The location of the next Assassin’s Creed game may have been leaked, among other information

Ubisoft is reportedly working on a new Assassin’s Creed game that was previously planned as a Valhalla expansion. Now, a new report shows where the upcoming “Rift”game could be taking place.

This game is said to be a full standalone game and is expected to be released this year or 2023. However, Ubisoft has not yet commented on this topic and has not acknowledged the existence of such a project. Let’s take a closer look at the upcoming Assasins Creed game and what it could be based on.

The next Assassin’s Creed game could be in Baghdad

According to Eurogamer, the upcoming Assassin’s Creed sequel will take place in the city of Baghdad. Bloomberg also previously revealed the first information about Ubisoft’s Rift game in the Assassin’s Creed series, stating that Basim from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will play in the game.

The game won’t be a big open world RPG like the previous installments and will instead focus on stealth gameplay. Baghdad may not be the only location in this chapter of Assassin’s Creed, but it could be one of the places players will be able to explore.

Basim is a member of the Hidden Abbasid Caliphates who mostly worked in other countries on their behalf throughout the 9th century. He is also the reincarnation of the Norse god Isu Loki, the trickster god.

A Ubisoft spokesperson told Bloomberg that Ubisoft has a “robust and exciting lineup of games in our portfolio, from established brands with new plot twists and features to brand new IPs that will continue to reshape the modern video game landscape.”

More details about the game’s setting have yet to be revealed, but it appears to tie into the franchise’s most recent installment, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The Dawn of Ragnarok update for Valhalla is due out on March 10 and will allow players to take on the role of the Norse god Odin, who seeks to prevent the end of the world.
