Multiple accusations were leveled at executives and employees at Ubisoft, many of them very serious. This resulted in many of the accused stepping down or being fired, and an apology video from Ubisoft.

It was the diminished role of women in the series that has led to groups like the Assassin’s Creed Sisterhood and their first podcast....

Narratively, the introduction of the rope launcher makes sense. London is the most bustling and advanced city that Ubisoft has ever featured in an Assassin’s Creed game, and with that comes wider streets and taller buildings. But rather than have players struggle to get between, or ascend, those buildings, Ubisoft has introduced the rope launcher to be the ultimate solution. With the rope launcher equipped, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate players can quickly zip up buildings and create their own pathways between them at the push of a button....

Basim is a character that another new face in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Sigurd Styrbjonson, meets in Constantinople.

In previous Assassin’s Creed games, Ubisoft has placed Easter eggs for players to discover, and these references range from games within Ubisoft’s umbrella or from other franchises such as The Lord of the Rings and The Legend of Zelda, to name a few.
