Dampierre is a pre order exclusive. Info about collector's edition. EU release date

Is Dampierre for CE pre-orders or all pre-orders? THe news bit isn't really clear.

That said, if his play and looks is as updated as people say it is (haven't done BD), I would say it gives a decent chance for CAS weapon styles.
 
A bunch of artwork and ingame model renders. Some of this is also in another thread, but I'm fairly sure this is in a higher resolution.

One random note, that ingame model of Dampierre looks identical to a render Namco released of him back in 2009. It's very possible they made sure he was also playable on 360/PS3 when making him for SC:BD. If that's the case, it makes a lot of sense why they're adding him to SC5, since he's content which was completely or almost finished in 2009 for 360/PS3 but not released.

Oh no. I don't like the sound of that.

The Dampierre addition puts me in a conundrum as to what version to buy. You'll probably be able to buy him eventually though. And seriously now, the Dampierre trailer was 400% better than the Ezio one. Right?

Seems to me there's still a cast member missing from BD.

I wouldn't worry. Odds are the use of his gun/crossbow will be used in throw animations, whether they're his regular throws, command throws or attack throws.

Either that, or something akin to Cervy's unblockable.

I think they learned their lesson from the Algol hate in 4
 

Source is he's a DLC character, IE, the game is going to launch, and people will play the game and many of them will not have him, but still want to enjoy a semi-coherent plot. Plus he hasn't changed an ounce appearance-wise from Broken Destiny.

Obviously they could add some semblance of story relevance in with his DLC, but overall he won't affect the plot. So perhaps non-canonical was the wrong term to use. If he has a story, and it is in fact treated as canonical truth, he will still not be important to the games plot.

that's neither source nor evidence. that's mere speculation. there might be plot holes to be filled by DLC characters and side storyline. as we know nothing about the overall plot, really, it's a bit early to state that certain characters are oh so unimportant, don't you think...

BTW: i never noticed, but Dampierre's outfit obviously has a frog animal theme. his punch blades are frogs, too, along with his necklace (and his crown pointing towards the frog king)...
 
It doesn't look like there will be anyone else. If there was another guest character they would probably be on the cover with him.

That's show exactly what i like about Ezio as Guest

He's in the cover but don't go on "WAAAA I'M VADER FROM STAR WARS! WATCH ME! I GOT LIGHTSABER TOO!" mode to steal the scene

He's here, he's marketing but still don't interfere with SC atmosphere (and imho add awesomeness :D)
 
Would not be surprised if he'll be DLC somewhat later after the game is released
I was thinking that someone important would be pre order exclusive but it's only Dampierre thank god lol

and yay for Europe release date!
