TwinIon Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Are we still expecting this to be the first game that is part of AC Infinity? I recall that being the case a while back, but I don't know if those plans have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Quote In the metadata for the game's Ubisoft Store listing, it's noted the game is launching for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PS4, but curiously despite the last-gen PlayStation release, there's no mention of an Xbox One version.

Kal-El814 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Just let me snap my fingers and have a bunch of lady ninjas emerge from nearby shrubs to kill my enemies then disappear in a smoke bomb cloud and I will not complain about a single other thing.

AbsolutSurgen Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 On the Ubi website there is a string of numbers. And on the Brazilian site, there is a translation code of those numbers into Japanese characters. Hopefully someone who knows Japanese will translate it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Okay, been bored so have been casually learning Japanese, meaning I know most hiragana characters and like 20 katakana at this point... which doesn't help at all for an actual translation since anyone can just map these using a character map. But whatever, it's fun! If I didn't fuck anything up, the number to text looks like: te chi to ko ha fu ta tsu de hi to tsu sa so wo shi ru ni ha to ki wo ma te Which put together is: Tetto ko ha futatsu de hitotsu saso shiru ni hatoki wo mate And the Katakana is: テ チ ト コ ハ フ タ ツ デ ヒ ト ツ サ ソ ヲ シ ル ニ ハ ト キ ヲ マ テ Which Google Translate (DeepL won't accept it) tells me is: Tetsuko waits for the time to make one in two Could be totally wrong, I don't fuckin' know! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Again, could be totally fucking wrong, but was curious and kept rechecking a few things, I can get different translations (all machine translations, I don't actually know any Japanese yet, just the alphabet-style characters!) but a super common theme between all of them, no matter where or how I translate them is "two becoming one." i.e. one returned "It's time for the two of us to join together." This one's a little nonsensical but: "The earth and the child are one and the same, and the difference is the difference between the two." "Wait for the right time to do two things at once, one at hand and one at home." You get the idea. Hell, not even sure if I did the mapping right (I assumed first number was row, second was column) and I bet you could get just as vaguely mysterious translations from the other way around. Problem with ARGs is they're always so cryptic it's hard to tell if you're doing it right, let alone in a language you don't speak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 People have wanted Assassin's Creed set in Japan for so long they really need to get this one right, and knock it out of the park, especially when games like Ghost of Tsushima basically already paved the way for it.

Keyser_Soze Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I matched the first line assuming the first number is the x axis and the second is the Y axis The first line is: Jikasohayuugeso / ジカソハユウゲソ / and extra from the IME: 自過疎は有げそ Keeping in mind that Katakana is supposed to mean an English word (or non Japanese word) - Seems like it doesn't mean anything However the Kanji translates to: (DeepL) Self-polluting is not a crime (google) Self-destruction is common Does sound Assassin's creedish?? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a perfectly viable hidden message for Ubisoft employees, but not so much AC in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
