Insider: Ubisoft employees are sick of Assassin's Creed Invictus — they don't understand why this game is needed
Ubisoft has not yet introduced a new Assassin's Creed game with the subtitle Invictus, but it is already clear that most gamers will not accept it. Insiders previously reported that Ubisoft's brilliant managers and marketers decided it was necessary to create a service project, and they chose Fall Guys as a role model — an arcade, cartoonish, colorful, and highly casual game.
We have nothing against Fall Guys, but, to put it mildly, this is not the direction of Assassin's Creed's development that fans would like to see, and apparently, this opinion is shared by the developers of Assassin's Creed Invictus themselves.
What is known
The French insider xj0nathan, who has repeatedly proven to know much about Ubisoft's internal affairs, said that a developer of Assassin's Creed Invictus contacted him and reported that none of his colleagues like this game. Game designers, scriptwriters, artists, and other technical and creative specialists do not believe that such a game has any chance of success, and only the "effective managers" who have already ruined more than one game of the French publisher and driven it into a catastrophic situation praise the project to management.
I don't know a single colleague who likes Assassin's Creed Invictus. Only managers continue to smile and praise the project. Everything is wrong here - from the visual style to the gameplay idea. Everything looks terrible - absurd animations, ugly cartoon characters (faces are just a nightmare), idiotic sound and visual effects, battle arenas... the very concept is simply depressing.
The problems lie even in the most fundamental aspects of the game — it's unclear who it is targeted at!
I absolutely don't understand who this game is being made for and why it was conceived. Maybe it's only aimed at children... six-year-olds? I have no idea. If so, I feel sorry for their parents - they will have to constantly pay for a new wave of microtransactions.
xj0nathan noted that in terms of visual style, Invictus "resembles Fortnite, but less cartoonish — something between realism and cel-shading."
Reasonable questions arise: how did Assassin's Creed Invictus survive the "big purge" at Ubisoft and why should gamers like it if none of the developers can say anything good about it.
This is how Assassin's Creed Invictus might look if Ubisoft does not change its mind:
