- Insider claims he’s talked to a developer behind the upcoming multiplayer Assassin’s Creed Invictus title.
- He says that none of the developers are confident about the project.
- The developer even went so far as to say he’s disgusted to work on it.
Announced on the series’ 15th anniversary, Assassin’s Creed Invictus is a spin-off multiplayer title that insiders describe as similar to Fall Guys.
Unfortunately, the game doesn’t have that much traction even within Ubisoft itself, as most developers aren’t pleased with the title’s direction. One even claims he’s disgusted by the project.
Why it matters: Assassin’s Creed is a single-player game series, and for it to depart towards a multiplayer direction is a poor choice, but even so, the direction aiming to replicate the Fall Guys theme wasn’t the best idea.
Insider xj0nathan claims he spoke with someone working on the game, and he had nothing but negative things to say about it. For starters, the developer thinks the game’s concept is flawed and that it will flop.
Moreover, he says that all employees working on the project share his sentiments and are even disgusted by it. According to the developer, only upper management is excited about the project, highlighting the dissonance within the publisher.
It’s awful ridiculous animations, hideous and cartoonish characters (their faces are just as awful), idiotic sound and visual effects, fighting arenas… the concept is simply appalling.
He thinks the game is designed for 6-year-olds because its graphics resemble Fortnite, and he also feels sorry for the parents who will have to spend money on the game’s microtransactions.
Just recently, we discovered that Assassin’s Creed Invictus lost its key developer, further complicating development. As such, it makes sense that there’s turmoil with this multiplayer project.
The IP now falls under Vantage Studios, the joint subsidiary made with Tencent, and even under external guidance, there seems to be no hope for this multiplayer project.
Last week, Ubisoft also cancelled 6 titles, including the Sands of Time remake, and apparently, Assassin’s Creed Invictus was marked safe from the purge despite its terrible condition.
Anyhow, Ubisoft truly believes in live-service and open-world games as the future, which is why a game like Assassin’s Creed Invictus is in development in the first place.
