Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Infinity will not be a free-to-play online game like its previous versions. It was confirmed during the developer’s last conference call discussing the company’s financial results, reports Engadget. The existence of this project was first reported in July and the developer gradually shared its details since then.
Ubisoft said that Assassin’s Creed Infinity, which is the project’s name (not confirmed yet), will be a live online game like Grand Theft Auto Online that will require you to own the base game to play it online.
The report adds that Guillemot also said, “This game is going to have a lot of narrative elements in it. It’s going to be a very innovative game, but it will have what players already have in all the other Assassin’s Creed games, all the elements that they love… right from the start. So it’s going to be a huge game. But with lots of elements that already exist in the games that we published in the past.”
Previously all the Assassin’s Creed games have a single narrative story. But, Infinity is expected to have multiple settings where each character will have totally different environments. This means Infinity might have multiple games in a single package, although how it will connect to fans is yet to be revealed. The report also adds that it will be an online platform with room to expand in the future , so new content might come to the game as campaigns or seasons.
Ubisoft brought in its unified resources from the Montreal and Quebec teams that had already worked on different Assassin’s Creed games for developing this version. Guillemot said it’s still in its very early stages and its earliest possible release won’t be before 2024.
