• AC:Shadows was Europe's best-selling new game of 2025

  Assassin’s Creed Shadows was Europe’s best-selling new game of 2025, beating competition from Split Fiction, Monster Hunter Wilds, Mario Kart World and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

  Worth noting that the publisher of Expedition 33 doesn't share their sales data, hence it's absence from the list.

I am so excited to start my journey! Can’t wait!!! submitted by /u/edwardbutt20 to r/AssassinsCreedOdyssey [link] [comments]

• From a narrative point of view, I think Black Flag is more of a "real Assassin's Creed game" than every entry released after it

  Some might not get why this is a thing, because for a good part of the player base the fantasy of playing as a hooded figure in stealth hunting down powerful foes is enough to call said entry an AC game, specially now that most games don't even get that right

  While defining what a "real AC game" is isn't simple, my opinion still makes sense if we look to what AC1's story established as what an AC story is supposed to be

  The first game is one of the very few that actually dives into philosophical side of the creed, what it is supposed to mean, it's contrast with the ideology Templars adopted and the fact that defining a good and a bad side isn't so simple.

  The story was initially meant to have that philosophical conflict as the focus and base character development alongside or around that instead of pushing it to the side or not approaching the philosophical side of it at all

  The next few games AKA the Ezio trilogy didn't quite do that at the beginning since it was more of a personal vengeance story, but as Ezio matures he realizes that he should be an assassin to fight for what the creed stands for and not his personal goals

  We also get to see how Altair reformed the creed and it's ideas for liberty and peace, but the trilogy still fails to show the templar side of things and it made the conflict very black and white

  Finally AC3 came out and the original AC1 style story came back at full force, but it was the last game to actually try to do it

  While Black Flag's story sets Edward as being just a pirate initially, his character development is very dependent on the Assassin's Creed, it is essential for him to finally realize that the search for gold and rum is a really shallow purpose and without the existence of the secret war his change and redemption arc simply don't work, but the series really fail to approach the philosophical side of things that deeply again:

  • If Arno gets kicked out of the order right after completing his training nothing really changes, he technically adopts the creed at the end but there's no build up for it and it doesn't change past events of the main story at all
  • Rogue falls into a similar category, the story just sets templars as the good ones and assassins as the bad ones and calls it a day, if the roles were inverted nothing really changes
  • Syndicate's story doesn't even try to remotely approach that style
  • I don't even need to get started on most RPGs

  That's why I think depending on the point of view, Black Flag can be considered more of an AC game than most of the franchise. Some of them showed a better portrait of the assassin fantasy, but at least for me it isn't the most important criteria. To be honest Origins is arguably superior to Black Flag in that aspect, but the fact that the creation of the tenants is only explored in the DLC and it doesn't dive super deep into it makes me believe that Black Flag has the edge
