No additional information apart from their announcements were given.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity was finally revealed about a great deal of leaks surrounding the existence of this game. However, Ubisoft was quick to point out that Infinity isn’t exactly a game, as Infinity will serve as a sort of Assassin’s Creed hub for future content such Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red, which has you living the life of a Shinobi in feudal Japan, as well as Assassin’s Creed: codename Hexe, which apparently has ties to some sort of witchcraft. Each game only was shown via a very short tease and more info is expected at a later date.
Secondly, we also saw the announcement of Assassin’s Creed: Jade, which is not only a color of a stone, but that of co-creator, Jade Raymond. This adventure is built entirely for mobile with touch controls and is meant to be a return to the more classic experience. Jade will feature a character creator for the first time, allowing you to fully create your own protagonist. The game will take place in China in the year 215 BCE.
The big Assassin’s Creed announcement was that of the leaked Assassin’s Creed: Mirage. This new adventure takes place twenty years before the events of Valhalla and will feature Basim as the lead protagonist. It takes place in Baghdad and is designed on being a more modern take on the original formula than how the series shifted away from it greatly with Origins.
The last bit of Assassin’s Creed info was surrounding Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: The Last Chapter. This final bit of DLC will tie of Eivor’s story as the protagonist seems to be interested in leaving their settlement in search of bigger and better things.
