“Oppression has to End” says the tagline of a teaser for a forthcoming Assassin’s Creed world premiere live stream.
We wonder if the oppression they’re referring to is the rushed development or uninspired approach taken with recent Assassin’s Creed titles. Probably not.
What has actually happened is that Ubisoft has just let slip a teaser for the debut of what is undoubtedly Assassin’s Creed Victory, Unity’s London-based, current-gen follow-up.
Who are the “Rooks”? The Eagle-like symbol would suggest that they’re a part of the Assassins.
One of the images used as part of the teaser campaign, seen above, has the words “God Save the Queen” etched into wood. If you weren’t sure, God Save the Queen is the title of the national anthem for the United Kingdom commonwealth.
The two other etched phrases are “Rooks”, which is currently an unknown to us, and “We forge the chains we wear in life”, a well-known Charles Dickens quote.
The teaser is all about an upcoming world premiere livestream at 6PM South African time, or 5PM in the UK and 9AM PDT on May 12th, 2015.
Here’s hoping that, unlike Assassin’s Creed Unity, Assassin’s Creed Victory not only works correctly from the get-go, but introduces something new, something worth truly investing in – even if it is just a solid set of characters or a well-executed narrative.
