Would Ubisoft have heard the complaints of the fans? One of the next episodes of Assassin’s Creed should take place in a country that has been expected for years.
The revelations around Assassin’s Creed are linked. While we now know where AC Rift, the next solo installment in the saga, will take place, we also have new details on Assassin’s Creed Infinity, the live-service game divided into several episodes. And this announcement will clearly make people happy.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity would have an episode in Japan
The future of the saga is taking shape. While everything should be revealed next September, credible information is starting to emerge. And after the place where the action of the solo game Rift will take place, we now know more about Assassin’s Creed Infinity, the title that will turn the license upside down. Beyond its live-service aspect, this particular opus would finally take players to a country that fans have been asking for for many years.
In his podcast, the journalist explained that one of his sources with an excellent background on the license, has confirmed that an upcoming Assassin’s Creed will be set in Japan and it will be closer in terms of mechanics to older entries in the franchise. If he doesn’t say so specifically, given the direction the series is taking, it will no doubt be one of the episodes/worlds of Assassin’s Creed Infinity.
A news, which remains a rumor for the moment, which should make people happy, since fans have been asking for an AC in Japan for years. the lore of the game has indeed mentioned several times the Japanese branch of the brotherhood of Assassins. A short story, Assassin’s Creed: Fragments – The Blade of Aizu, was going well there, but between reading and visiting the locations, players took their pick. Let’s hope these rumors are confirmed during the Ubisoft Forward in September.
