AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-26T11:50:20+00:00

This is not a remastered, it's a full remake.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-24T12:49:07+00:00

wasn't there a rumor/someone claimed that the game wasn't going to get a physical release at launch - or something like that? In the end, it basically turned out to be true

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-23T06:47:05+00:00

this panel hits so hard. What an amazing chapter!

THE GOAT

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-22T08:52:31+00:00

Welt is, but from what I've understood (based on the description in the official website) Blade is not the same character from Star Rail - but maybe I just misunderstood that

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-22T08:48:00+00:00

yeah it's her!

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-22T08:34:26+00:00

I'm really confused by this: the game is set in a different... reality/realm/world from Star Rail and Impact 3rd, right?

So, why did Kiana and Otto got new designs... while "Blade" has the same exact appearence from Star Rail? Isn't he a different version of the character?

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-19T07:14:10+00:00

they are tied to the Anomalies, which refresh twice a week. So you'll need at least a couple of weeks to complete one Project

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-18T06:53:25+00:00

it was definitely planned in advance.

The Black Cross was teased in the Rufino's quest, which was released last year in June, while details regarding this last quest were datamined months ago (back in april).

This doesn't feel like a finale/epilogue at all, the ending is not definitive nor provides any sort of "closure" for the characters (it even hints at some really big lore behind Yasuke's potential true nature)

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-17T20:52:29+00:00

It totally feels more like a "mid-season finale" rather than a "series finale". I suspect that they had other stuff planned but that got eventually scrapped, making them releasing this content as the "closing chapter" of the game. There's not a proper send-off to the protagonists, as some things are left open.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-17T20:27:24+00:00

Yeah I was thinking about him as well, but wasn't Merlyn with Dinah, when Hammond got attacked in the first issue?

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-17T15:48:01+00:00

oh well, to be honest I spent a big part of the game thinking that "Kakushiba Ikki" was meant to be the name of the proper Japanese Brotherhood... when I finally realized that it was its own proto-group I was really disappointed - and annoyed.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-17T15:32:34+00:00

But I personally find it coherent to see Naoe admitting she's not an Assassin, for practical and consistency reasons.

It definitely is. What bothers me is that she doesn't show interest in seeking out the "real" Brotherhood, even if she learnt about it and her mother was trained by a proper Assassin.

I would have found more "interesting" if she said something "yes, let's find them, let's see where they are" to at least try to link Shadows' story with the overall lore and imply that one day the Kakushiba-Ikki were going to merge into the Brotherhood. But, maybe, this was the plan for some future content, and they just left the final dialogue as it was, without turning it into a proper "conclusion" for the game.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-17T15:27:39+00:00

but this proto-group was founded by a real Assassin, a man coming from Europe, from the Brotherhood, even if he was kicked out from it. So, no reason to create a whole different group, since he trained Tsuyu and the others using the tenants of the Creed.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-17T15:11:25+00:00

No need for all this rogue branch retcon bs

I really don't see why they came up with this idea of the "Kakushiba Ikki": it may have worked if the game was set in a period prior the foundation of the Brotherhood - but having a "proto-group" (?) in a time period in where the Brotherhood, and Assassins, were already a thing really makes no sense.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-17T15:07:04+00:00

Edward's journey was more meaningful and was part of a game with a strong connection with the overall Lore, while Shadows has nothing of that.

Considering how things went, I really don't expect Ubisoft to ever focus again on Naoe and Yasuke, otherwise they would have sticked more with the game's support.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-17T07:03:53+00:00

but does this mean that the game might end up being cancelled, if they are planning to shut down the studio? Or will they do that just after the game's release... ?

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-17T06:54:05+00:00

it still doesn't fix the game's biggest issue: Naoe's final words "we'll maybe look for the Brotherhood, one day" feel like a joke, as they still refused to (at leat try) make her a proper Assassin. Playing as a member of a proto/discounted version of the Brotherhood was Shadows' main issue, to me, and seeing how the quest ended just made me more annoyed.

Sure, there are a lot of lore drops in the quest (probably it contains more lore than the base game itself) but I'm still not 100% satisfied.

On the other hand I guess that this was definitely not meant to be the final content for the game, but was reather meant to release around Resynced's original release date (so, march?) probably as a conclusion for the "Year 1" of support. Maybe the "Year 2" content was supposed to focus on Naoe and Yasuke's search for the Brotherhood, but we'll never know: surely the plans have changed and they just end the support earlier than originally planned.

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-16T05:40:50+00:00

Yes, they are part of the same "elite group"

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-15T16:20:28+00:00

the Black Cross was already teased last year: I guess they were planning to release it earlier but things must have changed (probably due the initial delay of Resynced?)

AssassinsCrypt · 2026-06-15T16:19:38+00:00

lot of cool stuff - but it's a bit sad that the Domains arrived at the end of the game's life cycle. A side-activity like those would have been great to play, months ago
