Assassin’s Creed Valhalla / Watch Dogs: Legion
Perhaps I’m just a massive pessimist… okay I am a massive pessimist, but something about Ubisoft releasing two of its major AAA releases within just a few weeks of one another just doesn’t feel quite right.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will finally see the series head to a Nordic setting. One that fans have been clamoring for, for a good few years now.
On the other hand, Watch Dogs: Legion reminds us all of the dark and depressing future the UK has following Brexit. We’d say we’re joking, but given the current climate, it feels like more of a morbid foreshadowing.
Ok… maybe the real-life timeline won’t see grannies mobilized into anarchy… but never say never!
While we couldn’t say for sure exactly which of Ubisoft’s two AAA titles due to release in the Fall will take the bullet, one of them just seems bound to be pushed into 2021.
If we had to pick one, we’d probably go with Watch Dogs: Legion, due to its hefty mechanic which allows players to recruit any random NPC into their army.
Given it’s such a novel and unique mechanic not yet seen in games, we imagine this could give the team at Ubisoft more trouble than anticipated. Especially when compared to the rather ‘safe’ AC Valhalla, which looks very similar to AC Origins/ Odyssey with a fresh coat of Nordic paint.
