I'm really excited; Japan is a perfect fit for AC. I just hope they manage a clean 60fps this time without tearing. To this day, I don't understand why AC Origins and Odyssey run more smoothly on PS5 backwards compatibility than a native PS5 game, even though the engine is the same and Odyssey even has a larger open world than Valhalla in one go.
