I preordered this on the date it was announced (16/05/2024) . I was on holiday somewhere in Asia at the time but I made sure I had access to the internet and a stable enough connection to be able to preorder because I am a huge fan of the AC games (although very much missing the Ezio games and the way the game was pre Origins).
2(?) postponements later, I'm less excited. Not helped by the fact influencers with given very very early access (alot earlier than usual imo) and the fact these people will get the game for free.
Of the last 3 games Valhalla was my favourite. I do enjoy the RPG element but much preferred Mirage because it was very much like the older games.
I haven't watched or read anything about the game aside from the original announce trailer last year because I hate games being ruined for me when I plan to buy them! I love Japan, I'm happy you can pet dogs and I'm counting down the days.
My pre order starts processing on the 16th so I'm hoping I actually get it a few days earlier than the 20th but we'll see!
Anyway, sorry for the essay.
TLDR: Yes, I have pre ordered it.
