the release of the next episode postponed?

The least we can say is that the presentation of Ubisoft’s latest quarterly results brought its share of bad news. Indeed, the French publisher has chosen to modify its plans for four productions, including Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (which will finally be released in 2023), Splinter Cell VR and Ghost Recon Frontline (which have been purely and simply canceled). The identity of the fourth game had not yet leaked, but it was without counting on Jason Schreier who now claims it’s Assassin’s Creed Rift.

It was he who, last year, had revealed that the game was originally to be an extension of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, before Ubisoft finally decided to make it a stand alone in order to fill its schedule. of exits. Internally, if the marketing of Assassin’s Creed Rift was expected for February 2023, it would now be scheduled for next spring. The reason ? Ubisoft Bordeaux, which would be in charge of the project, would have requested an additional delay.

For those who have never heard of the game (whose title is nothing more than a code name, as a reminder), the latter would focus on Basim Ibn Ishaq, a protagonist who could not be more major Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and would take place in Baghdad. Let’s not forget that Ubisoft has promised to discuss the future of the series next September, probably during the Ubisoft Foward which will take place on September 10 at 9 p.m. We should probably hear about Assassin’s Creed Infinity, the other site with much greater ambitions than those of Assassin’s Creed Rift.
