Details about Assassin’s Creed Infinity first emerged in an exclusive report released in 2021. But what is Infinity actually? Ubisoft has only hinted at what it might be, but since 2021 we’ve been able to gather a lot more information. Now, a well-known insider has given even more details about what’s really behind it: a hub, mini battle passes, and much more.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity isn’t an Assassin’s Creed game, but it will revolutionize gaming as we know it – at least within the Assassin’s Creed franchise, if rumors are to be believed.
AC Infinity will be the hub of the entire franchise
A well-known insider has seen Infinity in action and revealed how the system works.
Basically, Assassin’s Creed Infinity serves as the central core of the franchise, acting as a launching pad for upcoming games, Seamless transition from Infinity hub to Assassin’s Creed Red in moments.
At its core, Infinity is built around a dynamic live service model closely tied to contemporary storytelling. At launch, Infinity will debut alongside Red, with a host of features characteristic of live services platforms.
Called “The Exchange”, players will find an item store where they can purchase daily and weekly in-game cosmetics for the protagonists of Red. Infinity also introduces the “Sync” feature, which provides access to “Projects” tailored to each protagonist.
Quite simply, Projects function as miniature, narrative-driven “Battle Passes” that offer players the opportunity to earn cosmetic rewards. These projects, which will be continuously integrated into AC Infinity, will mainly revolve around DLC releases and new game versions. They will also undoubtedly give us something to stay motivated during periods of content drought.
To me, this concept sounds interesting and I can’t wait to learn more. However, I’m not a huge fan of microtransactions and hope that players who choose not to make in-game purchases won’t be at a disadvantage in future games. What do you think?
The information comes from Tom Henderson, who is known as a reliable source and has correctly predicted many developments in the video game industry. However, his information cannot be verified at this time.
