Assassin's Creed Infinity - Everything We Know About Ubisoft's Game Hub

GameSpot may receive revenue from affiliate and advertising partnerships for sharing this content and from purchases through links.

Following Assassin's Creed Mirage, the series will live within a hub known as Infinity.

Assassin's Creed Infinity is an upcoming multiple-games-in-one-package service hub. Infinity is a portal through which players can play multiple Assassin's Creed experiences--it sounds a lot like Netflix or Xbox Games Pass, but solely for Assassin's Creed games. Below, we've rounded up everything we know about Infinity, including the two games already confirmed for the service hub.

Release date

We don't yet know when it is coming out, though Assassin's Creed Infinity reportedly won't launch until 2024 at the earliest.

Now Playing: Future Of Assassin's Creed: What Is Project Infinity?

What we know

Infinity is the current placeholder name for an upcoming Assassin's Creed hub that will host a variety of games that feature multiple locales and historical periods. Multiple games are being packaged together, with the potential for each to play differently and utilize unique mechanics and settings.

"Infinity is not a game, per se," executive producer Marc-Alexis Côté said during Ubisoft Forward 2022. "It's going to be the single entry point for our fans into the Assassin's Creed franchise into the future. Infinity is going to be a hub that will unite all our different experiences and our players, together in meaningful ways."

We know of two games currently planned for the Infinity hub: Project Red, an Assassin's Creed game set during feudal Japan, and Project Hexe, which appears to feature a witchy vibe.

Côté said Project Red will be the company's "next premium flagship title," following 2023's Assassin's Creed Mirage. "It will let players explore one of their most-awaited settings ever in the franchise, feudal Japan, and they'll live a very powerful shinobi fantasy," Côté said. It's possible the protagonist for Project Red was leaked in October 2023--Ubisoft senior writer Pierre Boudreau (who is working on Project Red) briefly changed his LinkedIn banner image to that of a female shinobi and the symbol of the Assassin Brotherhood.

No Caption Provided

Project Hexe, meanwhile, will be helmed by the Assassin's Creed Valhalla team in Montreal, and it's being led by Clint Hocking, who previously directed Watch Dogs: Legion and Far Cry 2. Ubisoft hasn't shared as many details about this game so it's presumably still more of a concept at this point, but Côté did say it's "a very different type of Assassin's Creed."

Also of note, Assassin's Creed narrative director Darby McDevitt returned to Ubisoft in November 2021. The writer has been instrumental in shaping the lore behind the long-running series, so he would presumably be tapped to work on all the projects that are a part of Infinity. However, neither Ubisoft nor McDevitt has confirmed whether that is the case.

Platforms

Ubisoft has not yet announced the launch platforms for Infinity. Since it's reportedly coming in 2024 or later, there's a good chance it skips the Xbox One, PS4, and Switch. We assume the hub will launch for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.

PC system specs

We don't yet know the PC system specs for the Infinity hub.

Trailers

Ubisoft hasn't released any cinematic or gameplay trailers for Infinity, but we have gotten trailers for Project Red and Project Hexe, both of which will be included in Infinity.

After many requests from fans, Assassin's Creed is finally going to feudal Japan in a game codenamed "Red." Project Red is being helmed by the team responsible for Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Following Japan, the mainline Assassin's Creed series will go in a supposedly very different direction, telling a story that is being helmed by the team responsible for Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

Preorder details

Infinity is not yet available for preorder and likely won't ever be. Until told otherwise, we assume it will launch alongside the release of Project Red, the first game scheduled to be a part of the hub.
