Things are definitely changing for the Assassin\u2019s Creed video game series. But change isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, the franchise is merely adapting to the changing world. For instance, Assassin\u2019s Creed has recognized the growing influence of gambling and can now be found in a countless number of online casinos. At the same time, Assassin\u2019s Creed appears to be moving away from the role-playing game (RPG) format that has been so successful for it as a way to make sure things don\u2019t get stale.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft has listened to fans clamoring for an Assassin\u2019s Creed game to be set in feudal Japan. They will get just that in 2024 with Japan being the setting for Assassin\u2019s Creed Codename Red. But while Codename Red has been confirmed as an RPG, there are rumors that it could be the last RPG in the Assassin\u2019s Creed franchise.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no denying that the RGP format has been good for Assassin\u2019s Creed. However, Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage, which is scheduled to be released on October 12, and subsequent games in the franchise will be on a smaller scale. They will be focused more on staying stealthily, helping to bring back functionalities that long-time fans may remember from earlier iterations of the franchise, most notably Assassin\u2019s Creed 2.<\/p>\n

One thing that won\u2019t change for Assassin\u2019s Creed is giving players fresh and unique settings. As mentioned, Codename Red will take players to feudal Japan while Mirage will be set in 9th-century Baghdad. While Assassin\u2019s Creed has Middle Eastern roots, future versions will explore the Roman Empire during the 16th century and the Qin Dynasty in Ancient China, among other settings. Even if some things about the franchise change, Ubisoft still figures to deliver new Assassin\u2019s Creed games that fans will continue to love.<\/p>\n
