We hear you: New Game + mode for Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be available in a free update this December.

And for the expert Assassins, along with NG+ will come an optional permadeath mode also available across all difficulties! More details to come soon.

What do they mean by permadeath

 

[ChoosableOne]

We hear you? Ng+ and permadeath in an AC game? Lol. Who asked for this?

What do they mean by permadeath

I imagine one of those modes where if you die you have to start from the very beginning & it erases your save

Woah

In Watch Dogs Legion they had like a semi-permadeath mode. If you ran out of agents in the open world you were toast, but in the missions it was disabled.

Could be something similar in Mirage but it's probably hardcore permadeath.

Speaking of AC, have anyone played AC III Remastered? If so, is it any good?

 

[Badlucktroll]

They should make a game that when you die you can never play it on your account again

 

[Darkkahn]

Woah

Look up Wolfenstein 2 Mein Leben.

and that's because...?

I mean, it's a videogame. If you punish the player to loose something like 20 hours of gaming, that's a dumb thing

 

[Bojji]

Have they patched in toggle for CA?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

and that's because...?

it's called a challenge, you're free not to engage; many games have permadeath modes.

 

[balls of snow]

Yeah its hitman lite for the black box missions and was kinda easy to cheese. Would honestly try perm death on hard just to see how far I can go.

 

[Muffdraul]

Awesome. I actually don't place much value in NG+, I re-play the shit out of my games but for me part of the fun is starting out as a lvl 1 pussy and leveling up and learning new skills and abilities, even if it's my fifth re-play. But I do enjoy at least one NG+ playthrough and just mowing every enemy down without breaking a sweat. I prefer to call it "Hey Asshole, Remember Me?" mode.

Yeah, it was supposed to be in the last patch

I could understand if the game was based on resource management, but not in Assassin's Creed.

They're all bloated open world games where it makes zero sense.

Brb died
Brb gotta redo all these pointless copy/pasted missions

 

[mitch1971]

Permadeath! lol You know how many times I've died because my Assassin decides to jump off a wall or tree branch in the completely wrong way because of it's half arse parkour system. No Thanks ubi.

Why? You can simply choose to do that yourself.

It's so certain people (e.g. non-grass touchers) can feel as if they achieved something worthwhile and have some self esteem. Like Soulsbourne games.

Don't use this mode then? It's not like they force you to and some people enjoy some additional challenge.

 

[GymWolf]

I thought the game was already pretty much permadead for most people...

 

[semiconscious]

permadeath in an assassin's creed game = 'doing shit simply because we can & because its easy'...
