Will there be another Assassin’s Creed?

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

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

Previous Assassin’s Creed games have all opened in specific historical settings like Ancient Greece or Ptolemaic Egypt.

Infinity, on the other hand, “will contain multiple settings with the ability to expand to others in the months and years after launch,” Bloomberg cited anonymous sources.

“Individual games on the platform may look different, but they will all be interconnected.”

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

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