A new flavor of Assassin's Creed

Ubisoft is reportedly working on a new Assassin's Creed game to “invigorate” its sparse release schedule. Sources familiar with the project say that the game was initially planned as an expansion for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but evolved into a full or standalone game in late 2021.

The project, codenamed Rift, is said to be smaller than previous games in the series. It will not have a large open world, but the gameplay will be more focused on playing in the so-called hidden mode (stealth play). We don't know much about the content yet, as Ubisoft refuses to "comment on rumors and speculation", but it has been revealed that the game will follow the character Basim before the events of Valhalla.

Of course, we do not know how the fans of the game, which was released in November 2020, was extremely well received and quickly raised expectations for new adventures, will accept the fact that instead of an upgrade, a new game will be available. Fortunately, the Dawn of Ragnarok expansion is scheduled to be released on March 10th, which will comfort the skeptics a bit.
