The main hyped-up point is its setting - it’s a “powerful shinobi fantasy” that’lltake place in feudal Japan, which is something that fans have been begging for for years at this point.

Following VGC’s initialreportof the apparent cancellation, Ubisoft responded: “As part of our global strategy, we are redirecting and reallocating some creative teams and resources within the Quebec studio to other unannounced projects.Advert“The expertise and technologies these teams developed will serve as an accelerator for the development of these key projects focused on our biggest brands. We have nothing further to share at this time.”Responding to this update, Axios’ Stephen Totilo tweeted: “Asking around, I heard thatImmortals 2’s focus on Polynesian gods was promising and being handled well. But it sounds like gettingAC Reddone is the priority at the Quebec City studio.“Notable that Ubisoft’s statement says staff is being moved to unannounced projects, which I’m sure is the case for many. But the expectation from people I spoke to close to Ubisoft was thatRedcould use more people (as doesHexe) as Ubisoft bets on AC for its future.”VGC’s editor, Andy Robinson, added to this further, and replied to Totilo,stating: “I’m told that manyImmortalsleads are pushing back on being moved to AC. Will be interesting to see how that pans out.”AdvertUbisoft has not directly mentioned Assassin’s Creed during this wave of reports, so we should still take this information with a pinch of salt.
