Game reveal 12 May 2015 - Be sure to check back!

LOL - already two AssCreed games behind (Rogue and Unity) so will look at getting this about the time 2016 AssCreed's game gets released

I am hoping that Rogue gets a nextgen release, from all reports that was the superior of the two.

@ Magius - I'm 100% certain it will !bm I'm playing the PS3 version at the moment and enjoying it quite a bit (almost as much as Black flag) but for me, I must say I enjoyed Assassin's creed Unity more as it was more a traditional AC title and really looked next gen in comparison

From what we can see of the trailer...
-The eagle-headed cane sword on the right hand (=right handed sword fighter and left handed blade user like all AC games). Also the cane sword being concealed means they're (devs) targeting on social stealth (along with the disguise stuff from leak back in January)

-Samuel Fey (Let's just call him that for now...) wields A SINGLE HIDDEN BLADE like Arno or Altair on the left hand.

-On the left wrist you can see that... thing (shoots poison darts?).

-Fighting will also include the use of fists (Metal plates over finger bones on the left hand and brass knuckles on the right hand) Also proves that the assassin doesn't rely too much on brute force (I could be wrong).

-Also there are metal strips on the SIDE of the left hand. Meaning: You'll block incoming attacks with the left hand and fight with the right hand sword and most probably use the hidden blade with the sword during fighting) (For some strange reason these remind me of Batman Arkham games....)

-The official assassin insignia is slightly different from the previous 'victory insignia'.

-Graphics: Notice how realistically the water drips down the hidden blade and also from the eagle beak-tip of the cane? Also the reflections and the close up details look really better than Unity already (Hoping all of that's in-game).

My thoughts, pretty but more of the same. The grappling hook/zip line is interesting, the carriages not so much and the gang warfare is basically the Borgia Towers from AC2 updated. The "new" Stealth mode seems a strange mechanic, not sure if it replaces blend etc.

The one thing missing is how you switch between Evie and Jacob between missions or even if that is possible in mission.

Right now I see nothing to get me insanely excited.

Looks interesting.
Reminds me of Gangs of New York, except in London.
The grappling hook should make getting around more easier.

I really want them to move from Western settings and start exploring further back in history again. AC had a really nice period to explore and I would really love to see them go back to the middle ages and earlier. A game set in India, China or Japan would be great, but what about ones set even further back in the middle east? Mesopotamia, Egypt (yes mentioned before) and other early cultures were massive and had pretty densely populated cities, surely they can explore these?

@ Magius - Agreed - and if yo have played the recent games, there are so many hints that the plan to use those settings, even an assassin in ancient Egypt is mentioned many times. I think at present they are going for more mass appeal settings which may actually be leading to the series decline.

Regardless I'm a fan will play every new AC title

I found a set of comics a while back and I think they are European and they were set in Rome and other unused settings. AC: Chronicles China is very good and the protaganist pretty interesing, just too bad they can't give us more because of the game style. I know the next two in that series are set in Russia and India and that's cool, but why can't they use that creativity for the main game?

I really think that the pressure to do annual releases is forcing less giant leap innovation and the studios are playing safe with staying in easily researchable and accesable time periods and regions.

and

meh...

I like the first one, but cutting back on CE & figures. So gana pass on it, getting the game pre owned any way, like the last one.

Eh all the Ubi CEs are starting to look the same, definitely think I will skip this one.

Also like how the one CE that includes the Season Pass is exclusive to their online store...

WHAT ABOUT THE Assassins Creed Syndicate Charing Cross Edition
WILL IT BE UP FOR PRE ORDER AT AWX

It has just gone live - please pre-order now

Stocks are EXCEPTIONALLY LIMITED!

I like the look of the Rooks edition - sucker for maps.

I wonder if I should skip Unity and go straight for this - it's tickled my fancy (plus I don't have the sour taste in my mouth that some seem to have from Unity).
