The interview in question comes from 2017 when the now-defunct Assassin’s Creed Initiates program interviewed Désilets about some of his past work on the franchise. Désilets is asked about the “original” plan for the end of Assassin’s Creed’s story as it was first planned. Désilets refers to his “first spark,” which may or may not be the original plan but was at the very least Désilets’ first idea. Needless to say, it’s a shocking choice that unfortunately never came to fruition....

RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: 5 Reasons To Play As Alexios (& 5 To Choose Kassandra) Kassandra, being the canon hero, gets a lot of praise. It’s certainly well earned, as there is a lot to love about the character. But it does mean that her brother, Alexios, doesn’t always get the credit he deserves. Alexios is as amazing and fleshed-out as Kassandra, and the choice between characters mostly comes down to what you want from the game....

Ubisoft certainly thinks so as the company has begun to take orders for the Assassin’s Creed Origins - Dawn of the Creed Legendary Edition, a special collector’s edition that costs $800. For that incredibly high price fans will get: a 73cm numbered Bayek and Senu figuring in resin, an art book, a steelbook case, the official soundtrack, a physical world map, Bayek’s eagle skull amulet in resin, two original art cards, four lithographs signed by Ubisoft artists and a certificate of authenticity....

Many fans are split over the continued emphasis on the mythology in Assassin’s Creed games and less on the history, as the gameplay has become more generically open world and less stealth-based. Thus, it’ll be interesting to see how this DLC is received by Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s fans when it releases and how the marketing material is treated later on this month. However, a new leak has given fans a look at the core achievements, so as they are listed below, please keep in mind that these may contain SPOILERS....

The Viking-themed Assassin’s Creed game has reached the end of its development journey, with the official Twitter account for the series posting the news earlier this morning. After the development team shares how proud they are of the game, they conclude the post by saying that “we can’t wait to see how your own Viking journey unfolds.” A special image with text reading “Gold” is also included in the post, with dual axes that can be wielded throughout AC Valhalla’s gameplay incorporated as well....

Released in November 2020, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the 12th main entry to the popular series. Over the course of its 14-year lifespan, the franchise has changed its genre. This is the latest one to follow the studio’s RPG-centric approach. Following its debut, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla recorded the biggest launch of the franchise where it sold more units during the first week than any other Assassin’s Creed game before. By October 2021, the title emerged as Ubisoft’s second most profitable game....

Since Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s reveal, fans have been guessing at the release date and looking for clues. This has ranged from retail listings to the Leif Erikson Day, but the latest has the most backing. It comes straight from the horse’s mouth. Assassin’s Creed’s Italian Instagram posted a video that showed a little of the game but focused more on the game’s release date. Of course, this was quickly taken down but not before someone managed to capture it on their phone, and in promotion of the Xbox One, it showcased the aforementioned November release date....

Previously thought to be titled Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok, speculation over the game’s Viking Era setting has been going on for months now. Usually, an Assassin’s Creed game will take place in one country (and sometimes just one city) but as it turns out, the game world will be made up of two different areas in Europe: England and Norway.

On Monday, the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft is expected to deliberately crash into a 530-foot-wide asteroid called Dimorphos at a speed of nearly 15,000 miles per hour. The aim is to demonstrate that a spacecraft can deflect an object that could pose an impact threat to the Earth. Dimorphos is a moonlet of the larger asteroid Didymos, neither of which pose a threat to our planet. But DART is the world’s first full-scale mission to test technology for defending Earth against an asteroid or comet collision and will help scientists to prepare for potential future hazards....

Asteroid 2008 GO20 is due to make a close approach to Earth on Sunday July 25 at about 1:50 p.m. EDT. It is being tracked by NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). Scientists think the asteroid could measure up to 721 feet in diameter, though this figure is not certain. The space rock could also be as small as 218 feet in diameter. In comparison, the Washington Monument is 555 feet tall....

Once more, the Ghanaian made his presence felt in the Championship as he set up Scott Hogan for the 23rd minute opener in the New Year’s Day fixture. The Claret and Blue ultimately humiliated their visitors by a 5-0 scoreline. “It was a good way to start the New Year,” Bruce said, as reported by his club’s official website. “It was a funny old game because we didn’t have the best of starts to the match....

The study was halted following a “standard” review process, so safety data could be investigated, a spokesperson for the COVID-19 Vaccine Team at the Oxford Vaccine Centre told Newsweek in a statement. “This is a routine action which has to happen whenever there is a potentially unexplained illness in one of the studies, while it is investigated, ensuring we maintain the integrity of the trials,” the spokesperson said. In large trials involving many participants, illnesses can happen by chance “but must be independently reviewed,” according to the spokesperson....

Small Shuttle This is the first shuttle that is crafted by players using a Large Printer with two Aluminum, which means it is the lowest tier. While it is a lower tier, it is needed in order to progress and gain resources to craft the larger shuttles. There are two Tier-2 slots on this vehicle, and one slot is needed for either a Solid-Fuel Thruster or a Hydrazine Thruster (which are used to get off the planet)....

The game went on over the objections of the players who remained on the active roster. Such is life in Season 2 of pandemic baseball. “I’ll just say we felt that it would have been better if we weren’t out there today,” Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. told reporters after the game (per MLB.com). “I think it would have been the smartest thing today [to not play], but we were overruled....

In short, Assassin’s Creed characters have their lives explored in the franchise. For Ezio, AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations, and Embers brought him from his teens to the end of his life. Assassin’s Creed 3 saw Connor’s journey to the brotherhood and his resurrection of it. Other games, like Assassin’s Creed Unity, explore its main character in a vacuum but often with long-reaching influences. But in general, Ubisoft has left most deaths up in the air, but those with described deaths actually serve a common purpose....

The newest game, which will reportedly be known as Assassin’s Creed Mirage, has had a lot of information leaked over the past few months. Now, the latest details allegedly revealed for Assassin’s Creed Mirage appear to show off some cover art for the game and the pre-order bonus mission fans will receive should they commit cash to the title before it launches. Apparently shared first by ScriptLeaksR6 on Twitter, so far it hasn’t been verified whether these images are legitimate or not, but it has been mentioned online that they appeared on the Ubisoft store for a moment....

When Basim performs an assassination in Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s reveal trailer, he is seen in a dark realm filled with smoke and dust and a human-like figure climbing up out of the ground. Many theories suggested that this djinn, or jinni, is Basim’s way of understanding Loki’s consciousness creeping into his own. In fact, Basim has a history of visions like this, and he joins the Hidden Ones to learn the truth behind them....

Now that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s release date has been confirmed, fans are now probably considering pre-ordering the game and knowing about all the special editions that Ubisoft has in store for the upcoming game.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla promotes exploration for the most part, but there are times when certain things are locked behind story progression. Though it may seem like it at first, the Londinium Bureau is not locked behind progression and can be accessed at any time should the player know how.
