Ubisoft announced a large-scale online new game called "Assassin's Creed" in July this year, but since it is still in its early stages of development, the official did not release much information. Someone recently revealed some information online, which has proven to be credible. The news said that this work is a large-scale free online game with multiple protagonists, which is equivalent to a restart of the Assassin series and will also correct some conflicts in the previous plot.
The following is a summary of key information in the revelations of "Assassin's Creed: Infinite":
● Ubisoft has not completely abandoned the traditional stand-alone open-world RPG Assassin's Creed, because they are not sure whether Assassin Infinity will succeed. Long before the project of "Assassin's Infinity", Ubisoft was already making a new and traditional "Assassin's Creed" game.
● However, if the market performance of "Assassin's Infinity" meets expectations, then Ubisoft's next stand-alone "Assassin's Creed" will be the last traditional stand-alone "Assassin's Creed" game.
● Infinity is not only one protagonist; the first release can play a series of smaller stories for free, each with a new assassin protagonist; new story content will be released one after another.
● The additional story may include a reshaping version of the previous story of the Assassin's Creed series, which may contain some classic levels/questions from the previous game, but they cannot be played for free.
● "Infinity" is equivalent to a restart of the Assassin series. Most of the classic scenes and plots will not change, while some plots/events that conflict in the previous work or that players do not like will be modified or deleted.
● "Assassin's Creed Infinity" may not be just a collection of games, but may also include derivative novels, comics and other content.
● The game framework of "Infinite" was inspired by "The Killer Trilogy"; it also has a story plot, but it is mainly displayed through CG broadcasts between tasks; this narrative method has many difficulties, the plot depth may be shallow, and it may require the manga outside the game and other means to supplement the plot.
● In fact, Ubisoft wanted to use that "black box" system to develop the "Assassin" online game as early as the Assassin Revolution and the Heroes, but the two games performed poorly in the first release, so Ubisoft gave up this idea back then. "Assassin Revolution" has increased its popularity in recent years, and Ubisoft has also made new considerations, so it launched "Assassin Infinity".
● Many maps/scenes in Infinity have a high replay value, and the enemies in them have lower health than the enemies in the Myth Trilogy.
● However, it was revealed that "Infinity" is still in its early stages of developmentStage, many ideas have not been finalized, and subsequent changes may occur.
Of course, these are just gossips and have not been officially confirmed by Ubisoft. I wonder if you hope Ubisoft will continue to launch the traditional stand-alone open world "Assassin's Creed" or launch a "All in One" "Assassin's Infinity" and continue to update and iterate?
