Assassin’s Creed Infinity is set to lead the Ubisoft franchise into the future. On the occasion of the announcement of current business figures, the company commented on the state of affairs.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot used a call to announce current business figures to comment on the future of Assassin’s Creed. With Assassin’s Creed Infinity, the company is known to try a live service experiment that is new for the franchise with different stories and various designs.
Despite the changed orientation compared to the previous handling of thematically closed AAA titles, however, one will not switch to a free-to-play model, as Guillemot now made clear: “It will not be free-to-play and there will be a lot of narrative Have elements to offer, “said the Ubisoft CEO.
And further: “It will be a very innovative game but at the same time it will have everything that the players are currently offered in all the other Assassin’s Creed games, all the elements they love will be integr ated from the start.”
But it will be a long time before that happens. Leading developers Jonathan Dumont and Clint Hocking, who share the post of Creative Director at Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Quebec, reiterated that they are still in the very early stages of development. Since the title will also be massive, according to Guillemot, it will be some time before who can actually hold Infinity in their hands.
As of now, Assassin’s Creed Infinity is expected to offer a great online experience in a world that is evolving and changing over time. In this respect, the franchise is also inspired by other action giants such as Fortnite or GTA Online.
The chances are high that Assassin’s Creed Infinity will appear in Ubisoft’s financial year after next at the earliest, and thus after March 2023. For the coming financial year, they have already expressed their views a little more specifically.
