Assassin’s Creed Infinity: still early stages + no free-to-play

Assassin’s Creed Infinity is set to lead the Ubisoft franchise into the future. The company commented on the situation on the sidelines of the announcement of current trading figures.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot used a call to announce current business figures to comment on the future of Assassin’s Creed. With Assassin’s Creed Infinity, the company is known for experimenting with a live service that is new to the franchise with different stories and different designs.

Despite the changed orientation compared to the previous management of thematically closed AAA titles, none would switch to the free-to-play model, as Guillemot now clarified: “It will not be free-to-play and There will actually be elements to offer a lot of narrative,” said the Ubisoft CEO.

And further: “It will be a very innovative game but at the same time it will have everything that players are currently offered in all other Assassin’s Creed games, all the elements that they love will be integrated from the start. “

But it will take a long time for this to happen. Leading developers Jonathan Dumont and Clint Hawking, who share the position of creative director at Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Quebec, reiterated that they are still in the early stages of development. Since the title will also be massive, according to Guillemot, it will be a while before anyone can really hold Infinity in their hands.

As of now, Assassin’s Creed Infinity is expected to offer one of the best online experiences in an evolving world that will change with the times. In this regard, the franchise is also inspired by other action giants such as Fortnite or GTA Online.

Chances are high that Assassin’s Creed Infinity will appear soon after next in Ubisoft’s fiscal year, and thus after March 2023. For the coming fiscal year, he has already said something more specific.
