It's great to see Ubisoft doubling down on what made the original so memorable, but they really need to bring something fresh to the table to stand out in today's crowded looter-shooter scene. Hopefully, this means more meaningful world-building and less of the usual live-service grind.
Honestly, I'm cautiously optimistic they can recapture that magic, but after the last few years, I'll believe the hype when I see some actual gameplay. Fingers crossed they nail the endgame this time around.
