    The AC games haven’t been about covert assassination since Syndicate. They’re much more focused on open combat now, and playing a samurai fits that better. Yeah, it’s pretty stupid that a game series about assassins isn’t really about assassination anymore, but that’s where they’re at.

      I wasn’t really following it but didn’t Mirage go back to its roots somewhat?

      Origin was still about stealth and assassinations. It’s only Odyssey and Valhalla that broke away from it.
