Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a title that has already been the subject of conversation due to the controversy with one of its two protagonists, Yasuke. Moreover, gamers are complaining about the game’s pricing.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the last tile, was much more similar to older titles in the series. Thus, it also received acclaim from series veterans. However, Shadows seems to be returning to the franchise’s formula, which includes RPG elements and a massive playable map to facilitate the same.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Will be closer to a title like Origins than something like Mirage Assassin’s Creed Shadows has two protagonists; one can switch between them while they explore the map.

What we know about Gods and Monsters, including latest news, release date, price, and much more!
The Assassin's Creed Odyssey team is working on a new game called Gods and Monsters that is already being compared to a Greek mythology version of The Legend of Zelda.
“It’s flattering that we can be compared to that, but from a storytelling point of view it’s going to be a very unique adventure,” said Gods and Monsters creative direction Jonathan Dumont in an interview with Kotaku when they made that comparison. "The abilities will change, as well as the scope of how it blows up. It is influenced a lot more by Odyssey in that sense mechanically. The fact that we can choose and create our own character and customize it as well, there’s quite a bit that will make it its own.”

Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Jonathan Dumont admits, "It is clear that we missed the mark.”
This Assassin's Creed Odyssey article contains spoilers.
Jonathan Dumont, the creative director behind Ubisoft's hit game Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, has released an apology to fans after the game's latest Dlc chapter sparked controversy on the web. It was a chapter called Shadow Heritage, the second part of the Dlc trilogy Legacy of the First Blade, that caused this wave of negative reactions.

However, a moment in the Shadow Heritage add-on sees the player locked into having heterosexual relations. Regardless of what gender you chose at the start of the game, or the choices you made along the way, your character ends up having a child with one of Darius'...

“Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s” official unveiling occurred in the lead-up to E3, and we heard more about the stunning open-world game set in Ancient Greece during the big show. Now, Variety can offer a chance to check out the main theme music for the game.
The track is called “Legend of the Eagle Bearer,” and was composed by the composer and producer duo of Joe Henson and Alexis Smith, known as The Flight (“Horizon Zero Dawn,” Lana Del Rey).
“This is the hero’s theme; conveying their journey,” The Flight said in a statement to Variety. “Brought up as a proud Spartan, they are then left to find their own path. Using instruments that shared their DNA with those of Ancient Greece, we wanted to compose a dynamic, modern score infused with the essence of the time period.”
