Developers of Assassin's Creed confirm plans to tackle Assassins versus Templars conflicts and modern settings at an unspecified time and manner.
In the world of gaming, Ubisoft has made an exciting announcement for fans of the Assassin's Creed series. The developers have confirmed that the modern-day setting and the Assassins vs. Templars storyline will return and be expanded in future Assassin's Creed games.
Assassin's Creed: Shadows, the latest instalment in the series, serves as a foundation for this expansion. While the current game focuses mainly on historical elements, it acts as a soft reboot, setting up future expansions of the modern-day storytelling through the Animus Hub.
Ubisoft is being strategic with the introduction of the modern-day storyline, focusing first on establishing new characters and settings. However, fans can expect to see the classic Assassins vs. Templars conflict revisited "in the near future."
The ongoing Assassins vs. Templars conflict remains a core pillar of the Assassin's Creed series. The developers have emphasised that this conflict will continue to be developed, ensuring that the series' narrative remains engaging and captivating.
Meanwhile, outside the world of Assassin's Creed, freelance writer Harvey Randall has a fascination with Final Fantasy 14. Harvey, who has worked for websites such as Techradar, The Escapist, Dicebreaker, The Gamer, Into the Spine, and PC Gamer, also plays a lot of tabletop RPGs in his free time and has a preference for RPGs, soulslikes, roguelikes, deckbuilders, MMOs, and indie titles.
In other gaming news, the Razer Blade 16 (2025) has been considered the best overall laptop for gaming, while the Gigabyte G6X is the best budget laptop for gaming. For those who enjoy role-playing games, a sponsored one-shot done by D&D livestream Critical Role was made canon in the Assassin's Creed series.
Lastly, it's worth noting that Watch Dogs, another game developed by Ubisoft, offers a different yet captivating gaming experience. The Assassin's Creed series and Watch Dogs share a common developer, ensuring a high-quality gaming experience for fans.
