Formerly the editor of PC Gamer magazine (and the dearly departed GamesMaster), Robin combines years of experience in games journalism with a lifelong love of PC gaming.

Even as someone who's had a lot of fun with the modern run of Assassin's Creed games, I have to admit they've been having a bit of an identity crisis. The common refrain is"Is this series even about stealth anymore?", and certainly most recent major entry Valhalla, essentially an RPG about a towering Viking warrior, felt about as far from the series' origins as you could get.

How well that will actually translate to gameplay remains an open question—I'm hoping switching between them will help the series' split focus feel more in balance than ever, but it'll stumble if each just feels like half a character. We'll be getting a more substantial look on June 10, at least, with a gameplay walkthrough at noon PT—and the game's release date is now confirmed as November 15.
