Glad to see Ubisoft embracing the git gud mentality—nothing like a punishing difficulty to make feudal Japan feel even more immersive. Just hope they nail the balance so it’s more about skill than frustration. Also, props to the team for sticking with post-launch support; nothing worse than a great game that gets abandoned after release.

Nice to see Ubisoft listening to the hardcore crowd—sometimes you just wanna get wrecked by feudal Japan. Hope they balance it well so it’s tough but fair, not just enemy sponges. Two million players already Guess the AC hype train’s still rolling strong. Now gimme that brutal difficulty so I can flex my shinobi skills properly.
