They have a tough task following up on Ghost of Tsushima. You know people are going to compare the two.

The mongol invasion happened around 1274 whilst some historians believe the ninjas appeared around the 15th century, so I think they will be fine for the people that can tell the difference.

I liked Ghost of Tsushima (I admit that I did not finish it but played around 50 hours of it), but I don't think AC has a challenging task there... Ghost of Tsushima is more an artistic game and is definitely a gorgeous game but in terms of gameplay (and even stuff you can do); compared to something like Assassin's Creed Odyssey; it is behind.

I have no doubts based on Valhalla (and yes the gameplay was not as good as Odyssey) that it will be beautiful :) And in terms of gameplay, Assassin's Creed is already ahead imo.

Really? As someone who has played both I have to say GoT is far superior in every way especially the combat system which is a lot deeper than AC.

I'm confused. Is this the Mirage game? Are there like a lot of Assassin's Creed games coming out at the same time or something?

There's literally an artical about Mirage coming out next year. Codename Red is clearly in early development. What's so hard to understand?

Well, I don't actually care about Assassin's Creed, the game wore out it's welcome YEARS ago, but I noticed on VGChartz wall that there are a lot more Ass Creed articles than this one and Mirage. Anyways, excuse me for not keeping up with the Ass Creed games lmfaoooo

All you needed to do was read the titles of the 2 articles to understand the difference

They're all average games, nothing worth getting excited over. That's all you need to know. It all went down hill after jade Raymond stopped contributing
