(Rumor) Assassin's Creed: Ragnarok

[Lovestorm]

There was a supposed leak of info about this game from 4chan that was picked up by various game sites.

- Title of the next game is Ragnarok, codenamed Kingdom

- Will launch on Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X

- Officially announced in february at the upcoming playstation event, release date September 29th, 2020.

- Up to 4 player drop in drop out co-op like Ghost Recon wildlands.

- Player can only play as a single character, Jora, who can be chosen to be male or female.

- Jora led a small band of 4 during their adventures which is why other players can drop in and out for co-op.

- Continues heavy RPG mechanics now including different classes and mild skill tree changes based on class. Player class can be changed by a specific character.

- Combat is upgraded with more weapon types and special abilities for every weapon grouping.- Each weapon can have runes added, be upgraded, and durability increased.

- Weapon durability does now come into play, forcing players to use their weapon pool more effectively and forced to manage a smaller inventory that can be upgraded

- Replacing adrenaline is a berserker mode which also activates special runes like fire, frost, or lightning damage.

- Sailing returns is less combat intensive and more focused on exploration and travel including being able to navigate tight rivers and wetlands

- Parkour is upgraded with tree climbing and new animations

- The hidden blade is back and is far more customizable in terms of cosmetics. Can be upgraded to kill in one stab

- Stealth is upgraded by having physical stealth skills such as hiding in mud, snow, crouching in bushes, hiding in bales of hay, etc.- Players can now also hide in crowds of civilians if their outfit/ armor is appropriate otherwise it can attract attention.

- Players now have a reputation system based on quests completed for people in cities, the town officials, clothing worn, crimes committed, etc. Some quests and story missions can only be completed after reaching a certain reputation with kingdoms.

- Conquest battles return to help capture some settlements from templars and players can approach them in a variety of ways.

- Players can also find battles between warring kingdoms occurring dynamically throughout the world.

- Multiple settlements throughout the world can be captured and controlled for trade and currency gains

- Players can organize large scale raids of forts and cities with nearby viking camps, wait for their own raids, or go in by themselves.

- The assassins are believed to have a connection to Odin and dub their raven drone as odin sight

.- Difficulty returns but focuses more on parry times, player health, and enemy reaction times rather than enemy health

- Levelling is overhauled to allow players to improve skillsets to gain experience, like in Skyrim. As a result, level locking regions and content is gone.

- Some skills are unlocked by reaching a high enough skillset level, some must be bought with skill points, and others are unlocked through game/ story progression.

- The map is massive. Like all of northern europe. My source mentioned big cities being York, London, Paris, and kiev. Every kingdom was meant to be really unique.

When are they going to give us an imperial China or feudalistic japan setting that people have been wanting for like 7+ years?

AJS had a good point to why. Sekiro was the most recent popular game of similar genre that had a samurai theme.

AJS? Who/what’s that?

Anyway, are you saying East Asian theme is too saturated right now?

Agree, I want ninjas and samurai, and they could even time it to when Europeans and the Vatican start making contact with Japan.....

Aside from Black Flag which AC game is worth playing? I tried the Eypt one and didn't care for it.

Aside from Black Flag which AC game is worth playing. I tried the Eypt one and didn't care for it.

I got bored with every AC game since Blackflag too. AC Odyssey is a lot of fun though. It improves on the direction Origins (Egypt one) took in every way. It's far more of an RPG, with a decent story. They brought a light nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor for their GTA-like wanted system. It's not as fleshed out, but it makes getting in trouble more fun.

The world and locations are stunning, and there are some solid mythological bosses. The Atlantis expansion is worth every penny too.

I still don't like their leveling system, but it's better than Origin's was, and the combat is more satisfying. The Sparta kick never gets old


It sounds like they're improving everything even more in the Ragnarok leaks, can't wait for this.

ftfy.

I'm completely meh on this shit, especially if they're going to make yet another game that has nothing to do with the modern day AC story, takes 90 hours to beat, and locks it's real ending behind dlc.

I actually quite liked Odyssey (didn't play Origins) but it left a serious bad taste in my mouth when I "beat" the main story only to find out I'd need to shell out for the season pass to actually get the Atlantis storyline. They cockteased the stuff throughout the main game, essentially giving you the first act as if it was integral to the game and boom, over.

ill pass, these games are boring and tend to be over hyped

I actually haven’t played since about 2013. I loved the Ezio games, but I made it about 2/3rds of the way through AC3 before dropping out. Haven’t picked up the series since despite picking up most of it from bargain bins over the years. Like I literally have the disks for AC4, Rogue, Unity, Syndicate and Origins but haven’t touched any of them. One day I plan to simply beat 3 and move on to the rest.

What's the story setting? Viking shit?

 

[HelpYouFall]

Although I kind of enjoyed both Origins and Odyssey I mostly wonder if they will update this janky, shitty version of Souls combat finally.

The leaks might be fake.

If you liked Black Flag, you should like Rogue. It's the same setting but you play as a Templar. Syndicate is pretty good too, the twins are badass.

I liked every AC until they started with that half assed RPG/Souls style, so I'm a little biased.

It's insane they still haven't done this. I wont lie though the Sparta and Viking settings are also something I wanted but not as much as Samuai\Ninja shit.
