Ubisoft is looking to capture itself a piece of the lucrative pie of live service games with its Assassin's Creed franchise. Following on the steps of multiple game development studios (let's not forget Bungie's Destiny 2, Fortnite, and the upcoming Halo Infinite), Ubisoft seems to have reached the conclusion that their Assassin's Creed universe is better served by being treated exactly like that - a forever evolving, frequently updated framework instead of the usual one-off interpretations of the franchise.
Assassin's Creed Infinity (working title) will supposedly usher in multiple historical settings and a collaborative, inter-studio developmental framework between Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Quebec, who will jointly "(...) guide, grow, evolve, and define the overall future of Assassin's Creed". Ubisoft wants to end the constant baton-passing of Assassin's Creed through its two development studios, and hopes that this change (alongside a mixed studio leadership) allows the franchise to really breathe in their in-house talent independent of developmental location.
It remains to be seen exactly what this means for the franchise - and the way in which development of this online-centric Assassin's Creed experience will impact mainline Assassin's Creed games is still up in the air. It seems fair to consider that the online focus and accompanying monetization features that enable such games to thrive likely means Ubisoft will sacrifice part of its single-player focus on Assassin's Creed. A shift towards providing an ever-evolving narrative that spans centuries of accurate (and not so accurate) history is expensive, as is having two studios in constant collaboration. No information on development platforms, release date, or other details were available at time of writing.
