Will EVO be modable? Will it need always online to play singleplayer?

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They've said it will be moddable in the full release and that they intend to create their own platform to host mods

Reminds me of Bethesda's storefront for paid mods that they tried out for Skyrim's special edition in 2023. Hopefully they don't pull a bait-and-switch on their players and it's just a platform for free mods.

There are a lot of paid mods for the original AC, so I expect that will be part of it. However, I do think that there are two other reasons for the devs to want to host a platform of their own:

  • Being able to remove content ripped from other games, which will help keep them out of trouble
  • Giving users the option to automatically download the mods necessary to join a multiplayer game

Yeah, but requiring payment for a mod is the modder's decision for AC. For AC EVO, I'm concerned Kunos is going to make that their decision.

That needs to be taken with a grain of salt after this silent move.

I agree, although I think that they would understand how harmful a lack of mod support would be to the game. I hope they do, anyway
