It will be an evolving network platform. Schreier describes it as a kind of space that will allow games in the series to run.
The games will be of different scales and in different settings, and the authors will leave room for expansion, which could last months or years after release. Individual games on the platform may look and feel different, but they will all be related. However, Infinity won’t be out until 2024, so a lot more could change.
The development of the game is carried out by joint teams in Montreal (Origins, Valhalla) and Quebec (Odyssey, Immortals). Each got its own creative director, but a studio in Quebec is in charge of the franchise. In a conversation with Bloomberg, a Ubisoft spokesman acknowledged the existence of Assassin’s Creed Infinity, but did not share details.
Schreier notes that Ubisoft Montreal has experienced an increase in attrition over the past two months. It was triggered by a number of factors, including a harassment scandal, reorganization and competition from other gaming companies in Montreal. In addition, some employees, tired of working on large production, abandoned the idea of Assassin’s Creed Infinity.
