoamerica but Rome as a follow-up at least makes more sense than vikings.
Justin Morales
>complains about a pandering setting >wants Rome and Feudal Japan
Cooper Perry
Imagine gatekeeping historical eras, imagine using that as a way to try and act important.
Jason Howard
kys weeb noone likes your shitty coomer nip games
Eli Martinez
>it plays closer to Unity at least 4 player co-op is confirmed in some sort of way
Liam Stewart
Threadly reminder that the continuity of AssCreed has made literally no fucking sense since AssCreed 3. Assassin's Creed has no identity anymore. They could name this game "Vikings n' Shit" and it would probably make just as much sense.
Ayden Flores
Shame the trailers cgi bullshit that won't really show anything.
Blake Kelly
Guess they'll be going full fantasy this time around then because the real thing isn't cool enough
Christopher Bennett
It happens with every new ubishit game, they follow this to a T every fucking time.
