I mean, remember how old Ezio was when he kicked Templar ass in AC: Embers? Shay could take them. Hell, it could be like the End boss fight from MGS3, but with the Air Rifle and being stalked
Well Shay was probably still alive in the 1830s by which he'd be 100+ given that he trained his grandson who was active during the Civil War. So either two relatively old men fight and killed a super old man or they had an altercation while younger but Shay got away.
What is the cannonicity of those books? I feel that unless it's in a game, we should take that stuff with a grain of salt. It makes it difficult for new scenarios in the games or for characters to return.
Ubisoft hasn't published a tiers of canon so everything is equal until there is a issue. And then it's kinda up to us to deconflict because Ubisoft won't.
If Ubisoft isn't going to respect the canonicity of the transmedia they shouldn't publish transmedia.
Yeah, like those comics that heavily deviate from the modern day story of AC 1, 2, and Brotherhood. I don't remember there being an old German dude with the gang or an ankh.
I would love to see the return of all three especially Connor and Shay, but I like them and it would kind of suck seeing any of the trio die in game tbh. But like mentioned before I doubt it will happen since Shay and Connor lived long enough to have descendants and were quite old
So guys here's the the thing I'm assuming the fight is happening in 1790s where Arno is around 30 Connor is around 40 and Shay would be 60 or 70, let's assume he(Shay) is as flexible as Laureano Torres(ac black flag)
