this is no assassins creed game there is no brother hood and no hidden blade no templars the brother hood was not formed till some 350 years later how can u call this AC, no to mention having to pick responses in conversations is the dumbest thing ever that is not what AC is about. as a loyal and long time fan ive been playing AC since AC1 came out and have loved every game i have the Assassin Symbol tattooed on my back, but this is extremely disappointing UBISOFT i hope you see this you need to scrap this and start over or at the very least change the name make it not an AC game

Assassin's Creed as a franchise is more than just the Brotherhood or hidden blades. It's also about a precursor race that hasn't really got much acknowledgement since 3. Included with that, are Pieces of Eden, which while are in most of the games, even as of the latest game, Origins, it's still not something that hasn't been touched on much in regards to anything other than an Apple.

That being said, the POE existed longer than any "creed" did, and since the Animus can relive anyone's memories that are not in your own genetic line, it's feasible to say that DNA would be found that is indicative of not belonging to any "order" that has some sort of name tagged on it.

The premise is still the same. Much like Darius, who chose to rise up against Xerxes, this is something that can tell a similar story without attaching a name to it.

In addition, this is apparently going to be focused more on Modern Day as well, continuing Layla's story.

So yes, it is still Assassin's Creed. It will still play as such. You just won't have a hidden blade unless they tie Darius to in the game somehow.

Again, Assassin's Creed is more than just hidden blades. It has a story that is rarely touched upon which is other Pieces of Eden, Modern Day and the Precursor Race.

I keep seeing people posting no hood. This is not the case, the option of a hood does exist. There also seems to be the conclusion being drawn that the hidden blade is gone. Again not entirely true. In origins the hidden blade Bayek uses is the blade used to kill Xerxes the good king. That blade was then turned into a hidden blade. I'm not sure if this is that same weapon or a similar idea but it will probably become a hidden blade by the end of the game.

What's killing me the most is that we are promised historical accuracy and player choice......and then they take shields out of the players arsenal......dafuq?!

The blade used to kill Xerxes was a hidden blade. Darius is the first in recorded history to assassinate him with it.

I agree with most everything else though.

Don't think they ever actually said it was a hidden blade. I'm actually kinda hoping that the spear of Leonidas is the weapon that Darius used in which case it's also bayeks hidden blade and that would be dope.
But seriously SHIELDS. How is the protagonist in Odyssey supposed to be a part of a phalanx or block arrows or take cover on the trireme!!!!! This so messing with me. A Spartan without a shield isn't a Spartan.

It is a hidden blade. It says so in AC2.

And on top of all that the gods of Greece and Rome are the surviving entities of the precurser race, which suggests the Greeks and Romans knew more about the mythos for Assassin's Creed than anyone. This is huge play for Ubisoft in advancing the lore of the game.

this is no assassins creed game there is no brother hood

Oh, you mean like Origins?

Seriously, am I going to have to listen to so-called fans who probably liked a pirate and medjay game whining and complaining about Odyssey not being a "real AC game" for the next 5 months? And can the mods merge such threads please so all this tantrum throwing doesn't take up the entire page?
