Ubisoft is expanding its Assassin's Creed universe with multiple new titles, including Assassin’s Creed Nebula. Rumors suggest that this game could transport players to the era of the Aztec Empire, among other settings. This article aims to shed light on what we know about Assassin's Creed Nebula thus far.
Ubisoft's Expanding Universe of Assassin's Creed
Ubisoft recently signaled a strong commitment to the Assassin's Creed franchise. For instance, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is releasing soon and promises to return to the series' stealth roots. Next year, Assassin's Creed Jade will take us to Ancient China, followed by another title set in Japan. Additionally, there is a game under development centered around the witch trials of the 16th century. Amid all these, Assassin's Creed Nebula seems to be Ubisoft's next big venture.
Gameplay and Setting Details
Single-Player Adventure
Assassin's Creed Nebula is rumored to be a standard single-player adventure. This means it will likely adhere to the core gameplay mechanics that the series is known for, rather than branching out into spin-offs or virtual reality experiences.
Multiple Locations
Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson has revealed that Assassin’s Creed Nebula will be expansive in terms of settings. Players will journey across India, the Aztec Empire, and the Mediterranean. The implementation of multiple locations could potentially make this one of the larger Assassin's Creed adventures, although exact details remain unclear.
Ancient and All-Powerful Isu
The Isu, an ancient and all-powerful race, appear to fit naturally within the game’s narrative, especially when considering the mysteries surrounding the Aztec Empire. The Aztecs were known for their considerable innovations and complex societal structures, and incorporating the Isu could provide a cohesive and compelling storyline.
