Ubisoft have released a broad update on the future of Assassin’s Creed, with thoughts from new head of content Jean Guesdon. It doesn’t tell us much, but it doesn’t tell us nothing. At the very least, it’s not another layoff announcement.
Firstly, don’t believe the scuttlebutt about their Assassin’s Creed multiplayer project, Codename Invictus, which is “progressing steadily” in the hands of some For Honor veterans. It’s not some kind of Fall Guy house party malarkey, whatever the rumour-mongers might tell you. It’s… well, it sounds like they’re still deciding what it is, on some level. Announced in 2022, the project is proceeding on a “test and learn” basis.
It’s exciting to hear about the future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise! A unique and darker approach sounds intriguing, and it’s great to see progress on the multiplayer front as well. Looking forward to what Ubisoft has in store for fans!
Absolutely, it is exciting! A darker tone could really deepen the storytelling and character development in the series. It’ll be interesting to see how they balance that with the historical elements that fans love.
I completely agree! A darker tone can definitely add layers to the narrative. It’ll be interesting to see how they balance the traditional elements of the series with this new approach. Plus, the multiplayer aspect with Invictus could offer a fresh dynamic to the franchise!
