Ubisoft’s Next Instalment Rumored to Have Taken the Unlikeliest Inspiration After Shadows Controversy

Just when fans thought Ubisoft couldn’t surprise them anymore with their once-iconic *********’s Creed franchise, a new rumor has surfaced about the in-development standalone multiplayer title in the series, *********’s Creed Invictus. And let’s just say, if true, it’s a direction that no one saw coming, especially in the wake of the recent Shadows controversy.

According to a ***** from a reliable insider, Invictus might be taking a page out of the most unexpected playbook: Fall Guys. Yes, you read that right. The beloved battle royale game with adorable, clumsy bean characters could be the inspiration for the next installment in the historically-driven, action-packed *********’s Creed series.

Fall Guys Meets *********’s Creed: A Match Made in Gaming Heaven?

The rumor comes from X user j0nathan, who has a track record of reliable and accurate Ubisoft leaks. In a comprehensive tweet in French, they detailed what players can expect from *********’s Creed Invictus:

Pour venger mon Slapp, voici des infos sur *********’s Creed Invictus, le jeu multijoueur censé sortir l’année prochaine :

– Ce sera une sorte de “Fall Guys” : 16 joueurs (pour le moment) qui s’affrontent sur plusieurs manches avec des “jeux” différents.
– Parmi les jeux on…

Here is the translation and key takeaways from j0nathan’s tweet:

• Invictus will be a sort of Fall Guys-style game with 16 players competing over several rounds with different game modes.
• Game modes include team deathmatch, free-for-all, and a speed game where players race to light points on the map.
• Qualifying for the next round allows players to choose powers to build their loadout for the final game.
• Confirmed playable characters include Ezio and Cesare Borgia.
• Gameplay will be arcade-style with hits having no real impact and a “bubble” shield like in Smash Bros.
• Camera will be far from the character, making them appear small.
• Maps will be portions from previous games, including Baghdad (Mirage), Japan (Shadows), a paradise island (likely ****** Flag), and Pompeii (with rising lava).

Interestingly, in a reply to a comment, j0nathan dubbed Invictus “The future Concord from Ubisoft,” alluding to the short-lived, Sony-backed hero shooter title that recently and most spectacularly flopped within two weeks.

Another commenter suggested that Ubisoft should simply bring back the multiplayer from *********’s Creed Brotherhood, to which j0nathan replied, “Exactly, a multiplayer like back then on maps from several ACs, in crossplay, free, that would be a hit.”

Shadows of Controversy Looming Over Invictus

Of course, this rumor comes hot on the heels of the controversy surrounding the upcoming *********’s Creed Shadows. The game’s depiction of the historical figure Yasuke has drawn criticism for its alleged inaccuracies and insensitivity towards ********* culture.

While Ubisoft has attempted to address these concerns, stating that Shadows is a work of fiction inspired by history rather than a factual representation, the backlash has been significant. It ******** to be seen how this controversy might impact the reception of future *********’s Creed titles, including Invictus.

If the rumors about Invictus’ Fall Guys inspiration are true, it could be seen as an attempt by Ubisoft to steer the franchise in a more lighthearted, accessible direction. However, it’s also a risky move that could alienate long-time fans who prefer the series’ more grounded, historical approach.

As always, it’s important to take these leaks with a grain of salt until official confirmation from Ubisoft. But if *********’s Creed Invictus does indeed take cues from Fall Guys, it’ll certainly be an interesting experiment for the franchise.

What do you think about the possibility of a Fall Guys-inspired *********’s Creed multiplayer game? Is it a bold new direction or a misstep for the series? Let us know in the comments below!
