Ubisoft needs Assassin's Creed, but Assassin's Creed needs to end.

, I should have been pretty chuffed. I've been climbing historical landmarks and stabbing historical figures for 15 years and was still enthusiastic enough to put around 150 hours into both Odyssey and Valhalla. It's a series I like a great deal. But instead I found the news, and the prospect of many more Assassin's Creeds, exhausting.

Despite this repetition, the story grows harder to untangle with each new game. It's incredibly messy, but the real issue is that the modern day stuff simply isn't very good, and Ubisoft definitely seems to realise we just want to travel back in time and have a holiday in Ptolemaic Egypt or England during the Viking Age. Thus, the overarching plot gets pushed to the peripheries, being given a couple of hours of attention compared to the hundreds spent with long-dead Assassins.

All these announcements are quite telling: Ubisoft is heavily investing in Assassin's Creed because it's not having much luck elsewhere. Beyond Good & Evil 2 seems destined to be vapourware forever, Hyper Scape was shut down after less than two years, most people probably don't know Roller Champions even exists, and while Skull and Bones is finally launching in November, it doesn't look like it will make much of a splash.

Have guys see the evolution of the assassin's creed Click here and see👉👉

Or you could just not play them?

False 🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢

nah

Nope

Naaaah !!! But I need to tell you can just shhhhhhh ! Because we want to shut you !

No ending

Totally agree with this, I'm a fan of the series but the games are not what they used to be and it's hard to bring new players when a core aspect of the series is the ongoing present day story, and removing it would make the games be less.

No.

Problem with Assasin is that is not assasin/stealth any more,we dont have modern story that give us more mysterious look and deep. And we on killing spree in open word with magic powers/monsters. Instead of misery imagined vision of history...

No

Red Dead Redempüon 2 - Part 1 (Intro) Gameplay Walkthrough is just uploaded, I hope u guys will enjoy it and if u do don't forget to share, also hope that u guys will support me till the end. And thank you for keep supporting me till now. Here's the link,

If the games are redone better then the shitty rpg style they are now the games should be good for wt least another 2 decades, i dont want assassins creed gone without a modern day game or even a near future game

Nah . The writer of the article needs to end .

What a stupid ass take.....

As long as we have history Ubisoft will give us an assassins creed game, so it will never end

No AC does not need an ending. We need an AC battle royale or something innovative before it ends. Let it end in style not the ending of your ending.

Without Assassin’s Creed they are nothing, no hate on far cry.

RPG in Assassin's Creed needs to get an end.

It will never end

Yeah they should definitely end one of the few franchises that keeps the company relevant 💀🤡

don't understand why if Valhalla was the most successful one

What? There’s different protagonists separated by centuries, each with their own story…. It doesn’t need a global end, just self contained stories.

If your tired of AC stop playing. No need to whine about it.

Sounds like Templar propaganda to me

It's a game not a TV series

Dumbest fucking take. Assassin's Creed has limitless potential. Its modern day story needs to end, sure. However the franchise doesn't.

No

Very true they have dragged it on and in my opinion it’s not the same anymore but they need the money AC makes

They need to do rayman games instead.

No it doesn’t. If it creates revenue then there will be more games. Should Grand Theft Auto stop or Call of Duty games?

Ubisoft needs to end.

I liked Assassin's Creed for what it was back then. But, now I like it much more. All games evolve in some way from Zelda to God of War to WoW. I remember when people complained that Assassin's Creed is the same game year after year. Now, it's changed. People are still unhappy.

They just have to return to the basic AC and load off the RPG crap.

Very true, like most game series, ran out of fresh ideas a long time ago and needs to end.

I hope not they're one of my favorite sp games to play every release

Yeah, somewhere around Black Flag

Have you seen the sales for the AC franchise ? How can it end.

Just make Prince of Persia dammit or start some completely different sandbox

There are a limitless number of time periods to explore. It doesn't need to end. It does need more focus, though.

AC have big potential that other games dont - Setting and Historical Theme as Player's Playground. Both are the selling pont of the franchise. Same with R* games. No one game company to end the momentum.

Nope. If they will be making AC games once in a few years, with good gameplay and storytelling they don't need to end this series. Will you say the same about Rockstar and GTA? I don't think so. Only thing that needs to end is releasing Fifa year by year o.O

one last time then? one last mirage !

They should just go the FromSoft route and use a similar gameplay and mechanics base but a new I.P.

Actually Ubisoft has said a few years ago that there is an actual ending already.

Nah

I know that this is a complicated concept to articulate but, if you don't like a game, don't play it. Or do I get to demand the end of Call of Duty because I'm sick of seeing an infinite number of sequels on proverbial and/or literal shelves?

Still enjoying and replaying the games, and looking forward to Mirage

wrong, assasins creed just need to go back being assasins creed

Nope.

Why do they should end? Will Resident Evil games ending anytime soon? And the Animus storyline in AC is spreading till the present day. So there are so many storylines and locations that are worth visiting in this series.

Writers need PC Gamer to get paid, but PC Gamer needs to end

I've never seen it take so cringe

People on twitter really think they can dictate when a game can start, for how long & when it should end. They obviously don't speak for everyone so the only thing that needs to end is their involvement in it & then just move on because they will release more AC games despite all

PC gamer are templars, this confirms it

It's a very educational game when it comes to history, architecture, culture, people and a whole range of other great things. I have learnt a lot that I can use in the real world. I would not want to see it end anytime soon

Nah I'm fine with it, thanks.

Ha yeahhhhhhh how about no?

Alternatively, the author could just stop playing the games. Instead of writing useless 'I'm tired of these games, so nobody should get any more of them' clickbait articles.

I'm kind of excited for the new Netflix series, hopefully it doesn't end up being a dumpster fire like the movie was

If they continue the bullshit RPG trash then yes but if they can go back to their franchise roots and give us a game where you actually feel like an assassin and continues the lore then no

Excuse me? They need to fix it, not end it.

Wtf is this drivel?

But what about AC: middle Earth

same with cod right?

Hard disagree. They can have satisfying arcs that resolve while starting new arcs. The problem is their arcs get started and don't resolve well. That's the real problem. It's like one shitty arc that just changes characters every episode or two. Argh. I love AC though. lol

If they can’t afford to end it, that means they need it cause the fans are still buying the games so much so that they can’t give it up, so why on earth should it end

Assassin's creed literally helped me remember the layout of Italy bro. These games are too fun to stop

L TAKE one of the best game franchises out there

Big L

Lol no.

Give the IP to someone else and Ubisoft can end.

True but ubisoft also needs to stop adding rpg games to the ac franchise and turn them into separate games

kys

Indeed

SHUT UP this non sense!

Big L take

Disagree. Just needs refreshed

Bro after that assassins creed unity ending it deserved to end

They dont 'have' to keep the franchise going.The fact that the core essence of the series is long gone and they keep pushing out shit is a testament to how broken our society is.Fuck substance,we will make millions!Why do you think we haven't had many truly great games lately?

I think the series should have ended with 3

While I think the many players who like RPG Assassin's Creed have a poor sense of taste, you have to respect their love for the game. AC: Mirage shows that we can have both the version that appeals to these fans and a version that appeals to a more discerning audience.

IMHO, when Activision Blizzard dumps Call of Duty and EA gets rid of FIFA games, then Ubisoft can finally end Assassin's Creed.

Assassin creed needs ending lol never..

Nope

meby true the animus you can switch between all the assassins greed games you own ..en play in all the time lines .. that will be the most amazing game ever

History is assassin creed's playground , thousand stories tell from history, assassin creed is ubisoft's money maker

wrong .. the animus need a upgrade so that we can do the old style fighting like in the older games .. exploring finding hidden objects and having fun with the game old style .. not 10 buttons for 1 special move .. but jump and slice with the hidden blade ..yes i'm a big fan

I was twelve or thirteen I think when I played the first assassin's creed. Loved it. Dan through all the other games and loved them too. Was so hyped for origins played and it. It was a game? Sure it wasn't terrible but as a assassin's creed game? Then the worse stuff came...

NOOOO

So many people disagree but Christ I'm not one of them. It's the same damn game every year and yet I can't get more Rayman even though Rayman legends came out almost a full decade ago.

Sorry but whoever wrote this clearly does not understand what’s going on here. If assassins creed needed to end, it would be obvious, but each game tells a new story, and their part in the larger picture, there needs to be no end because each game is an End of a story for someone

L take.

Says who? I want more...

Honestly it should end Assassin’s creed stopped being good after Origins

Part of me agrees, part of me strongly disagrees. They just need to go back to what made it successful in first place: PARKOUR and THE 'ASSASSINS' CREED

It will never end it continues on modern times and further, Desmond Miles is an assassin as many people will be after him

Meanwhile here I sit replaying black list on hopes that they don’t screw up the remake or whatever they are doing for the Splintercell franchise

Here's a wild take. Don't play it then. This is just like marvel fanboys bitching about how there are too many movies but every time one comes out they go see it. Just like this if they're making more that means obviously there are people who enjoy it.

Anyone ever hear of Tetris? How about Donkey Kong/Mario? Maybe Mickey Mouse? A franchise can and should go on as long as it's worth having around, and AC will be worth having around for decades. videogames AssassinsCreedMirage Ubisoft

If there's a way to end the series, sure. Make it satisfying so the player feels like they've accomplished something. But there's so many stories to tell. It doesn't NEED to end

Such a bad take. Let's face it, the person writing this just hates AC.

Just make spin-offs. Base it on the ISU for all that matter and end with that running and jump through window fractured video thing

Disagree

Let them do it til it gets old.

L

NOT BEFORE they complete BLACK FLAG 2

Not interested in this opinion piece. AC will never end 😄😃😃😃

This guy will buy COD every year tho

Nah. If you don't like them, don't play them. Problem solved.

No it doesnt. If anything, just cut the animus stuff out & just make period piece games about the war with the Templars. There are enough cultures to make plenty of games about & they can even do future/modern ones that take place during the time frame of Abstergo.

Infinity&Invictus 'Nuff Said. Lore galore ftw

AC was doomed to mediocrity when it hamstrung itself with the whole futuristic thing. It should've always been just a period piece without all the sci fi mumbo jumbo.

Objection!

Nahhh.

Nah. I find it interesting that nobody writes articles like this about Call of Duty. If ever a franchise needs to end 😂

I disagree 🤷🏻‍♂️

Shit take. Stick to what your best at and try to stay on topic “PC Gamer”

If your exhausted of it, then stop playing; but it doesn't 'need to end' because of that.

Ubisoft needs to listen to what the fans want.

Yes it does, time for something new

Nah, Assassin's Creed needs a reboot.

I don’t want an end to assassins creed. I want better assassins creed games with longer breaks in between.

Should’ve ended it with the Juno story, but instead they ended it in a graphic novel outside the games.

Assassin's Creed ended at III (5 games total). Then it was mercilessly dragged on for another 10+ games afterwards. They were fun games though.

Correct.

Why cos you say so....I love this franchise and always will...talk about being out of touch

It’s okay to be wrong. All Assassin’s Creed needs is to have a creed of Assassins in the game

I think if the core gameplay of mirage is like the original AC games then it would be a better end to the series. There are way too much huge open world RPG games and Assassin's Creed didn't need to go in that direction. AC Mirage should be the send off.

Click bait bollocks

Not it doesn't need to end.

Nah this is a poor take

Amusingly they could also just write an ending. Something that shows how it all ends and one company and org or another survives and wins. And still do a 1000 more games. Both of these groups are massive conspiracies, and all of these games are just another front in the War.

PC Gamer needs clickbait, but clickbait needs to end.

most of Ubi game IPs are not as stable income as AC series kinda makes sense but I can think of another couple of their game IPs that they will survive on w/ less money ofc. Still tho I dont think AC should end I think Ubisoft should stop milking Micro in Single player AC games.

They gave up on the over arcing story of AC after AC3.

Screw you. AC doesn't need to end.

No it doesnt

Wow, you're just now realizing this?

No, it should get back to what it was good at. Origins aside, expanding the worlds and dropping the 'Assassin' bit of the games didn't do it any favours. Condense the worlds and get back to Assassin v Templar again... that was good times.

They should put it in a current setting.

Maybe your channel and twitter account needs to end.

I kinda agree on that, but then again every game starts with history is our playground as long as they follow the creed from first couple of games they can basically run this games endless, it's just a matter of quality and not to have too much of it.

Need to end with all ISU tech being completely rid from the world, with Basim/Loki'snand Altlethia's help.

Bad take

Dude that wrote this needs to be fired for bad takes 😂

Pretty based take ngl

Pretty based take ngl

Yeah I used to be a massive assassin's creed fan but it does really need an ending. And it was meant to have an end as well

Nah

No

Loved the new AC games, but its true, the saga needs to rest and ubi needs to put more interest in forgoten IP or just make new ones. And of course becuase is ubi no matter what they do, they are the evil and ppl will hate because reasons xd

Assassin's Creed's story is literally about a neverending war

It had an ending with ac3 and then...it simply kept meandering

It should have ended at 3, I didn’t like the ending too much but at least it ended the main arc, it was obvious after 4 that it’s just about milking the franchise and not really caring about the story.

No, don’t agree. The newer ACs I enjoyed a whole lot more than the previous

Awful take

Why ? I learned many thing from assassin’s creed games history language culture

.....

They should make a new one called 'Templar's Creed'

AC franchise:

This take will upset a lot of consooomers, but it's true. The Assassin's Creed label should be retired, let Ubisoft make those same modern games in a different name, that way they at least don't HAVE to tie into the main series, and can do away with features that are there

I'm playing Origins for the first time, and if this RPG thing is what they've been and will keep doing, the franchise may as well die. I lost interest on the Japan AC as soon as they said it's another RPG

Doesn't need to end, just doesn't need to be a bloated game topped off with mtx.

What about COD?

it should end with Ezio ... i like some others too but after Ezio it is just milking money from it what i can understant ...

No

Played the first Assassins Creed 30 minutes years ago. I will never get those 30 minutes back.

Ubisoft needs a kick in the ass is what it needs

Fale por você, querido.

L TAKE

All i can say is that Desmond didn't deserve Assassin's Creed III

RPGcreed definitely needs to be offloaded to a different franchise label

L take

Wrong.
