Assassin’s Creed Odyssey expanded its story with monthly content releases, while the latest game, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, will be the first to see its campaign elongated by two year’s worth of downloadable content support. Assassin’s Creed Unity boldly (if not wholly successfully) experimented with co-operative multiplayer missions, while Origins introduced weekly challenges for players to tackle. We’ve seen for years now that Assassin’s Creed games are slowly shifting from single-player games into something a little more connected, and a little more fluid in terms of how content is layered upon each successive release.įirst up, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood added competitive multiplayer into the mix, while Black Flag added a fleet-management meta-game that would continue to play while you were away from your console. While we know there’s always room for improvement, we believe this new structure allows us to ensure that diversity and representation within our teams continues to grow and match that of our players.” A historical precedent
“Most importantly, Assassin’s Creed has always been developed by multicultural teams with various backgrounds and perspectives that have influenced the depiction of its characters, locations, and cultures. “Rather than continuing to pass the baton from game to game, we profoundly believe this is an opportunity for one of Ubisoft’s most beloved franchises to evolve in a more integrated and collaborative manner that’s less centered on studios and more focused on talent and leadership, no matter where they are within Ubisoft,” reads an open letter signed by Nathalie Bouchard, managing director, Ubisoft Quebec and Christophe Derennes, managing director, Ubisoft Montreal. We wouldn’t be surprised to see Infinity feature some sort of interactive hub area, set in the series’ modern day setting, with a selection of Animus devices set up letting you dive into whichever period takes your fancy, across multiple games from multiple Ubisoft development teams. Considering that was a retroactive decision, we’d expect Ubisoft to have a clear ongoing roadmap for the way titles built with Infinity in mind will interact and reflect each other – the gaming equivalent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With that title, IO Interactive was able to pull all three of its Hitman trilogy games together retrospectively into one package, while constantly adding new assassination contracts to keep players coming back for more. In practice, it could work a bit like the recent Hitman 3 release. There’s nothing stopping Ubisoft from using the Animus as a central hook through which Assassin’s Creed Infinity ties all these diverging time periods together, while also drip feeding new content into the mix. In the games, players are able to access the past through a device called the Animus, using ancestral information to recreate times past. There will not be twenty-three entries, as some of these titles share the same protagonist.The franchise already has an underlying narrative that ties each game together. To reflect these choices, we have decided to rank every assassin from every game. With thirteen main installments and ten spinoff titles, players are spoiled for riches in terms of selecting assassins. Updated November 27th, 2020 by Hodey Johns: Originally a list of top ten, then top fifteen assassins, the addition of Eivor in Assassin's Creed Valhalla yet again gave us a reason to expand our scope. Fair warning: There are some spoilers included in these breakdowns.
