According to a recent leak, Assassin’s Creed Infinity would have eight planned titles with a unique center that includes live service components.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Assassin’s Creed Infinity will transform the genre with its live-service center for seamless gameplay transitions.
- The game will have a ton of live-service elements, such as character battle passes, quests, and seasonal cosmetics.
- The inclusion of other rumored games in the hub, such as Assassin’s Creed Hexe, is supposed to give the franchise a sinister twist.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity has been the subject of several speculations for a long time, and it appears that Ubisoft is taking a unique live-service-based strategy with the game. Although similar rumors have been around for a while, the most recent one provides a clearer picture of how these aspects would affect the Assassin’s Creed franchise going forward.
Beginning with Origins’ release, the Assassin’s Creed games have been very polarizing in the past few years. Some members of the community welcomed the role-playing aspects, while others wanted the game to remain true to its origins. Ubisoft chose a more linear strategy with Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, which was released last year, but the game was met with, at best, ambivalent reviews. Though there has been much uncertainty over Ubisoft’s future strategy for the franchise, it appears like the creators are going entirely in a different direction this time.
More information about the live service hub that has been long-rumored for the series is revealed by a recent leak by Insider Gaming. It appears like Assassin’s Creed Infinity will act as the series’ core hub, giving users access to titles like Hexe, Invictus, and Assassin’s Creed Red, among others. This implies that instead of needing to launch each of the three games separately, users will be able to switch between them with ease.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity’s Live Service Hub Could Contain Seasonal Cosmetics & Quests
The article reiterates that there will be many live service components in the game and highlights “The Exchange” item shop, where players may purchase cosmetics on a weekly and daily basis. Projects, which are referred to as a “mini battle pass” for every character, are another noteworthy element. It is said that this will be updated periodically to keep gamers interested in the event that no new material is released.
The hub’s overall size is maybe the most noteworthy of all, since the source indicates that all eight of the suspected titles will be included. A remake of Assassin’s Creed Red, Invictus, Hexe, Obsidian, Nebula, Raid, and Echoes are among the titles that fall under this category. Assassin’s Creed Hexe is supposed to provide a sinister edge to the genre in the midst of these.
It’s crucial to keep in mind that these aspects have already been included in games like Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, to name a couple, even if a live-service game specifically for the genre might seem a bit odd. Despite heavily utilizing these elements, it’s crucial to keep in mind that Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla became the best-selling game in the franchise. Considering that the most recent Ubisoft live service game, Skull & Bones, had a challenging launch, it will be interesting to see how things pan out for one of the most successful and well-known franchises in gaming history.
