Developers who worked on fighting game For Honor have joined a new team at Ubisoft to make the Assassin’s Creed multiplayer game.
There remain a lot of questions to be answered about the future of the Assassin’s Creed series. Ubisoft announced six separate games during last month’s Ubisoft Forward presentation, with only the vaguest of details for most of them, including the Japan-orientated Assassin’s Creed codenamed Red.
Presumably, the majority will be traditional single-player experiences, but one of them – codenamed Invictus – was described as a standalone multiplayer game. One that will be playable through the eternally confusing Assassin’s Creed Infinity.
Ubisoft hasn’t even said which studio is helming the project, but it’s recently revealed that whoever the development team is, it’s comprised of staff who worked on For Honor.
This decision makes perfect sense considering For Honor is a multiplayer fighting game that, just like Assassin’s Creed, draws from various periods throughout history.
