8 Biggest PS5 & Xbox Rumours That MUST Come True
8. More Assassin's Creed Projects
Assassin's Creed veterans are in for a treat over the next year. The next official instalment, Assassin's Creed Mirage will be returning to to the series roots, since it will focus more on stealth and a linear narrative, rather than blood-spurting violence.
As great as this news is, it's only the tip of the iceberg. Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Quebec will soon be introducing, not just a new game, but a new system called Assassin's Creed Infinity, which promises a whole new way of playing the time-weaving, cathedral-climbing , parkour-leaping saga. Executive producer, Marc-Alexis Cote emphasised Infinity marks a "new design philosophy," letting players share achievements and content, backed up in an interactive hub.
Two games that will make use of Infinity are Assassin's Creed: Red and Assassin's Creed: Hexe. Although it's been confirmed Red is a samurai-based title set in feudal Japan, details are sketchy on the latter.
However, Bloomberg reported Hexe takes place in 16th century Europe, during the witch trials, which led to up to 60,000 people being burned at the stake. If this report is true, Hexe is sure to take the franchise in a much darker direction than normal.
Although Infinity, Red, and Hexe shouldn't be released until 2024, they should be 100% worth the wait.
