Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood may not quite have the budget that Halo: Reach does with its live action trailers and all, but it is doing what it can to make up for it. Ubisoft has begun to release a series of developer’s diaries, highlighting new gameplay options, hints at the story, and generally just showing off how awesome they think the game will be.

The last developer’s diary showed off some of the recruitment tools that Ezio will have when he begins his bloody path to revenge in the streets of Rome. The new diary continues to expand on the recruitment and training aspect of the game, and shows a few new tricks in Ezio’s arsenal, including hose based combat.

The game is due out on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on November 16 in the U.S., November 18 in Australia, and November 19 in Europe. Check out the diary below, and expect more in the coming months.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity: release date speculation, gameplay, and more

Assassin leaping through the air to kill a target

The Assassin's Creed franchise has become an integral part of video game culture. With 12 major titles under their belt, Ubisoft Montreal and Quebec have been expanding the ever-so-secret society of Assassins on a relatively yearly basis. Assassin's Creed: Valhalla was the biggest game yet, with over 100 hours of content between the base game and current DLCs, but Ubisoft is dreaming even bigger.

Assassin's Creed Infinity is starting to sound like the biggest game of all time, but news on the front has taken a backseat as of late. Ubisoft seems more focused on Skull and Bones, due out November 8, 2022. That said, here's everything we know about Assassin's Creed Infinity, including release date, gameplay, multiplayer, and more.

Ubisoft says current owners will still be able to access Assassin’s Creed Liberation

In a blow to game preservation, Ubisoft has delisted Assassin's Creed Liberation HD from the Steam store. Though the company originally noted that players who owned the game would lose access to it on September 1, it has clarified that it won't be revoking access after all.

The news comes after Ubisoft recently shut down online servers for 15 games such as Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, Far Cry 3, and Assassin's Creed 2, rendering their multiplayer modes unplayable. Earlier in 2022, Ubisoft shut down online services for over 90 games.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity could use less content, not more

A Viking runs towards a building in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

Assassin’s Creed is about to get a whole lot bigger. Ubisoft confirmed that it’s working on a new project called Assassin’s Creed Infinity, which will begin a new future for the open-world series. While Ubisoft didn’t share official details on what the game will look like, leaks indicate that it could be a major departure for the franchise that sees it expanding into a full-on live-service game.

According to a Bloomberg report, Assassin’s Creed Infinity will actually consist of multiple interconnected games. Rather than simply living the Viking life in Valhalla, players could potentially jump from setting to setting as the game is consistently updated with new content. If that’s the case, we could be looking at a gargantuan game even by Ubisioft standards.
