At first expected for January 21, the team decided to change its launch to just two months later: to March 18. The note that accompanied the first delay attributed to the circumstances experienced during 2020, where COVID-19 was the protagonist. They addressed the community claiming that it was “the right decision.” Now, in February, we know that it will go to some point that we do not know.
Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Bombay are in charge of the project, who showed the first material in real time during the last Ubisoft Forward. Use the Anvil Engine, the graphics engine of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and it will come at a reduced price (39.90 euros) to PS4, Xbox One and PC; It will be playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X | S through the backward compatibility service.
We know that gameplay changes have been made and all video scenes remade, while preserving the story and plot of the original. Its director, Pierre-Sylvain Gires, revealed that they added “acrobatic movements for the Prince” as part of the modernization at the controls.
