Although up until now a new Assassin’s Creed game came out every year or two, now the company Ubisoft will change that model with the announcement of Assassin’s Creed Infinity they are announcing a new platform that is supposed to be similar to the online multiplayer of GTA5 and there will be seasons and characters like the model of Fortnite.
Because of this not a week passed when YouTube-gamers started to form their own speculations for the next project. Although in the announcement itself only says that a big project is being worked upon and both of the main studios Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Quebec are joined, it is also mentioned that the game will be in the RPG genre and as a background it will also be a action adventure- emphasizing that the last three games Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla have a bigger accent on the action compared to previous AC games. But the Assassins Creed games has always had a big focus on the story and the gamers don’t know if the project will be in a MMO format, or there will be a platform like the Abstergo menu in the games, and because the games are so story driven they don’t know how the PvP would fit in, but that is already done rather well in MMOs. Up until now the most creative PvP was in Assassin’s Creed 3 which was a mixture of both PvP and PvE. There was also a Co-op option in Assassin’s Creed Unity so friends could join up and play missions together, but with all the problems that Unity had with bugs and other issues that part of the game was unsuccessful.
Assassins Creed Infinity is presumed to be a one big platform on which the players would be able to play in different themes with different historical periods that would change as seasons and that the characters that will be presented would be both older characters and completely new characters that the gamers would play with. Judging by the previous games there should also be microtransactions but it is unknown if Infinity will be free or not.
Still this is a project that will be in preparation and worked upon in the next several years so we’ll have to wait to find out more.
