Ubisoft would be preparing complementary cosmetic content for their new game, Assassin’s Creed Mirage
And with that, I'm looking forward to acquiring the complete edition.
I have enjoyed the last couple (no, I don't buy anything from mtx, and I've only gotten the games on deep discount or used). But there is definitely a point in all of them where you hit that Assassin's Creed grind -- the grind that is intentionally made grindier to try and entice you to speed it up by purchasing an indulgence. When it starts to slow the game down to ridiculous levels, that's normally when I stop playing.
It's a shame too, because there is a lot to like otherwise. Not the deepest games by any means, and they'd be leaps and bounds better without the microtransactions and the related adjustments to game balance, but still a lot to like.
