New details about Ubisoft’s planned hub for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, titled Assassin’s Creed Infinity, have been leaked. While Ubisoft itself has been quiet about Assassin’s Creed Infinity, a new report by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson sheds some light on some of the features we can expect from the live service hub when it launches.
Set for launch on the same day as Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, Assassin’s Creed Infinity will basically act as the modern-day story hub for future titles. Footage seen by Insider Gaming showed a player going from the hub directly into Assassin’s Creed Codename Red without having to start the game up individually.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity will similarly also act as a hub for Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe and Assassin’s Creed Invictus as well. The hub will also act as the central base for live service offerings in Assassin’s Creed titles. There will be an item shop selling cosmetic items for Assassin’s Creed Codename Red protagonists Naoe and Yasuke, dubbed The Exchange.
Players will also be able to partake in Projects through Assassin’s Creed Infinity, which essentially act as narrative-based battle passes, featuring more cosmetic rewards for the protagonists of Assassin’s Creed Codename Red. There will be more Projects added to Assassin’s Creed Infinity over time.
Tying into Ubisoft’s live service ambitions, Assassin’s Creed Infinity‘s plans revolve around releasing a mainline Assassin’s Creed title every two years, with the interim years filled out with DLCs and smaller titles. For example, while Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is expected to be coming out later this year, the multiplayer-only Assassin’s Creed Invictus is set for 2025, while Hexe is allegedly targeting a 2026 launch.
