WhileUbisoft cancels some of its video game projects, it is a license that is always on the rise and that pays big for the publisher: Assassin’s Creed. She is currently celebrating her 15th birthday by dedicating each week to one of her main episodes from the most recent to the oldest, all of which must end exactly for the broadcast of theUbisoft Forward, while an unspecified special meeting is also scheduled for September to reveal the future of the saga. In the meantime, we will be able to survey the lands of Niflheim in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla shortly via the mode rogue-lite forgotten saga. And justly, let’s take stock of the rumors of the moment, since a few slight additional details are talking about them.
Hoping he doesn’t follow the same path as Splinter Cell VRwe know that a virtual reality episode is in development at least on Meta Quest 2which could be called Assassin’s Creed Nexus and of which a video had a priori leaked in April.
The continuation of the main saga will undoubtedly pass in the near future by the project Assassin’s Creed Rift (a code name) which would stage basim in Baghdad and which according to two sources of Kotaku would have faced new challenges during its development to release it quickly, since it would mainly serve to fill the schedule ofUbisoft, and we understand all the more why now. It could also be the smaller, unannounced premium game that the publisher has pushed back to the next fiscal year.
What is certain is thatUbisoft brought together the talents of its studios in Montreal and Quebec to work on Assassin’s Creed Infinitywhich will not be free-to-play and whose concept still seems to be complicated to assimilate by some, from the little that was officially (or not) unveiled last year. It should bea platform bringing together future experiences as is Helix in the lore at the beginning ofUnity. A big hub are. What is the difference with the games released so far?
We can only guess, but with the introduction late last year of Cross Narratives with new stories involving Cassandra both in Valhalla and Odyssey (an initiative that could come back this time from the side ofOrigins), there is probably a need for interoperability between the next games with typical support from productions live-service over several years. And with the certainty that microtransactions are here to stay (don’t dream), maybe a common store with access to all our expenses from any title would then be possible, among other things.
In all cases, this platform will have to be filled Assassin’s Creed Infinity ! And this is precisely the point that interests us now since Kotaku, covered by Jason Schreiersaid thatUbisoft would work on a game Assassin’s Creed in an open world dubbed Project Redwhich would therefore be one of the first experiences playable via Assassin’s Creed Infinity. The recent trilogy with Layla having done particularly well in terms of sales, anyone could have bet on it. But where will we take Project Red ? It could finally be Japan’s turna destination long requested by gamers (well, Ghost of Tsushima been there since…) and which would inevitably have been discussed internally over the years. Except that recently, as reported by gamesradarJeff Grubb mentioned in a podcast that one of the next entries in the franchise will be set in Japan, according to one of his reliable sources, without being able to confirm the information for himself.
This discussion arose when a certain Jeremy Penter affirmed that the next game would take place among the Aztecs, very quickly contradicted on Reddit by Jason Schreier who recalled that the next episode would be Rift in Baghdad, in addition to adding that he would be aware of two “games / experiences / biomes” of Infinity and that’s not part of it.
All that remains is to wait and see whatUbisoft will be willing to unveil in September, at least if no other credible rumors surface in the meantime. Games Assassin’s Creed are otherwise for sale on Gamesplanet if you want to play it on PC.
