Report Reveals New Details About Assassin's Creed Infinity's Live Service Hub
27.02.2024 - 02:57 / gamerant.com / Md Armughanuddin / Ubisoft
There have been several rumors surrounding Assassin's Creed Infinity for quite a while now, and it seems like Ubisoft is going for a novel live-service-based approach for the game. While similar speculations have floated around in the past, the most recent gives a better idea of how the elements will influence the future of the Assassin's Creed franchise.
The past few Assassin's Creed games have been quite divisive, starting all the way from the release of Origins. While a part of the community embraced the RPG elements, others wanted the game to stick to its roots. With the release of Assassin's Creed Mirage last year, Ubisoft opted for a more linear approach, but it ended up getting mixed reception at best. While there has been a lot of ambiguity about what approach Ubisoft will be taking with the franchise going forward, it seems like the developers are taking a totally different approach this time around.

This means that players will be able to seamlessly transition between the three games without having to start them individually.
Reiterating that the game will feature several live service elements, the report goes on to highlight «The Exchange» item shop, which will allow players to buy weekly and daily cosmetics. Another notable feature is Projects, which is described as a «mini battle-pass» for each character. This will reportedly be refreshed from time to time, serving as a means to keep players engaged when there is no new content on the radar.
Perhaps the most notable of all is the scale of the entire hub, with the report suggesting that all the eight rumored titles will be integrated into it. This includes the likes of Assassin's Creed Red, Invictus, Hexe, Obsidian, Nebula, Raid, Echoes, and a remake. Amid these, Assassin's Creed Hexe will reportedly give the franchise a dark twist.
While a dedicated live-service title might sound a bit out of place for the franchise, it is crucial to note that these elements have already been integrated into games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Odyssey, to name a few. On top of that, it is crucial to note that Assassin's Creed Valhalla managed to become the highest-selling game for the franchise, despite heavily incorporating those elements. Considering that the last Ubisoft live service title, Skull and Bones, had quite a rocky start, it will be interesting to see how things pan out for one of the most popular and successful franchises in the
