Kan du huske Assassin's Creed Invictus? Det er et kodenavn på et multiplayer-spil, der har været længe undervejs hos Ubisoft, og vi ved ikke meget mere end at der fortsat bliver arbejdet på det. Men noget tyder på at de forestillinger du selv har om et dedikeret live service Assassin's Creed multiplayer-spil, de passer ikke med virkeligheden.
Insider J0nathan, der tidligere har ramt plet med et utal af Ubisoft-specifikke insider-udtalelser, har snakket med folkene bag Invictus, og beskrivelse, samt den måde udviklerne selv har det med deres eget spil, er mildest talt foruroligende. Hans indlæg er, traditionen tro, på fransk, men er blevet oversat via Reddit:
"I told you about it a while ago: Invictus will be a kind of "Fall Guys" Assassin's Creed version, a somewhat "funny" game with Fortnite-like graphics and a series of challenges leading to the coveted Victory Royale. I told you the concept was terrible and that the game would probably flop. Well, someone from the development team contacted me to say that even they don't believe in it at all and they're all disgusted to be working on this garbage. Here's what they said: "I don't know a single colleague who likes Invictus. Only the managers will probably continue to smile and praise this project. It's awful: ridiculous animations, hideous and cartoonish characters (their faces are just as awful), idiotic sound and visual effects, fighting arenas... the concept is simply appalling. I wonder who this game is for and why it was created. Maybe it's only for children... six years old? I have no idea. If that's the case, I feel sorry for the parents of these children who are going to be harassed for money to fuel a new wave of microtransactions."
Det skal dog siges at trods J0nathans autencitet tidligere, så er det her umuligt at bekræfte, og det er svært at verificere om hvorvidt dette er holdets egentlige holdning til deres eget projekt.
Vi afventer med spænding en reel afsløring.
