The next step in the Assassin's Creed franchise is set to be revealed soon, with Ubisoft launching a surprise live stream this morning. A piece of art will reveal the new setting for the upcoming game, drawn by the talented artist BossLogic.

Fans are certainly excited to see any development for Assassin's Creed, but as they've had to watch BossLogic draw for four hours that excitement has started to wane. It's a baffling way to reveal a game as massive for Assassin's Creed, especially since a full reveal likely won't come for weeks.

Nothing against BossLogic at all, as he's a massively talented artist, and the piece is gorgeous. However, it seems like the reveal simply isn't mixing with fans.

Fans Don't Want a Slow Reveal For Assassin's Creed

It's been almost two years since the release of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and like after any release, fans have been chomping at the bit for any word about what's next. Excitement was through the roof at the start of the stream, but as the hours passed, a lot of that excitement simply went out. Looking at the thread of replies to the official Tweet shows many fans frustrated at how slow things are progressing, while others use the thread to voice grievances with the series' change to RPG.

Obviously, it's hard to please everyone with any kind of reveal, but a slow-burn like this can end up doing more harm than good in some cases. Fans can check out after watching for an hour, or as people get busy they simply can't watch, and that's not even to say how many viewers simply won't want to watch. A slow-burn art piece could be cool, but it'd likely be better accompanied by some other kind of reveal.

Ubisoft Has Done This Before With Far Cry Primal

Far Cry Primal

This isn't the first time Ubisoft has done a reveal with a lengthy stream, as it's also how Far Cry Primal was first announced. In that case, Ubisoft started a surprise live stream of a cave painting, with no indication of what it was or when the reveal would be done. Fans tuned in for a whopping 24 hours as the reveal was painfully drawn out. Needless to say, the Far Cry Primal reveal didn't hit the way Ubisoft wanted, and they clearly didn't learn a lesson, considering they're doing it all over again with Assassin's Creed.
