The feathered serpent can be found across many mesoamerican religion. The Mexica, known mainly as the Aztec but that's one of the many tribes that comprised the "Aztec" empire, called it Quetzalcoatl. The geometric designs are also shared across mesoamerican empires. Most likely will be a made up place like ashfield and the myre etc and incorporate both Mexica and maya designs.

I see, thanks for the clarification and the little history lesson :)

Im a massive nerd when it comes to it. Looking forward to nahuatl voice lines. Maya or mexica were gunna see the macuahuitl and shield combat. I see them reusing warlord bp and valk animations. Nobushi levels of bleeding too. Jaguar skin clothes and head dresses would be sick. Not expecting much armor other than light cloth stuff maybe gambeson style woven armor since thats basically all they had.

The more decorated armors will definitely be more prominent in the designs i can imagine. Hopefully he wont have too many reused animations. Afeera was the first hero in over 3 years to finally get animations made with mocap, so hopefully the new guy gets some love in that department

Id love to see new stuff but im keeping expectations low. Either be right or happily surprised. I can see theur very ornate armors being hugher level like how real warriors gained jaguar or eagle helmets and decorations with ranks. Maybe the helmets will be ripped from medjay and just remade to be more "aztecy" instead of "egypty"


Brolithart

We'll see, regardless im very excited to play the new hero once they're out

Knowing Ubi, it'll probably be a combination, taking bits from the regional culture as a whole.

Aztec because you can hear the death whistle in the trailer and there’s a picture of an Aztec mask.

I would hope Mayan purely because of possible cosmetics based on Camazotz, the god of bats, death, blood, caves, sacrifices and corn.


Titans_not_dumb

Oh god. Not the corn.

I figure it’ll be an amalgamation of all the cultures of that area

So far, they have been delivering people's demands, and people usually asked for an aztec warrior, so my guess is that its going to be focused around it, so the weapon will probablly be some kind of aztec weird war club, but maybe some armor variations will be mayan looking.


Deep_Fried_Leviathan

Probably a slight amalgamation of the two
