At this point, there’s probably at least one Assassin’s Creed game released every month. For example, today is the launch of Assassin’s Creed: Memories for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Assassin’s Creed: Memories is an all-new free-to-play mobile title that blends card battle, RPG, and strategy elements, taking players deeper into Abstergo Entertainment’s new mobile Animus and allowing them to become one of history’s most powerful assassins.

Assassin’s Creed: Memories allows players to relive time periods from history that have already been featured in previous games in the franchise, such as Renaissance Italy and Colonial America, as well as all new periods such as Feudal Japan. Yes, the much requested fan favorite period of Feudal Japan has been wasted on an inconsequential mobile game. That’s Ubisoft for you.

The next few Assassin’s Creed games lined up for launch are Assassin’s Creed: Unity, launching on PC, PS4, and Xbox One in October, and Assassin’s Creed: Rogue, launching on PS3 and Xbox 360 in November. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage.

Ubisoft has made Assassin’s Creed into a monster, a behemoth franchise that spans all manner of media, and never stops doing well. What Assassin’s Creed has properly lacked, so far, is a proper mobile game- yes, there was the port of the DS game Altair Chronicles, and sure, Assassin’s Creed Pirates was a good distraction, but a proper mobile Assassin’s Creed game has always been lacking.

This new title is not the proper mobile Assassin’s Creed game you were looking for either. It’s a card game that blends card battle, RPG and strategy elements, introducing players to Abstergo Entertainment’s new mobile Animus and allowing them to traverse history to build a powerful guild, recruit famous allies and defeat rival players.

“The card battle genre has been hugely popular around the world and GREE and PlayNext have demonstrated their know-how and expertise on such games. With such expertise, we really believe they’re bringing a great new way to enjoy the richness of the Assassin’s Creed universe to mobile players,” says Jean Michel Detoc, Managing Director, Ubisoft Mobile Division.

“We’re thrilled to bring our expertise in mobile games to a renowned brand like Assassin’s Creed and to work with a company that has brought so much to the gaming world,” says Eiji Araki, Vice President, Social Games, GREE, Inc. “The card battle genre is all about being able to evolve and grow great heroes and this franchise has created some of the most epic characters in gaming today.”

“We are passionate about creating great experiences for mobile players and we have applied all of our learnings and success with past games to Assassin’s Creed Memories,” says JT Nguyen, Chief Operating Officer, PlayNext, Inc. “We want to capture all the excitement and beauty of Assassin’s Creed and apply it to a completely new experience for mobile players.”
