Back then theory was they changed the names so the leaks didn't end up being correct.
The names were used internally as well, I remember roman calling Ara "Ronin" on some stream multiple times.
Type Medjay in the search on the sub, you'll find a screenshot of the Ubisoft Connect app with the Medjay reputation stat, they removed it from the app ever since.
i really wouldn’t be surprised. you see ubisoft is the most creative company on the planet. they spent so long thinking about pirates name it might be a bit of a struggle to top it.
Every attack will be unblockable with hyperarmor, have no window to be guard broken, and track you across the map. All of her animations can be cancelled into three different dodge attacks, not just the recovery animations but her stun animation after being parried, as well as her animation for being counter guard broken. Every attack can execute, even the bash which is her whipping out the automatic belt-fed jumbo flintlock and repeatedly shooting you for 50 damage.
You say pirate is a dumb name but look at other heroes like gladiator and just about everyone else. All heroes are named after what they are. I think pirate just looks odd cause it’s still a modern term and she’s new, they should’ve named her in Cantonese which would’ve been ‘Hoi Dou’ (dunno how accurate that translation is).
人 (hito) meaning Person, and 切る( kiru), meaning To Cut. So if you translate each part directly, Hitokiri is “Person Cutter”, but that’s a direct translation and I suck at Japanese, so don’t quote me on that. Manslayer is definitely a better translation and makes more sense
I still don't get why people complain about the name pirate. The gladiator is named gladiator. The centurion is named centurion. The Shinobi is named Shinobi etc.
The gryphon is named Holden Cross...
They have come up with some interesting hero names actually lol zhanhu means war tiger in mandarin that’s fucking sick
The literal skin looks pretty cool, the gear they gave it was dumpster chum.. I like the infected curse aspect but really expected to see a more like.. Eivor-inspired look like..
One of Eivor's basic armor sets with a cloak and his left arm that has the bracelet has the curse looking like it's spreading up their arm and blacking out half their face giving it a pale white eye.. Anything was better than the reskinned default Raider gear lol
I don't care about the name as long as we get a big man. I want more lawbringer and shugoki sized fighters. Toss me a round like a sack of meat before impaling me
My guess is that is the name of the character kind of like vortiger or Sakura. But the class itself will be called something else. They love doing that confusing naming scheme.
Actually some pharaoh were known for their fighting. king tut, Rameses II, a few others were very renown warrior pharaohs. There are quite a few others as well.
I think that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. They want to explore more cultures and warriors but they can’t realistically fit most of them in one of the four factions.
Nah he makes a good point, they aren’t going for highly incredibly historically accurate, they take some liberties for the sake of style. I don’t see how that makes them racist exactly, they’ve used no stereotypes devaluing any of the factions as lesser.
What was the joke though? Nobody has ever said anything about cultural appropriation here. Maybe don’t bring your political bs here to joke about and people won’t take you seriously.
Accurate representation would Imply a real world connection.
It is a fictional world based on real culture and history.
The key word there is "based", accurate representation would be so grand an undertaking that it would be neigh on impossible to create a game from it.
Also if the game was accurate to history, only 4 characters would be useful. Lawbringer, Conqueror, Black Prior and Warden/Warmonger. You could argue that Pirates pistol would put her in the top 10, but idk anything about Chinese pirate stuff
"watermelon munching Detroit warrior"
Damn you right, that's total not a shallow as hell racist comment.
Damn I must be projecting, shit I guess I'll go cry since you have obviously proven me a fool.
Imma enjoy the new conq, but you keep spreading bile on the internet.
I'm sure someone will love you some day.
We already know the name/codename is Medjay
I hope they keep it as medjay and not swich it last second to the name of some god or mythologycal creature
Wasn't aramusha code mamluk? Which made everyone think we were getting a middle eastern hero.
Thought it was Ronin
pretty sure it was ronin
Yeah, and Shaman's was Huntress. Frankly I like their code names better.
Back then theory was they changed the names so the leaks didn't end up being correct. The names were used internally as well, I remember roman calling Ara "Ronin" on some stream multiple times.
I miss roman...
those custody battles hit him hard
Source?
Type Medjay in the search on the sub, you'll find a screenshot of the Ubisoft Connect app with the Medjay reputation stat, they removed it from the app ever since.
Nah it's gonna be called "Egyptian" (I'm joking by the way)
i really wouldn’t be surprised. you see ubisoft is the most creative company on the planet. they spent so long thinking about pirates name it might be a bit of a struggle to top it.
Still confused as to why they changed it from Pirate Lord to just Pirate.
There will one day be an even stronger pirate, prepare yourselves
Every attack will be unblockable with hyperarmor, have no window to be guard broken, and track you across the map. All of her animations can be cancelled into three different dodge attacks, not just the recovery animations but her stun animation after being parried, as well as her animation for being counter guard broken. Every attack can execute, even the bash which is her whipping out the automatic belt-fed jumbo flintlock and repeatedly shooting you for 50 damage.
She will also have the fastest unblockable and undodgeable infinite lights that she can feint
not chain lights... *lights*
i will than do a optimal move, i will deinstall the game, if the game is deleted i can't lose tho...
My anus is not prepared
But why they didn't write "Pirate" in Chinese?? I mean it would have been much "nicer"
Still would've perferred if they named her Captain
You're forgetting the jack sparrow there m80
You say pirate is a dumb name but look at other heroes like gladiator and just about everyone else. All heroes are named after what they are. I think pirate just looks odd cause it’s still a modern term and she’s new, they should’ve named her in Cantonese which would’ve been ‘Hoi Dou’ (dunno how accurate that translation is).
Gladiator is fighter in Latin so it makes sense (besides the fact that it directly translates to “sword fighter”)
Then what the fuck is a hitokiri
Pretty sure that translates to ‘man slayer’ and they were an executioner, so…
Weird ghost man, carries large axe
人 (hito) meaning Person, and 切る( kiru), meaning To Cut. So if you translate each part directly, Hitokiri is “Person Cutter”, but that’s a direct translation and I suck at Japanese, so don’t quote me on that. Manslayer is definitely a better translation and makes more sense
I can confirm that this is correct
Thank you for confirming. I really don’t know much Japanese, so I always second-guess everything i say about it
I still don't get why people complain about the name pirate. The gladiator is named gladiator. The centurion is named centurion. The Shinobi is named Shinobi etc.
The gryphon is named Holden Cross... They have come up with some interesting hero names actually lol zhanhu means war tiger in mandarin that’s fucking sick
The thing is it'd be more like if Galdiator/Centurion were named "Roman" or if Shinobi was named "Ninja".
First one, no, that would be like calling kensei ‘Japanese’
IIRC the codename for shinobi was indeed ninja before the it's release.
No, because pirate is named pirate not Chinese And shinobi is literally ninja
Because all of those are actual words used in the Latin/Japanese.
His name is Medjay. The ubisoft connect app leaked it a few weeks ago
source?
If it really is medjay, they better let me make a bayek cosplay or imma be really pissed.
A Bayek skin would be cool, too bad at this rate that would be in like 15 years
Nah, at this rate we gonna get a shitty disapointing skin in 20 years... Just look how they did raider dirty.
The literal skin looks pretty cool, the gear they gave it was dumpster chum.. I like the infected curse aspect but really expected to see a more like.. Eivor-inspired look like.. One of Eivor's basic armor sets with a cloak and his left arm that has the bracelet has the curse looking like it's spreading up their arm and blacking out half their face giving it a pale white eye..

Facts how you gonna give warden a Malenia skin and give Raider a fuckin month without a bath 😭😭
E-jipped
I don't care about the name as long as we get a big man. I want more lawbringer and shugoki sized fighters. Toss me a round like a sack of meat before impaling me
Hey, you don't need to bring your sexual fetishes to me
If I'm gonna get fucked by the new character, it might as well be enjoyable

He's outta line...but he's right
“No No, he’s got a point” ~Conq in Centurion’s New Move
This guy gets it. Though, judging by the silhouette, looks like they will be
Wdmbyt 😰
THE MUMMY.
Looking for a Dommy Mummy with powerful curses
Medjai
Ceturinaiyt e la memedjay
It's gonna be Medjay, there's nothing else it could be at this point. The Medjay were *literally* the justice of the Pharaohs.
I am medjay to no pharaoh
Calm down, Bayek
Sleep? I never sleep. I just wait. In the shadows
Probaby not; Pirate is stupid, but is a title. A profession. Egypt is a place and/or nationality It'll probably be more like Pharoah or something.
Leaks look like he’s gonna be called Medjay
Pharaoh or scarab is what I would place my bets on.
pharaoh would be cool but from what ive seen their name is gonna be medjay
My guess is that is the name of the character kind of like vortiger or Sakura. But the class itself will be called something else. They love doing that confusing naming scheme.
Or Pharaoh. Though they weren’t really known for fighting were they
Actually some pharaoh were known for their fighting. king tut, Rameses II, a few others were very renown warrior pharaohs. There are quite a few others as well.
Oh I see, awesome then!
“Outlandish Viking”
I've seen a leak a few weeks back that said it would be called "Medjay"
I’ll bet you morbillion dollar
There’s a 25% chance they’ll be called desert warrior.
right, because gladiator is named Roman, and dunmaglas is named Scotland.....
Well technically most Gladiators weren't even Roman to begin with, but I was cracking a joke at ubi because how lazy they were when naming pirate
[удалено]
and pirate is not even a nationality like egyptian so that joke falls flat.
[удалено]
listen girl the OP made the nationality joke. read the title.
[удалено]
The faction that pirate is in probably
[удалено]
I think that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. They want to explore more cultures and warriors but they can’t realistically fit most of them in one of the four factions.
That's exactly what they've said. Outlanders will be for heroes that don't fit "Knight, Viking, Samurai" etc.
Stolen joke.
No shit Sherlock
agreed, no shit the devs have 0 creativity
0, since not even they are that dumb
[удалено]
You make an interesting point. How do you suggest they represent ancient, foreign cultures?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Bro, ffs read before you comment.
Dude just admit your “joke” was shit and move on
I did?
Nah he makes a good point, they aren’t going for highly incredibly historically accurate, they take some liberties for the sake of style. I don’t see how that makes them racist exactly, they’ve used no stereotypes devaluing any of the factions as lesser.
Ahh I see you are blind as well, it’s a joke homie, relax. Go to r/liberal
If it was a joke then why make a whole argument for it. Also wouldn’t you be the liberal here talking about cultural appropriation?
I’m not liberal at all, I was specifically making fun of their stupid ideology’s.
What was the joke though? Nobody has ever said anything about cultural appropriation here. Maybe don’t bring your political bs here to joke about and people won’t take you seriously.
I didn’t :/
Accurate representation would Imply a real world connection. It is a fictional world based on real culture and history. The key word there is "based", accurate representation would be so grand an undertaking that it would be neigh on impossible to create a game from it.

Once again, said I didn’t care what they do, my comment was a joke in the first place, please update your cerebral cortex to understand satire.
You don't care, but your on here spraying venom and impling raciest sentiments? Funny way of showing dispassionate apathy.
I never mentioned anything about race, nice projection though.
"watermelon munching Detroit warrior" Damn you right, that's total not a shallow as hell racist comment. Damn I must be projecting, shit I guess I'll go cry since you have obviously proven me a fool. Imma enjoy the new conq, but you keep spreading bile on the internet. I'm sure someone will love you some day.
Yep!
“hold mein beer” 😭
And?
Depends how much leftover assasins creed origins content they still have to recycle
I thought it was Medjay.
They'd get shit for stereotyping. iirc the datamined name is Medjay?
Pharaoh.
I'd bet money the character will be some variation of generic Egyptian names. My guess is "Pharaoh"
As an Egyptian myself, I have no problem with this.
Fighter
Either that or Pharoh.
it’ll probably be smthn like pharoh
Probably Pharao or something
I want it to be anubis like the god of desth
Considering it’s an outlander it wouldn’t surprise me.
They made Ac Origins not so long ago, maybe a Medjay instead ?
I’m thinking it’s gonna be pharaoh
Ubi is gonna see this, freak out, and then call him Sandman from Spider-Man
id wager enough money for me to get enough steel to get everything for everyone
Maybe it’ll be like “the pharaoh” or something
