    Just a reminder that this game is full of live service bloat. Take every article with a grain of salt, because there is no guarantee that the content remains accessible or as good as it was on review after purchase.

      Now that some games have started adding micro transactions right when the game launches and after being reviewed, I don’t trust any of this stuff anymore.

      Read in another article that internet is a must while installing, so probably also while gaming

        Internet while installing just means the disc is a license with the actual instal data coming over the internet.

        Pre-release this makes sense, their actual intended experience is going to require updates anyway so who give people a physical beta build to leak / datamine / etc.

        Its no indication of any always online requirement during actual gameplay.

      Wait, it’s live service? Everything I’ve read has said the season passes were for post-launch DLC expansion content. Has there been leaks that I missed?

      This is single player right? I’d be surprised if they made it live service. It is Ubisoft though so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was grindy with time savers you can buy, or in general a cosmetics shop for real money. Which is dumb.
