<\/a>A promotional poster for AC Unity’s co-op PvE multiplayer mode<\/p>\n

The news comes from a leaker and streamer who claimed to have obtained the information from an inside source, which underscores the growing distrust between studios and players awaiting official details.<\/p>\n

Back in 2022, Ubisoft announced a unique entry into its Assassin\u2019s Creed franchise: a standalone AC game focused on multiplayer, called AC Invictus. Being made by veteran developers who previously worked on For Honour, Invictus became the 5th title in development, following Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Codename Red, Codename Jade, and Codename Hexe.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Described as a \u201cfunny\u201d sort of game, in which Fall Guys meets Fortnite, with cartoon-like graphics.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2026: a streamer has revealed leaks<\/a> from an undisclosed source within or close to the project, bringing dire news. In a Twitter post, j0nathan<\/a> has revisited his earlier opinions on the game, stating \u201cthe concept was rubbish and the game would probably flop.\u201d He claimed to have been contacted by someone \u201cfrom the development team,\u201d who confessed that even the devs \u201cdon\u2019t believe in the game and are disgusted to be working on this garbage.\u201d <\/p>\n

Toxic positivity is the label for studios that believe management knows better than artists how to make games, and instead of fostering an environment of accountability and innovation, they falsely proclaim their projects to be the next best thing since sliced bread.<\/p>\n

For example, insider information from Concord<\/a> revealed a similar unhealthy work environment in which legitimate concerns were stifled, and the people who raised them were often berated by those controlling the project. Described as a \u201chead in the sand mentality\u201d stemming from a \u201ctoo good to fail\u201d mindset. The situation at Ubisoft starts to sound eerily familiar, as the YouTuber revealed the exact words of his source.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I don’t know any colleagues who appreciate Invictus. Only managers will probably continue to smile and praise the merits of this project.<\/p>\n

j0nathan<\/a> goes on to share his own opinions, which shed a little more light on the matter, for context. \u201cRidiculous animations, hideous and cartoonish characters (their faces are just as awful), idiotic sound and visual effects, fighting arenas,\u201d the streamer stated, as he shared his disgust of the concept, wondering who the game was targeted towards. He confesses that perhaps the game\u2019s audience isn\u2019t the franchise’s fans around the world, but children who are \u201csix years old?\u201d he mused.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

For now, fans will have to wait for official sources for reliable information on the game, such as reveals or interviews with the dev teams. However, given Ubisoft’s current state and its recent projects, it’s not far-fetched for gamers to be wary of overhyped AAA titles that deliver poorly. <\/p>\n

Gamers unwilling to wait or wanting to try out the last single-player focused title from the Assassin’s Creed universe can still grab the Amazon-exclusive limited edition of the title here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
