Assassin's Creed Invictus Will Be A Fall Guys-Like Game

New details have been leaked, and confirmed by Insider Gaming, about Assassin's Creed Invictus being a Fall Guys-like game and more.

insider-gaming.com

will feature a team deathmatch, free-for-all, and a “speed game where you have to go to luminous points scattered on the map.” As you move through the rounds, players will have the option to select different powers to create a build, of sorts, for use in the game. All of the gameplay will be “very arcade” with even elements like a bubble shield similar to Super Smash Bros.

I can't with these people anymore man

Oh Ubi is over.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

You had a perfect example of multiplayer years before its time:

Assassins's Creed: Brotherhood
Assassins's Creed: Revelations
Assassins's Creed III
Assassins's Creed IV: Black Flag

Why are you trying to change perfection?

 

[Kurotri]

Important distinction to be made here is that it's not supposed to have a Fall Guys aesthetic, before anyone gets the wrong idea.

But yeah no one wants this, they are cooked.

Key Features:​

1. The Parkour Battle Royale Nightmare

• 100 assassin beans compete in a parkour Battle Royale that’s somehow less exciting than it sounds. Jump, fall, glitch through walls, and get stuck in mid-air for reasons nobody can explain. The controls are so janky that climbing a ladder feels like mastering quantum physics.
• When you inevitably lose (because everything’s designed to frustrate you), you don’t just die. Oh no, you’re forced to become a Templar bean whose only job is to ruin everyone else’s day even more—just in case this game wasn't insufferable enough already.

2. Microtransactions? More Like Microaggressions

• Ready to perform basic game actions like running or jumping? Great, that’ll cost you. Every movement depletes your “Assassin Energy Bar,” and when it’s empty, the game grinds to a halt unless you cough up for Abstergo Energy Shots at $2.99 a pop. Can’t afford it? Enjoy watching your bean stumble around like it’s on a sugar crash.
• Don’t even get me started on the skins. Want to dress Ezio like a clown or turn Altair into a literal beanbag chair? That’s gonna cost you – and not just in virtual currency. These overpriced skins are locked behind a paywall so high, you’ll need a jetpack (also sold separately) just to see them.

3. Loot Boxes: A Casino in Disguise

• Instead of getting, you know, actual rewards for winning, you get DNA fragments. But not cool, usable ones—just random chunks of assassin DNA that are about as valuable as expired coupons. Want to unlock Ezio’s cape? You’ll need 346 pieces of his DNA, but don’t worry—there’s a 0.00001% chance of getting the fragment you actually need!
• And just in case you’re not fed up with gambling on pixels yet, you can buy a Super Assassin Loot Box. For $50, you’ll get the same garbage, but now with a fancy animation that’s somehow more disappointing than the actual content.

4. NFT Madness: Because Why Not?

• Collect exclusive, totally pointless Assassin NFTs, because what this game really needed was blockchain nonsense! You can own a unique JPEG of “Bean Altair,” but don’t bother trying to show it off—no one cares, and the NFT server crashes at least twice a week. Also, they’re so “exclusive” that half the player base has the exact same one.
• If you ever wanted to combine environmental guilt with buyer’s remorse, now’s your chance! Buy, trade, and hoard useless digital beans that serve no purpose whatsoever.

5. Daily Battle Passes You’ll Never Finish

• Oh, you thought one battle pass was bad? How about one every single day! Each pass comes with rewards so terrible you won’t even bother unlocking them—unless you want stickers of your favorite assassins doing TikTok dances. Better yet, these rewards expire faster than milk in the sun, so if you miss a day, tough luck! Pay extra to catch up on a bunch of garbage you didn’t want in the first place.

6. A Multiplayer Disaster Zone

• Enjoy playing with friends? Well, too bad! The multiplayer is a glitch-filled hellscape where half your team disconnects, the other half gets lag-teleported into oblivion, and everyone’s hitboxes are so broken, you’ll swear you got assassinated by a bean standing 20 feet away.
• The voice chat is a toxic wasteland, filled with 12-year-olds screaming about “bean desync” and calling each other “fake assassins.” Because nothing says “fun” like being berated by a child after your bean faceplants into an invisible wall.

Why are you trying to change perfection?

So they can sell skins and battle passes?

It's not about what players want to play. It's about what they can create to extract the most money out of their players.

Seems like an incredibly stupid game using Ass Creed as a theme.

 

[Fbh]

Ubisoft is like
"you know what we need right ? To burn some money!"

 

[FewRope]

Nah, Ubisoft closes in 2025, goodbye

Not to be that guy, but why not just use the Rabbids for a Fall Guys clone?

 

[Little Chicken]

The premise sounds like it would be fun if developed by anyone but Ubisoft.

Nobody knows rabbits, everybody knows assassins creed
