Will there be another Assassin’s Creed?

In 2021, Assassin’s Creed developers Ubisoft revealed that they are working on an online-only version of Assassin’s Creed.

Called Assassin’s Creed Infinity , their new title is expected to feature multiple settings that evolve over time, much like the sprawling maps of multiplayer games like Fortnite.

Previous Assassin’s Creed games each unfolded in specific historical settings such as ancient Greece or Ptolemaic Egypt.

Infinity, on the other hand, “will contain multiple settings with room to expand to others in the months and years following its debut,” Bloomberg said, citing anonymous sources.

“Individual games on the platform might look and feel different, but they will all be connected.”

The game’s release date is unclear, but Bloomberg cautioned that the ambitious title was “years away”.

A spokesperson for Ubisoft declined to discuss the game in detail but confirmed its existence.
