The Acolyte Podcast

Arthur Callahan

The Acolyte Podcast is about combining my two greatest passions, that being History and video games. And after years of contemplation, I finally decided to take a leap of faith (pun intended) in creating my own section of the massive fandom with my first podcast! Mostly, this podcast is about ruminating on my love for Assassin"s Creed, a little bit of lamenting what it has become, but also just contributing to the medium which has brought me so much joy. Moreover, I"ve been a part of this massive

Why I Say No to a Wild West Assassin's Creed (General...

2025/04/02

Howdy partner! An Assassin's Creed game set in the Wild West is surely an interesting prospect. Even though there was an in-game teaser email (found in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag) regarding this possible time period, we have yet to see this franchise tackle the Wild West setting. And after many years of surveys and comments for this time period being highly requested by many fans, I don't believe it is a good idea to find ourselves stalking our target from the shadows in the throes of the

Welcome to the "Revisited Series!" In this series, I am going back through each mainline Assassin's Creed game and "revisiting" them (see what I did there...). After ranking the games in Season 1, I made more bite size episodes about each game to bring closure to my thoughts about them. I appreciate you listening!

2025/02/26

In this "Revisited Series" episode, we are looking back at one of the most beloved games in the franchise.

The game that solidified the franchise as a beheamoth and one that is here to stay; in this episode I am revisiting Assassin's Creed II. Each "Revisited Series" episode drops every last Wednesday of the month during Season 2 so stay tuned for more. Please enjoy

After striking a deal with a Saudi backed investor "Savvy Games Group," it looks as if Ubisoft will create a DLC for Assassin's Creed Mirage after all. We may see it sooner rather than later. Furthermore, what stories are they going to potentially tell? I explore three interesting ideas in this episode. Please enjoy!-The Hooded Shadow

Extrapolating One Mechanic from a Game and Adding It...

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2025/02/05

With each game, mechanics seem to be forgotten or not improved upon. I guess that's what happens when you have multiple studios making an anthology-style series. It's really quite stupid to do, in my opinion. However, in this episode I go over some of my favorite mechanics and if I could take them from one game and insert it into another in order to improve the experience and elevating that particular game. This was a fun topic to tackle, and I hope you enjoy it!-The Hooded Shadow

And in this series I will be revisiting every mainline game, including the Chronicles titles, and giving some updated thoughts and doing something that I love to do which is talking about the games, of course! Every episode will be released on the last Wednesday of the month. So, I'll start with O.G. Assassin's Creed and work my way to Mirage. Please enjoy and see you in the shadows!-The Hooded Shadow

At the end of every year, I will be doing the traditional "Game of the Year" discussion that everbody seems to do. I'm going to add a twist to it though, so instead of a "GOTY" of a game released in it's respective year, I will be doing a game that I finished a playthrough of. It doesn't have to be released in that current year, however. I have two "FGOTY's" for 2024, and the first is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which released in 2023, and that episode is available now.

Favorite Game of the Year-"Star Wars Jedi: Survivor"

At the end of every year, I will be doing the traditioinal "Game of the Year" discussion that every game content creator or publication does. However, I will put a twist on it. Instead of a "GOTY" of whatever released in it's respective year, I want to give my "favorite" game of the year, something that I played and finished a playthrough of, for the current year, but it doesn't have to be released that year. So, I actually have two games that I want to give my FGOTY award to. First is 2023's Star

Assassin's Creed is Cooked...State of Franchise Rant...

2024/12/04

Well here we are again. The Assassin's Creed franchise is once again at a crossroads. Everything I needed to say was said in this episode. I'll always carry this franchise in my heart, but I lack faith in the vision and people who are sheperding it into the future. Moreover, I've got some cool episodes lined up for Season 2, starting January 1st, but before that the next 2 episodes this month will be about my "Favorite" games of the year. Those episodes will release December 11th and 18th. Thanks

The "Evolution" of Assassins Creed (General Discussion)

The Acolyte Podcast ·

2024/09/25

You can do a case study of the "evolution" of the Assassin's Creed franchise and after formulating a massive headache, then you *might* be able to have an informed opinion of it. A lot of opinionated gamers have varying degrees of how much these games have changed over it's 16+ year history. Is it really an evolution or was it a major, even necessary, change that occured? So in this episode, I give my two cents on how "evolution" really changed Assassin's Creed.

What Happened to the Assassin's Creed Netflix Series?

2024/09/04

When the Assassin's Creed Netflix show was announced in 2020, then reannounced in 2022, it seemed to be a long time coming for a franchise that was about to celebrate it's 15th birthday. Being one of the biggest brands in video games, it only seemed like a matter of time before we recieved a television series to synchronize with. There are some reservations about this, however, because the prevailing sentiment after the Assassin's Creed movie, released in 2016, seemed very mixed with many loathing
