Ubisoft has reportedly delayed its next Assassin’s Creed game until spring 2023.
While it hasn’t been officially announced yet, Bloomberg reported in February that Ubisoft was planning to release a smaller, Assassin’s Creed-focused game this year or in 2023.
Codenamed Rift and Assassin’s Creed protagonist Valhalla Basim, the title was originally planned as an expansion of the latter series before branching out into a standalone game last year, it said.

The smaller game is Rift, according to Bloomberg, which reported on Friday that Ubisoft has pushed its release window from January 2023 to May-June next year.
Rift is reportedly set in the Middle East, including Baghdad, and development is being led by Ubisoft’s Bordeaux studio.
The game is expected to be released before the official announcement of Assassin’s Creed Infinity, which is a collaboration between Ubisoft Quebec (Odyssey) and Ubisoft Montreal (Inception and Valhalla).
While the previous titles have taken place at certain historical times, Infinity is reported to be the platform for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed games with many settings that can be expanded over time.
This week it was said that Assassin’s Creed Infinity will include a game set in Asia, possibly Japan.
Ubisoft recently said it plans to “reveal the future of Assassin’s Creed” in September, when it will host a multiplayer showcase.
