Dear Ubisoft,
I watched the credits and Ashral Ismail's name was completely omitted on it, not even as "Special Thanks", as if he was never a part of Assassin's Creed Valhalla! Complete absurd.
It is a complete disrespect to the Legacy he left only only at Ubisoft but also to Assassin's Creed itself. Not only he was directly responsible for 2 of the best Assassin's Creed games ever (IV: Black Flag and Origins) he spent most of development time of Assassin's Creed Valhalla as its creative director (at least 2,5 years, a long time), before stepping down due to his infidelity accusations and later fired by you (part of desperate measures to keep your image, getting rid of any liabilities). Only 5 months between his departure and the official release of Assassins Creed Valhalla, too little time to justify his absence from the credits, regardless of his wrongdoings in his personal life you wronged him too. Not even Patrice Désilets was ignored like that (he was co-credited in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood as "Story by").
So please, Ubisoft, as you are severely patching Assassin's Creed Valhalla, make an opportunity ASAP to give Ashraf Ismail a proper reparation and put his name in the credits of "Assassin's Creed Valhalla".

I found out that once we post something there is only 10 minutes to edit it. I think this restriction is wrong and should be removed. For example, what if I wrote misinformation or/and misspelling and wanted to correct it? I shouldn't have to create a reply to my own post to "correct" these.
I think it is fair to let us to edit our posts anytime we want, but displaying when the edition was made, highlighting the latest time of edition and if one wants, to click at it to check the history of timestamps of editions.

@vhaltyrr The petty lengths you go to justify your hatred towards Ashraf. Newsflash, "kid": someone can be a [censored] and do amazing things, and better than you. Besides, it is not us who should be hating him, but his wife and the actual people who were harmed by him, not a nobody like you. So your hatred is pointless. Ashraf Ismail, like or or not, did an amazing job for Assassin's Creed Valhalla most of its development time and deserves to be credited for this, period.

@lanague Launch version is the new Beta nowadays. How sad.

I was checking "Ubisoft Connect" and its rewards for Assassin's Creed Valhalla and found out that Bayek's outfit is locked behind watching reveal trailer on Twitch!!!? Absurd! I do not want to have an account there just to unlock an outfit that should be available to everyone. Please lift this nasty restriction! I will pay 100 units for it!

@Vhaltyrr Check your info before speaking out, self-entitled little kid. For one, I never condoned Ashraf's wrongdoings, two, he was not in joint with those abusive executives from Ubisoft like Maxime Beland, Tommy François, Serge Hascoët,Yannis Mallat, Cécile Cornet... Ahraf's incident was unrelated to these other people, although I could argue that this toxic culture within Ubisoft might have influenced his actions, but just speculation. You do not use "reality check" to me when you yourself cannot even check your own claims and still need to mature a lot before trying to lecture someone. Little kid.
You keep trying to undermine his importance but Assassin's Creed Valhalla is what is is in large part due to his influence, and he must be properly acknowledged for that. You clearly do not care, but this is only your own problem. Ubisoft made a big mistake of not including Ashraf Ismail on Assassin's Creed Valhalla's credits and really should redeem itself by undoing it.

@SouldrinkerLP This "reason" to fire him is arguable. What NDA content did he share, specifically? And how much of it was actually leaked on Public? And how much did it really impact pre-order, sales or reception of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, what was the actual damage to Ubisoft? This info sounds more like a convenient lame excuse to fire Ashraf Ismail (if it is legitimate), not because he was unfaithful or harassed some women, but because it was "absolutely unacceptable" to share NDA stuff.

@longjohn119 "poor leadership", "mess" you are really mixing things up badly. If you say "mess" the bugged state of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, you cannot begin to blame Ashraf Ismail for that, he was "only" its Creative Director, and had no decision to when to release the game nor authority over technical aspects of the game, QA, programing and stuff.
But if you say "mess" referring to creative aspects like story, game design, characters and such then you could blame him; even so, there's only so much he could actually control over the creative direction of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, for instance, Eivor's gender which was supposed to be only a woman but allegedly Ubisoft's top management forced the developers to put a "male Eivor" as a option. Regardless, when the 2 upcoming expansions ("Wrath of the Druids" and "The Siege of Paris") come out we will see how much Ashraf's Ismail absence can be truly felt.
And you do not really know the first thing about his actual leadership skills. For all the crap said about him, absolutely nothing referred to his treatment of his team, and if he was incompetent or toxic to them, you can be assured these allegations would have come out; since this never happened you cannot conclude he was a "poor leader".

@Hank_Pank Wow, you a terrible "judge". Never have a position of power, you shall bring misery and suffering to all those "beneath" you.

Since Assassin's Creed Odyssey I stopped caring about Layla Hassan but I was curious about how she would be handled in Assassin's Creed Valhalla since this was promised as the end of her arc. Thanks to "Gamer Little Playground" I watched the ending for her story (I skipped the Eivor parts as I actually intend to play Assassin's Creed Valhalla someday) and... it was not bad. Certainly not as bad and how Desmond Miles was killed at least but not great either.
I certainly think it was ridiculous that by chance Layla was stabbed by that simulation device and was fine with it and the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus she was holding sort of conveniently fell right on Basim's... "corpse" I guess and miraculously revived him, so the Staff can revive dead people now? And then it cuts right through Basim at New England's cabin talking to Rebecca and Shaun and they just let him there with the Animus and apparently going along with his mad idea to contact William Miles in person (which is obviously very dangerous to him... "Daniel Cross 2.0") instead of insisting to call him first??? Quite a few gaps there.
And Layla apparently got stuck in that simulation machine to "slow it down" indefinitely to figure out a better future for Earth but what would she do with it, especially when she is implied to die from radiation, how would she transmit her brilliant solution? She accepted her doomed fate way too easily. Not to mention when she dies, won't the Earth's Cataclysm happen anyway? Templars apparently are no longer a big deal either.
As dirt as Desmond Miles was done at least he went out with a bang, but Layla Hassan went out with a whimper. Bah. I absolutely missed out a lot of plot stuff in this game, but this ending did not impressed me.
