This game promises to give players what they’ve been waiting for a long time, transporting them to Feudal Japan full of samurais and ninjas. This particular title will feature two protagonists that players can control and switch between them at any time.

A Reddit user proposed an idea for the general narrative of this new title, anticipating its release. This user submitted that they would like to see the Templars ultimately win, something similar to what happened in Rogue.

This recommendation is mainly because, in almost all the franchise’s titles, the Assassins always end up winning in one way or another, making the game and story quite predictable.

The user also commented that when players return to the present day, they will see how the Templars have been winning this war for years. Because of this, they would like to see a game where the Templars win at the end, making the conflict between these two factions almost eternal.

For years, Assassin’s Creed fans have been asking for the game’s story to focus more on the present.

Other players supported this particular user’s idea, expressing their desire to see a similar implementation in the franchise. This player continued with their idea, saying they would like to see how the Templars began building Abstergo years ago to achieve total world dominance.

Overall, the discussion continued, with many users agreeing with the post’s author, saying it would be very original for the studio to incorporate this into the story.

On November 15, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released. The fans of the saga are still quite skeptical about whether this game can truly offer something different from what the studio has been doing for years.

Another part of the community has high hopes for this game, believing it will be a turning point for the franchise that has been stuck for years.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
