Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier claims a new Assassin\u2019s Creed title is currently in development and is planned to release later this year or in early 2023.<\/p>\n
The leak followed recent rumours that the next title in the popular series would be set in 15th century Mesoamerica and would centre around the Aztec Empire.<\/p>\n
However, Schreier said<\/a><\/strong> sources have confirmed that this is not the case.<\/p>\n Rather, the game – code-name Rift – will be set in Bagdad and will follow the protagonist Basim \u2014 a member of the Hidden Ones who appeared in Valhalla.<\/p>\n the game was originally planned as an expansion for Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla but then morphed into a full standalone title.<\/p>\n While the title will be smaller in scope and won\u2019t be a massive open-world role-playing game like other Assassin\u2019s Creed titles, it will focus heavily on stealth gameplay.<\/p>\n Alongside project Rift, Schreier shared that Ubisoft is also working on a future Assassin\u2019s Creed title called Infinity.<\/p>\n Infinity will be a live-service title with an evolving world and will feature more linear missions like older titles of the series, which is something that fans of the franchise have been asking for.<\/p>\n Infinity is not expected to launch before late 2023.<\/p>\n Both these titles have yet to be officially announced by Ubisoft.<\/p>\n Ubisoft is reportedly working on the next Assassin\u2019s Creed title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":251,"featured_media":125652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[145,2664,733,1157],"class_list":["post-125861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-assassins-creed","tag-gaming","tag-ubisoft","tag-video-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/251"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
