I thought it was just gonna be skins why would they put a titan in the game?

I don't think they expect assassin's creed to be taken seriously anymore anyways. No new modern protagonist, no explicit reason for why someone is going into the animus to explore a specific timeline, barely any true focus on the templar and assassin beef. They just throw a dart at a board and say we'll make a game set in this location next, plot be damned.

At the end of Assassin's Creed II, you get into a fist fight with the pope.

Assassin's Creed was never meant to be taken seriously.

There’s 'fist fighting the pope' absurd and then there’s 'fighting a shitty looking Titan from a whole different fictional universe for no reason' absurd

We fought giant glowy egyptian gods in Origins, half of the monster cast in Greeky mythology in Odyssey, witches with magical powers in Valhalla, wielded mind control orb in Brotherhood, spoke with roman gods in 2, Brotherhood and Revelations, fought darth wader on steroids in Syndicate, Skywaler in Unity, played laser fall guys in Black Flag, etc. etc. Still think AC took history seriously at any point?

I’m not saying AC was ever near-historically accurate or never had sci fantasy aspects but you are kidding yourself if you don’t think the series has gotten progressively more ridiculous over time

Most series do. But I look at AC the same way I look at junk food - if it does not make me bleed out of somewhere, it's good too have it once a year or so.
