While it won’t be a traditional game, Infinity will become the new home of the series’ modern day storyline, with new standalone games seemingly becoming uninterrupted leaps into the past.Ĭôté told IGN that the way they tell the modern story will “evolve with time” but revealed it’s not about Desmond or Layla and that “the abstraction that we want people to have is is your Animus. So I think it opens up a world of possibilities as to what we can do that go far beyond being just a launcher for our different games.” It's something that will evolve through time as our experiences grow and we can connect them more together. In an interview with IGN (opens in new tab), executive producer Marc-Alexis Côté explained, however, that that might not be the full extent of it, saying, “The version of Infinity that we launch will not be the final version of Infinity. It won’t, however, be a standard game library – it’ll be a sort of Animus, with the standalone games presented as DNA memories that you can click into and play as you usually would. Instead, it’s being described as a “platform” or a “hub”, through which we’ll be able to launch future Assassin’s Creed games. Speaking to VGC (opens in new tab), Marc-Alexis Côté said, “we wanted to mark a change technologically and gameplay-wise as we’re moving to a fully next-gen – or current gen, I guess we call it – with the PS5 and the Xbox Series X.” Assassin's Creed Infinity: GameplayĪssassin’s Creed Infinity isn’t a traditional Assassin’s Creed game.
When Assassin’s Creed Infinity launches, it looks like it could leave last-gen consoles behind. The idea is that while new Assassin’s Creed games will still be available as separate boxed products, “if you install them, the first thing you're going to see is the Infinity hub, and that will launch Red or Hexe.” In an interview with Eurogamer (opens in new tab) Ubisoft's Marc-Alexis Côté said that the plan is “for it to be available at the same time as Red”. What it has suggested, however, is that we can expect it around the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, which doesn’t have a release date either but is likely still a few years away yet. Ubisoft hasn't formally confirmed a release window, either. A Bloomberg (opens in new tab) report in July 2021, which confirmed the existence of Assassin’s Creed Infinity, stated it is “still years away from release.” Later on, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier clarified this statement, telling us it's “at least three years away”.
