While Ubisoft has yet to share any details on the next Assassin’s Creed game, there are currently two known projects in development at its studios. One is Assassin’s Creed: Rift which is reportedly a small-scale story-driven game with a heavy focus on stealth. According to leaks, the game is set in 900AD in Bahgdad and will follow players as they explore a new character across smaller connected game hubs.
Reports claim that Rift was originally meant to be DLC for Valhalla but Ubisoft decided to turn it into a standalone game. Assassin’s Creed: Rift is reportedly set to launch as a tie-over for Assassin’s Creed: Infinity, Ubisoft’s biggest and most ambitious game in the series.
It is claimed that Assassin’s Creed: Infinity will be a massive online game with live-service elements set across multiple historical periods. Little is known about the game at this point other than Ubisoft’s MMO-like focus for the title.
September’s Assassin’s Creed event will most likely play host to both games. While Ubisoft won’t release Infinity until late in 2023, the company will probably showcase the game for the first time. As for Rift, expect a full unveiling ahead of its reported early 2023 release window.
