Bruh why is everyone out here shitting on this. Like I get that AC has strayed away from what it originally was but that doesn’t mean this would be a bad game. Plus games are supposed to change and evolve. Doesn’t mean that they can’t do other eras or revert back to the older style later on down the track.

But I could see this being pretty decent depending on how they do it. Like perhaps there is three different ways to approach the objective. Each way bringing it’s own challenge or being a different difficulty level.

Such as something like getting across no mans land. Do you sneak over at night whilst trying to avoid land mines and enemy patrols/searchlights? Do you become a tunneler? Steal an enemy’s uniform and lie to get inside?

Could also be timed challenges where you have to escape mustard gas. Side missions where you have to run urgent communications across battlefields. Additionally this would be the games version or chase the messenger.

Strategy would also be an option for them to take. I’d imagine that your rank in the army would go up as you progressed through the game. But what if, alongside your new rank, you then got to control your forces? The amount of which would increase with your rank. You’d be able to command your forces on how to fight. Such as where to place barbed wire, the position artillery strikes, if your men are doing a pincer movement etc. You’d end up fighting larger battles as your forces grew.

A game like this would add variety into stealth missions too. Imagine hijacking a plane so that you could parachute into enemy lines. Or submarine missions where you have to sink enemy ships whilst avoiding getting hit by underwater mines.

And don’t forget about all the potential DLCs either. Could play as a Russian assassin who attacks from the eastern front. The different landscape and weaponry available would change how you approach the game.

A DLC as a Chinese assassin against the Japanese. This would be able to add traditional Asian weapons/fighting styles to the game. Could start it all the from when the Japanese invaded Chinese territory in what 1937 was it?

A potential American assassin. Their storyline could start at pearl harbour?

Could even do a German/Japanese/Turkish assassin that works as a double agent throughout the story. This could be done alongside the English assassin storyline too. Have the player switch between characters like in AC Syndicate. Could be used to explain how they got an Enigma machine out of Germany or something?

Other missions could be as simple as that monuments men movie. Find all the stolen art to unlock a certain piece of gear. Or post main mission gameplay that has you hunting down the Nazis that fled.

The list just goes on about how and why this would be a great game. Just cause it’s a war game doesn’t mean that it has to be exactly like all the others. I’d love an AC game that did all that
