It was previously releasing Feb 14. Does not look good for Ubisoft.
Assassin’s creed died with 2 when they fired the creator and decided to milk it as much as possible.
So sad what this series has become, considering its counter-culture influences.
Would have loved to see the original vision through
Me too.
Personally, I thought the series would’ve ended with getting to play as Desmond for most of the game, actually being an assassin in the modern day.
It could have gone anywhere, the rumour was modern day third to close out the story.
It could have gone to settlements in space, templar industry types creating advanced cities to escape a doomed earth allowing for a cryogenically frozen Desmond to believeably do some of the stunt in space conditions.
Instead they picked random times and shoehorned in a rethread story barely expanding on the lore by walking all over it.
Are delays not good? It’s preferable to being broken on launch, not to say that it couldn’t be, but it’s likely that it would be more broken if not delayed.
When a game gets delayed it’s not a good sign in general. It means “the game is broken and we can’t release it as it is”.
Of course a delayed game will be better than a game that needed to be delayed and released anyways instead, but realistically speaking you can’t fix a broken AAA sized game in one or two months.
Add this to the fact that Ubisoft (rightfully so) earned a bad reputation among players as time went on, and that devs can’t work at their best when they are crunching and they fear to be laid off, and you’ll understand why non-casual gamers don’t have faith in the game.
