Ubisoft has provided more details about its upcoming game “Assassin’s Creed Infinity.” Contrary to a previous leak, the video game company confirmed that it would not be released with a free-to-play model.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed during the company’s second-quarter earnings call on Thursday that the “Assassin’s Creed Infinity” will follow a more traditional business model. Players will have to purchase the game, and it will not be free-to-play like other existing online games.
It is unclear if “Assassin’s Creed Infinity” will be story-driven, but Guillemot said (via VGC) the game has many narrative elements in its gameplay. “It’s going to be a very innovative game but it will have what players already have in all the Assassin’s Creed games, all the elements that they love to get in them right from the start,” the Ubisoft CEO added.
Guillemot further described “Assassin’s Creed Infinity” as a “huge game,” but it seems like it will not have a singular focus in terms of features and plot. The project was first revealed in a report by Jason Schreier on Bloomberg last July before it was shortly confirmed by Ubisoft. In the report, the game was described as an evolving online platform, suggesting it could be a live service game.
Some of the details Schreier reported seem to agree with the few details Ubisoft provided this week. In the earlier report, “Assassin’s Creed Infinity” is said to contain several settings and is designed to gain more after its launch.
The project, being developed by Ubisoft Quebec and Ubisoft Montreal, was also referred to as a platform with multiple individual games that are somehow connected. The developers said in an official statement last July that they are “ensuring the Assassin’s Creed franchise continues to exceed the expectations of fans who have been asking for a more cohesive approach to its development over the past several years.”
The Ubisoft studios involved in the “Assassin’s Creed Infinity” project previously said its development is still in the early stages, and that was reiterated by Ubisoft chief financial officer Frédérick Duguet on Thursday. The same report from Schreier also noted that the game’s launch might still be years away.
