Ubisoft reportedly delays Assassin\u2019s Creed: Rift to 2023 UbisoftUbisoft has decided to delay their upcoming small-scale stealth title Assassin\u2019s Creed: Rift until spring next year. After an initial proposal to be a Valhalla expansion, Assassin\u2019s Creed: Rift later branched out to be a standalone game. Set in the Middle East around Baghdad, it will feature Basim from the latest game as one of the main characters. But Ubisoft has now made the decision to push back the game\u2019s release date along with the likes of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. Assassin\u2019s Creed: Rift will now release in mid 2023 Ubisoft has pushed Assassin\u2019s Creed: Rift\u2019s release window from February next year to the second quarter, meaning it should be released around May or June. According to Bloomberg, a person familiar with the company\u2019s plans stated the reason for the delay being the game is running far behind schedule. On July 22, 2022, Ubisoft held its Q1 fiscal year 2023 call. In it, they announced the delay of a \u201csmaller unannounced premium title\u201d which is none other than the upcoming Assassin\u2019s Creed title. Rift is currently in development by Ubisoft\u2019s studio in Bordeaux and is expected to release before Assassin\u2019s Creed Infinity. As we mentioned earlier, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora also met with the same fate. It was supposed to release alongside the upcoming film sequel but has now been postponed. This means we\u2019ll get to see only two major releases from Ubisoft this year. This includes Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Skull & Bones which will be released later in the fourth quarter. Ubisoft Forward also returns in a couple of months. Around the same timeline, they\u2019re looking to celebrate the franchise\u2019s 15th anniversary. We can expect to hear more about Rift\u2019s delay in either of these two events. Ubisoft also reportedly canceled Roller Champions after failing to secure a substantial player base across the world. Fans are now speculating that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is canned as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
