In the official gameplay trailer, players could see the protagonist Basim navigate a medieval Baghdad, focusing heavily on stealth, parkour, and assassinations. The footage shows a modern take on the classicAssassin’s Creedgames with the tone and gameplay showing a similarity to the likes of Altair and Ezio. Ubisoft also teased some new abilities such as Assassin Focus, which lets Basim mark and assassinate several targets in a row and a new parkour element with the Pole Vault. Further, the developers also announced that the title will release on October 12, confirming previousAssassin’s Creed Miragerelease date rumors.
The teaser comes at a time whenUbisoft is doubling down onAssassin’s Creedfollowing a disappointing 2022where the company reported a notable drop in revenue and net bookings. Incidentally, Ubisoft is looking to expand itsAssassin’s Creeddevelopment time by as much as 40% over the next 12 months. While it seems the company is betting big onAssassin’s Creed, it remains to be seen how this expansion will pan out for the future of the franchise.
