Assassin’s Creed Shadows To Mark New Era For The Franchise, Says Ubisoft Dev

Expert Verified By

"The New Era of Assassin's Creed Is Arriving"

Story Highlight
  • A Ubisoft developer has dubbed Assassin’s Creed Shadows the game that will kick off a new era for this fan-favorite IP.
  • Ubisoft is set to introduce the Animus Hub as part of this new era.
  • A similar statement was previously used for Assassin’s Creed Origins, which marked the beginning of the RPG trilogy.

Following a major delay, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is almost here. This game, despite its many challenges and controversies, is set to be Ubisoft’s most important release over the past few years, potentially determining its fate for good.

Ahead of this release, developers from the studio seem quite excited and optimistic, showing faith in the latest Assassin’s Creed offering. One developer even referred to Assassin’s Creed Shadows as the game that would kick off a new era.

Why it matters: Ubisoft is going through a rough patch after major failures. The team is hoping for a major win next month to pull itself together and make it through this difficult period.

As per Ubisoft lead animator Dan G, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be a huge deal for everyone at the studio.

The developer shared a tweet showcasing the meditation mini-game and noted that he intends to play the title despite being unable to go through Ubisoft’s catalogue very often. He later made a bold claim about the series.

The new era of Assassin’s Creed is arriving.

The most interesting part about this statement is that it implies future entries will build on the foundations of the first Japanese-set Assassin’s Creed. In the past, similar statements were made about Assassin’s Creed Origins, and rightfully so.

This title was the first of the series’ ventures into the RPG genre, changing the direction of Assassin’s Creed for good until 2023’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage marked a return to classic gameplay.

Ubisoft Is Introducing Two New Protagonists Next Month

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to debut the Animus Hub, an interconnected platform that will become the hub for future entries in the IP. Because this platform will play a major role in Ubisoft’s plans, this is one way the series will enter a new era next month.

Moreover, the IP is finally making the jump to the current-gen console this year, introducing technologies like ray tracing.
