A lot of gamers have had their eyes on the future of theAssassin’s Creedfranchise as of late. The historical action games could be releasing multiple titles in the near future, but it seems thatUbisoft is ditchingAssassin’s Creed’spastby removing the online services of some of the older games in the franchise. Still,Assassin’s Creedwill go on, and since a new, smaller game was teased earlier in the year, fans have been scrambling to get as much information as they can on the upcoming game.
Speculation had led many to assume that the next game in the franchise would beAssassin’s Creed Rift, a smaller game focused on Basim, a character who appears inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. Reportedly,Assassin’s Creed Riftwould be set in Baghdad, and feature a smaller map than the ambitious play spaces of recent games, with a much more intimate story as well. However, yesterday a leaker claimed that all of this information was incorrect, and that the nextAssassin’s Creedtitle would be set in the Aztec Empire.

Schreier also implied that an AztecAssassin’s Creedwouldn’t be arriving for some time, as he stated thatAssassin’s Creed Infinitywill not feature the ancient empire as one of its settings.Assassin’s Creed Infinitywill reportedly feature multiple historical settingsfor players to access at once, and could be the most ambitious entry in the series to date.
While Schreier’s comments do suggest thatAssassin’s Creedwon’t venture to the Aztec Empire anytime soon, it isn’t impossible for Ubisoft to surprise its fans. Hopefully, there will be at least an inkling of official information on the future ofAssassin’s Creedat the event Ubisofthas planned for the franchise in September. Then, gamers will know which historical setting they’ll be stealthing around in for sure.
Assassin’s Creed Riftis reportedly in development.
