Is Ubisoft going to make the online game "Assassin's Creed"?

On July 7, Ubisoft announced the new work of its well-known game IP Assassin's Creed: "Assassin's Creed: Infinite", and the news that it will launch new content in "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla".

Ubisoft said they will work in a cross-studio collaboration structure between Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Quebec to guide, develop and define the future of Assassin’s Creed, which is a major early development project to come in the work.

It is reported that the co-production of Assassin's Creed: Infinity will be led by Julien Laferrière of Ubisoft Montreal, who has been appointed as a senior producer and oversees the production of both studios. Laferrière has been developing the Assassin's Creed series since 2007 and has extensive IP operation experience. Most recently, she served as the producer of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.

The creative director of Assassin's Creed: Infinity will also be jointly served by Jonathan Dumont and Clint Hocking, overseeing their respective teams in Ubisoft Quebec and Ubisoft Montreal. Dumont was the creative director of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, while Hocking was the creative director of Watchdogs: Legion.

This official announcement also confirms that the code name of the new work of "Assassin's Creed" is "Assassin's Creed: Infinite", and roughly introduces the future direction of Assassin's Creed IP, and also verifies the authenticity of some of the revelations by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier.

Jason previously reported that Assassin's Creed: Infinity will not be released until at least 2024 or later, and the game aims to create a large online platform that continues to grow over time. Although it is not known whether or how multiplayer plays plays a role in this game, this game does provide online services.

In addition, according to people familiar with the matter, unlike previous Assassin's Creed series that unfolds in specific historical contexts, Assassin's Creed Infinite will include multiple historical contexts and expand to other games within months and years of its debut, and they will be linked to each other.

This means that the next generation or later "Assassin's Creed" series will be an online game that will continue to operate and update.

Tianmei J3 general manager Yao Yuan once told Grape Jun that when their team opened and closed-door meetings with all Ubisoft star producers, they mainly talked about the long-term operation methods of mobile games, such as how to use user questionnaire survey data, reverse optimization ideas, etc. Those celebrity producers listened very seriously, took a lot of notes, and asked various questions on the spot.

"Once they fully understand user data and player feedback drives the developmentThe best help is, it will become our strongest opponent. ”

I think this big company, which is famous for making 3A-quality stand-alone games, after seeing popular games such as "Fortnite" and "GTA5", successfully maintaining players' participation for many years through operation methods such as adding new content, it is also trying to enter the game and make 3A-quality and long-term online games, and has made a lot of preparations for this. Grape Jun is also very curious about what kind of works they will bring in a few years?
