Last year, Ubisoft first talked about Assassin’s Creed Infinity, during the Assassin’s Creed Showcase a few new details were given today.
Although we are still a long way from a detailed idea of the whole. That will probably take a while too.
What is Assassin’s Creed Infinity?
Infinity is being billed as the hub and platform for future Assassin’s Creed games, including the newly announced titles Codename Red and Codename Hexe today.
They also confirmed work on a standalone multiplayer experience that will be accessible via Infinity: “We are currently investigating how we can bring standalone multiplayer experiences back to the Assassin’s Creed universe, all connected to the Infinity Hub.” , says Ubisoft’s Marc-Alexis Coté.
“Infinity isn’t a game per se,” he adds. “It will be an entry point for our fans into the Assassin’s Creed franchise in the future.”
Both the Red and Hexe games were introduced with Animus-like animation, so is Infinity some kind of platform that’s animus-like?
“Infinity will be a hub that connects all of our different experiences and our players in a meaningful way,” says Coté.
That’s still pretty vague, especially as there’s talk of Infinity launching at some point “in the coming years.” And there are no release periods for the Red and Hexe projects mentioned in connection with this either.
It will probably be a while before Ubisoft reveals all the details and shows more of it.
