A new game fromAssassin’s CreedpublisherUbisoftjust leaked, and insiders describe it as a mix betweenAnimal CrossingandMinecraft.
Leakers told Insider Game that the project has been in development “for approximately 18 months” and even sent the outlet some images of its characters (which they cannot display for legal reasons) that Insider Gaming describes as “Funko Pop figures in their design” due to their overly “large heads”.

Henderson explained thatAlterrawas described to him as “an Animal Crossing-inspired social sim that will see players inhabit a home island that will consist of interactable NPCs named Matterlings.”
“Sources said that players will be able to leave their home island and go to other worlds,” he continued, “which consist of different biomes, different types of Matterlings, enemies, materials, and more, where they’ll also be able to interact with other players.”
Alterra’sgameplay also features something “somewhat similar to Minecraft’s building mechanics” and will require the player to visit different biomes (like an “ice world”) to collect specific resources.
According to Insider Gaming’s sources, Ubisoft Montréal (the folks behind almost all of theAssassin’s Creedtitles,Watch DogsandWatch Dogs 2, andFor Honor) are the developers behind the game.

Personally, that’s the most surprising part of the leak to me, considering Ubisoft Montréal is already working on thePrince of Persia: The Sands of Timeremake,Assassin’s Creed: Project HexeandTom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Mobile.
No specifics on whenAlterramight see the light of day, although Insider Gaming did note that the title is “likely still a few years away.”
However, if the game is as far along as the leak implies, we’ll probably see something sooner rather than later.
