A modern twist on the trials and tribulations of the road to Oregon, this official successor to the beloved 1970s classic immerses players in exhilarating journeys ranging from the historically accurate to the completely wild.

Players will pick their traveling party, stock the wagon with supplies, and embark on an adventure filled with tough choices, new dangers and unexpected situations.

SIFTER's Gianni Di Giovanni is joined by Cameron Palmar and Rowan Ryder at Gameloft in Brisbane for a chat about how they worked to reimagine this classic.

The Oregon Trail

Gameloft

Some good ninja stuff, good samurai stuff, it took them a long time to get here but boy I'm glad they did.

Pros:

Naoe feels like the old assassins from previous games
Yasuke definitely doesn't, which is very welcome change
Absolutely stunning world that feels busy and lived in

Cons:

Maybe the world actually might be too big?
It's an evolution not a revolution, if you've bounced off Assassin's Creed in the past this doesn't break the mold.
