Ubisoft is reportedly planning to release a smaller-scale, stealth-focused Assassinâs Creed game later this year or in 2023.
Codenamed Rift and starring Assassin’s Creed Valhalla character Basim, the title was originally planned as an expansion for the most recent series entry before being spun into a standalone game last year, Bloomberg claims.
It will reportedly focus on stealth gameplay and be smaller in scope than recent franchise entries, meaning it wonât be a large open-world RPG.
A Ubisoft spokesperson told Bloomberg the company doesnât comment on rumours or speculation âas they do a disservice to our development teams and communityâ.
Assassinâs Creed Rift will reportedly be released before the officially announced Assassinâs Creed Infinity, which is a collaboration between Ubisoft Quebec (Odyssey) and Ubisoft Montreal (Origins and Valhalla).
Itâs been claimed that Assassin’s Creed Infinity will be a massive online game set across multiple historical periods, and one that that evolves over time as a live service.
Ubisoft revealed plans for Assassinâs Creed Valhallaâs second year of contentâa first for the seriesâin December.
They include the launch of Assassinâs Creed Valhallaâs Dawn of Ragnarök DLC in March.
Developed by Ubisoft Sofia, the team responsible for Assassinâs Creed Rogue and the Curse of the Pharaohs expansion for Assassinâs Creed Origins, Dawn of Ragnarök will offer some 35 hours of gameplay.
Ubisoft also plans to add 60FPS support for 2017âs Assassinâs Creed Origins when played on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S via backwards compatibility.

Was Valhalla that good?

I didn’t think Basim was a very good character at all. Really not a fan of where the modern day story is heading. I used to eagerly look forward to the next modern day section when Desmond was around, since then it’s always been disappointing.

An assassins creed game with actual assassination as the gameplay core , how unheard of
