Character Creator

One day Ubi should make an AC game with a CC. You can still have the same narrative experience as a set character, its just re-skinning that set character to what you want.
Its a feature ive wanted since Blackflag and figured now is a good time to discuss it.

What are your guy's thoughts?

It will never happen unless they completely change the formula because the game has a narrative writing.

In AC: Valhalla, what would change if Ivor looked different? You can swap from being a man to a woman with no consequence other than people referring to you as a she sometimes... actually, is that even true? I thought everyone just called you Ivor regardless.

My point is that by letting you create your own character, nothing changes. If I put on a Ubi-Shop skin and look like a demon with flaming armour and an otherworldly skull mask no one says anything. Why not let me change what my physical character looks like?

Hexe's already in development. Your fanfic is kaput.

If... and i mean IF ubisoft still exists in any capacity after AC:S launches, an AC game with a CC is not a maybe but something inevitable. Likely the next one will have it simply because a CC is the best way to make everyone more or less happy in regards to what the character looks like.

Though lets be real, we ain't gonna see an AC game for at least 3 years even if this game sold 10+ million copies in the first month. However since that ain't happening due to this game having nothing but controversy after controversy, and because ubisoft is literally broke. I wouldn't keep you hopes up at all lol.

Well said xD
I sorta figured this was their last game with all the years of ultra expensive flops and general mismanagement.
A guy can dream though... Its crazy that these company's are allergic to making money. People have been asking for years to do a Blackflag remake, maybe add some QOL features, but Ubi just refused to give the people what they want. Instead we got some weird sudo-arena shooter with ships, set on the other side of the planet and a AAAA price tag.
A Blackflag remake would of sold 10+ million copies, easy. If they added in multiple selectable ships, co-op/multi and a CC it would of sold 20+ mill the first month. Thats just base game, not to mention all the macro-transaction cash shop bs they stack into these games.


Idk, maybe AC:S will be a giga-success and save the company. We live in interesting times lol

I've thought this myself given how the games narratives tend to go they seem custom made for it.
If you as the player are playing a character within a character within a character or jumping around between multiple ones in time or however "you" want to interoperate "mindjacking others" the first one is always the blankest slate till the endgame so it feels custom-made to have at least that one be a player character creator one

Exactly my thoughts.

Before I heard about anything about shadows I thought they might do a CC for this one.
I cannot call it no.

Not anymore lmao. With what money are they gonna make it with? If it had started development in any capacity it would be in super early development. Very easy to shelf it at this point.

You guys are a lot like horoscope girlies, you think if you keep speaking your desires that you'll manifest the outcome. It was announced in 2022, it'll be out 26 or 27. Cope and seethe.

I agree it would be nice. I am still waiting for Ubisoft to make a skyrim like game but they seem fixated on linear narrative driven games with a preset protagonist. I tried Farcry 6 on gamepass and immediately uninstalled after getting the alligator and riding the horse which looked like the same horse from the AC games. They have all the assets and the engine to make a game that is like Skyrim but they are locked behind the rules of egotistical executives who are out of touch with reality. AC Shadows characters seem more interesting than Valhalla and Odyssey to me though.
