Potential Hexe spoilers here, this is interesting:

Looks as if they're leaning right back into the Desmond-era AC with this project. Despite the issues I keep hearing about I'm quite excited

Spoiler:

I don't want Ezio showing up in this game. Maybe a more reputable dev would be able to work him in in a way that feels natural, but this is just giving "well we haven't had a protagonist as popular as Ezio so let's just crowbar him in somehow". I'll be surprised if it's anything more substantial than lazy fan service

Currently playing through Unity. Played it years ago and just didn't gel with it at all, but I've been meaning to give it a second chance for some time now because the French Revolution is such an interest era for a game to take place in, and 19th century Paris just be an architectural marvel. And this game is absolutely jam-packed with NPCs, no wonder it didn't run on launch lmao.

I think Unity is great honestly. It felt like the design in it was very intentionally done to put the emphasis on assassinations for the first time since the og Assassin's Creed. Combat felt horrible but you're not meant to be getting into fights with a dozen guards at once, so it worked perfectly to encourage stealth and proper planning for each assassination. I also thought the implementation of the modern day story was done in a way that felt quite fresh for the franchise, and felt like it still sort of furthered stuff to do with Desmond's saga.

You tried the co-op at all? I've always sort of intended to go back to it one day and round up a group to give it a go.
