I hate to be negative, but stealth and vikings seems silly to me. I know they've kind of left the stealth part behind with the recent games, but still.
I wish Ubi would just cave in and give us a hardcore stealth game set in Japan with ninjas and samurai etc. They try too hard to avoid that. It's been years since we got anything like a good stealthy ninja type game. As far as I know the last was Aragami and Tenchu Z years before that.

I have that one. It’s good, but not the same kind of experience.

Around the time of Assassin's Creed 3 I was hoping they'd drop the whole Assassin's Creed plot and just give us fun Errol Flynn type adventures in different settings.Black Flag seemed to do that. Unfortunately, it was just a one off.

AC Rogue polished and even improved on Black Flag gameplay, but BF nailed it with characters, setting, story...it’s one of the best games of all time due to that.
Even Syndicate was excellent due to how well done London was, but it was too modern feeling to feel like AC. The games since haven’t looked anything like AC even worse and the settings have not interested me in the least so I’ve started skipping over them.
May have to go back to Hitman for my stealth fix, but somehow the setup of that game doesn’t keep me interested long.

I liked Black Flag, and I'm not much of an AC fan. The ship combat was fun and my son and I liked to sing along with the sea shanties haha. Pretty good game, and I guess the series is too, even if it's not quite my cuppa.

RK, I recently played through Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2 and really liked them. Absolution was a bit of a let down for me, but the last two are really good. Started a thread about it.

Completely agree. It seems they are doing everything they can to avoid a game set in Japan.

I'm sure the Japan thing will turn up eventually... but for now, Vikings.
It's Assassins Creed, so there will be an element of stealth no doubt, but if you have gone on the website you'll see a lot more of what is in store for the game, and it certainly isn't just playing stealth.
