Is this the end of traditional single-player AC games? Then again, Ubisoft does like to surprise us. It's in every single game, it makes too much sense. This is a great starting point for how infinity might work, but again, this is three years away, and a lot can change, there’s no way the Animus isn't a core part of infinity. It may not be one huge game but by the end of this thing it could end up being just as big as the last three games combined. We'll get mostly bigger experiences because that's what's been working. It's probably going to be multiple pieces of Assassin's Creed content of varying sizes. It's still very early, but Ubisoft has definitely talked about the platform being HELIX, or ABSTERGO related, at the beginning of AC Unity, you might remember there's a menu, a HELIX menu which shows a lot of different historical settings within the Animus. This could be an opportunity to reintroduce characters from previous games with new content instead of outfits in every game to attract older fans. If that's the case, we could see RPG elements like dialogue choices return. We can speculate that it will likely play similarly to Assassin's Creed Valhalla or other open-world Ubisoft titles. Ubisoft is most likely going to double down on the looter RPG formula, only because that's what's been working. Maybe in one season, we'll get this episodic arc about an Assassin in South America, and then the next season, we'll go to Africa or to the Russian Revolution.

It would also make sense to adopt a seasonal structure like Valhalla is trying to do. Maybe weekly releases of new weapons, new missions and challenges and so on. This game is expected to see frequent new content. Hopefully, we'll be seeing new locations in Assassin's Creed Infinity instead of rehashes of regions we've already been to. Highly requested locations have been places like ancient Japan and China. The franchise's long-running tagline is "history is our playground," so there's no telling where Ubisoft could take us next. What we don't know are the exact locations or time periods it's set to take place. Assassin's Creed Infinity: Setting & ContentĪssassin's Creed Infinity will apparently include multiple settings, allowing players to explore different locations and time periods in a single game. It would make sense to assume that it has multiplayer of some kind, but Ubisoft may just keep it single-player and allow players to explore its evolving world solo. It's natural to associate live service with Co-op or multiplayer because most life Service Games do that. There's a lot of talk about this being the AC version of Destiny or Anthem, but nothing we've heard so far confirms that. Instead of "continuing to pass the baton from game to game" as Ubisoft put it in its official announcement, Infinity will be able to "evolve in a more integrated and collaborative manner that's less centred on studios and more focused on talent and leadership." Will Assassin's Creed Infinity be multiplayer/MMO? (Picture: Ubisoft)Īccording to Jason Infinity could be a hub that supports multiple AC games both big and small. Assassin's Creed Infinity: What is it?Īccording to Jason Schreier's report on Bloomberg Infinity will be a massive online platform that evolves over time, instead of giving us just one historical setting infinity will deliver multiple settings and give room to expand over many years, each game might look and feel different, but they will all be connected. The sales have definitely gone up but Assassin’s Creed never reached the height of fandom it created in Assassin’s Creed II. Finally, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla takes place in the Viking Age, mostly in England and Norway.

Then Assassin's Creed: Odyssey turns back time to Ancient Greece, which is the earliest historical period in the series. Then after a year gap Assassin's Creed: Origins skips back 2000 years in history, taking place in Ptolemaic Egypt and eastern Libya. The next games take us to Revolutionary Paris and Victorian London but couldn’t gather fan traction. A year later, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag takes us to the Caribbean during The Golden Age of Piracy and is a smash hit, instantly reigniting the fanbase’s love for the franchise.Īt this point that Ubisoft Quebec was brought in and that’s where the problems began. Assassins Creed III takes us to Revolutionary America, mostly Boston, New York, and surrounding areas dividing the fanbase. The third one mostly takes place in Istanbul, concluding Ezio Auditore's storyline. His uncle trains him to become an Assassin to avenge his family and join the battle against the Templars. The player character is Ezio Auditore a banker's son who sees his family executed by a Templar conspiracy represented by the Borgia family.
