Assassin’s Creed Walhalla has had three major DLC expansions since its launch in 2020, the latest being the Dawn of Ragnarokbut Ubisoft has yet to officially confirm what’s next. Dawn of Ragnarok put players back in control of Odin once once more as he searches for his kidnapped son, Baldur, in the dwarven realm known as Svartalfheim. While this DLC should be the end of new expansions released for Assassin’s Creed Walhallaplayers can have a new small scope THAT upcoming game before rumor release Assassin’s Creed Infinity.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity is a new game slated for release in 2022, though a 2023 release is more likely given the resources Ubisoft is expected to put into its development. With the work done in the Quebec City and Montreal studios for the game, a delay longer than the traditional two years seen between game releases is more than likely. There have, however, been rumors of another Assassin’s Creed game that can be released before Infinite this would focus on the stealth combat that the first two games emphasized.
The rumor Assassin’s Creed the game is called Crevasseaccording to details first reported by Bloombergis Jason Schreier. According to details, Crevasse is just a speculated name for a project that was supposed to be an additional DLC expansion for Assassin’s Creed Walhalla. The report quotes people familiar with the game speaking anonymously since they weren’t authorized to speak to media regarding the project, and at this time Ubisoft declined to comment on anything regarding the rumors that confirm or deny. Assassin’s Creed Rift. Apparently the old expansion that became a possible game would be much smaller than recent versions such as Origins, Odysseyand Valhallabut it would feature Basim as the protagonist.
Who is Basim in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Basim Ibn Ishaq is a member of the Hidden Ones, the group that would eventually become the Brotherhood of Assassins later in the series. He is also the reincarnation of an Isu named Loki, the same Loki who is distinctly featured in Norse mythology as a key antagonist. Just like Eivor in Assassin’s Creed Walhalla, Basim was born in the 9th century a millennium following the Great Catastrophe that wiped out the entire Isu civilization. Thanks to Yggdrasil, Loki was able to pass on his memories to Basim, though it took some time before the human remembered who he was in a past life.
The rumor Assassin’s Creed Rift would follow Basim in his time with the Hidden Ones before meeting Eivor and the other members of the Raven Clan. As a potential origin story for Basim, the game would likely be set in Baghdad as the character mentions his time there in Assassin’s Creed Walhalla. Basim was known to work mostly in foreign lands for the Hidden Ones on their behalf, but given the limited scope of this DLC, it’s likely he would stay in a heavily populated city in the Abbasid Caliphate. As Eivor’s memories of Odin are slowly revealed in Assassin’s Creed Walhalla, a shorter delay is also plausible for Basim. It’s unclear exactly when Basim acquired the memories of his former life as Loki, so the plot of Assassin’s Creed Rift might perfectly transition from DLC to a fully fleshed out game.
The release of Assassin’s Creed Rift before Infinite would allow fans to return to a style of play that hasn’t been seen since Assassin’s Creed revelations. Moreover, since Assassin’s Creed Rift would be DLC turned into a game, it’s likely the story would take less time to complete than other recent installments in the franchise. Similarly, smaller scale entries, such as Assassin’s Creed: Cry of Freedom and Assassin’s Creed: Thiefhad shorter lead times than Assassin’s Creed 4 The Black Flag Where Assassin’s Creed: Unityso it is possible that the rumor Crevasse can boast of a similar playing time.
contrary to Dawn of Ragnarok from AC Valhalla DLC, it makes more sense for Chance AC be its own game, no matter the length, as it would feature a new protagonist. cry of freedom was also supposed to be DLC for black flagbut given its length and new protagonist, Ubisoft had released it as a standalone game.
Assassin’s Creed Rift Could Lead To AC Infinity
Assassin’s Creed Infinity is meant to be a game that spans multiple settings across the THAT timeline, which complements the series’ idea that people can talk to each other through different points in the story. The animus has long been the central element of all Assassin’s Creed games, allowing players to step into the shoes of key characters throughout the Brotherhood’s history. Valhalla not only did this continue, but he also expanded the idea by introducing a method for the Isu to preserve their consciousness over multiple generations. Through Eivor, Assassin’s Creed Walhalla was able to completely break the circle of life by allowing players to step into the shoes of someone who was someone else’s reincarnation.
This idea will probably play a role in Assassin’s Creed Infinityand Chance AC would be the perfect game to carry out this idea. Presumably, Basim had a much easier time recalling his memories as Loki, which would allow the game to have a shorter narrative and build time. Additionally, a smaller game focusing on a member of the Hidden Ones would allow the series to return to its roots which favored stealth over open-world combat.
Without a doubt, one of AC Valhallait’s its greatest assets is its open world setting, but a smaller one Assassin’s Creed might mean a better story and a chance for all the little details to wrap up or be settled before Infiniteit’s Release. a smaller one Assassin’s Creed front game Infinite, especially if it’s Crevasseis perfect because would provide enough content to explore without the need to constantly replay the game to gather new details.
In the case of Assassin’s Creed titles, shorter games tend to have more memorable moments relative to their size because there isn’t so much room for filler content. Furthermore, it would also likely mean that regardless of the secondary objectives Chance AC Would have would be relevant to the story, and is not required to level up or gain better perks. This is partly what made Assassin’s Creed games starring Desmond Miles that were so narratively strong because they didn’t require secondary objectives to be completed in order to use more abilities. They all came naturally as part of the games progression, and it would be fantastic to see Assassin’s Creed back to that style of play.
