Assassin’s Creed

Ubisoft released the educational iteration of their latest big Assassin's Creed title Valhalla this week. Like each of the other Assassin's Creed games that've been released over the past half-decade, Ubisoft put a significant amount of work in research into the history of our world and humanity to create an authentic experience with their game. The title Discovery Tour: Viking Age takes the work done for Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, and puts it in an entirely educational package.

It's been a while since we last talked about Assassin's Creed Odyssey, but today, the game is working its way back into the public eye.

This week we're taking a peek at the latest for the Viking beast of a game Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The game's next major update comes in the form of a DLC called The Siege of Paris. We're going back to Paris, just like when we were here with Assassin's Creed Unity all the way back in late 2014. Now we get to see how the scale of that monster lines up with this newest reveal - and to find the one-handed swords Durendal Sword, Ring-Sword, Engbert Sword, and the Joyeuse Sword!

Earlier today, Bloomberg published an interesting report in which it claimed that Ubisoft was planning to transition the Assasin's Creed series to a live service model rather than releasing new games every couple of years. What followed after that report was arguably even more interesting, as Ubisoft dropped official confirmation of the game right in our laps.

It's no secret that Assassin's Creed is Ubisoft's big franchise, with main-series releases dropping every couple of years and spin-offs arriving just as often (until recently, at least). Ubisoft, it seems, wants to take things to the next level and turn Assassin's Creed into a live service, constantly evolving game. According to a new report today, this new live service Assassin's Creed game will be called Assassin's Creed Infinity.

There's a book series in the making that teams a pair of unlikely partners. Ubisoft and Hatchette Heroes have paired up with Adam Hargreaves to extend the original Mister Men and Little Miss series with characters from the Assassin's Creed universe.

While Ubisoft hasn't shared any sales numbers for the game yet, it has compared the launch of Valhalla to that of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and it looks like Valhalla is proving to be a lot more popular than its predecessor.

Assassin's Creed is one of the most popular gaming franchises around, so today's announcement that Ubisoft and Netflix are working on a live-action Assassin's Creed series should come as little surprise.
