Assassin’s Creed, do we really need five more chapters?

Although it seems like yesterday, it’s actually been a good 15 years since the first Assassin’s Creed made its debut. Ubisoft’s title was immediately a great success due to some revolutionary mechanics, such as the movement in style parkour, which allowed you to move with a fluidity never seen before in a video game. This mechanic in fact was then a source of inspiration for many other video games, as well as the structure of its open world, which became somewhat the standard model for many future titles, so much so that some still use it today.

To celebrate 15 years of the saga, Ubisoft has decided to dedicate an event to her and talk about her future, announcing five new projects as well as a Netflix series in the works. A real feast of titles for passionate fans of the series, but we’re sure that the future return on an annual basis (if not even more) of the most famous assassins in the gaming world is it really good?

From the return to the past to feudal Japan

The event recently held by Ubisoft has shed light on the new titles related to the saga of Assassin’s Creedjust starting to talk about the last chapter, Assassin’s Creed Valhallawhich by the end of 2022 will see a free update which will conclude the story of Eivor, the or the protagonist of the title, with one last mission. The game, released in 2020, has seen numerous updates over the years, taking possible hours of play to an incalculable level.

One of criticisms the most common moves in this chapter (and also in the previous ones) is, however, precisely dilute the main contents too much, with rather forgettable secondary activities that push the hour counter to far exceed one hundred, if you decide to do everything possible. Added to this is the fact that sometimes it is the game itself that forces you to undertake these activities to reach the level necessary to continue with the main plot. It is therefore a little turn up the nose that those who played at the launch Valhalla you find yourself two years later having to take it back to see the real ending.
