Ubisoft is developing what sounds like the most ambitious Assassin's Creed title yet, one that is basically a "massive online platform that evolves over time," according to a report that was subsequently confirmed, at least in part, by the publisher.
This game is codenamed Assassin's Creed Infinity, according to Bloomberg's sources, and then confirmed by Ubisoft's own statement. The report said Infinity, or whatever final name the game is given if development is seen through to release, will feature multiple settings and "room to expand" in the months and years after launch. The games within the Infinity "platform" could "look and feel different," but they will each be connected in some manner, the report said.

Yeah... I'm starting to worry that RDR2 was their swan song considering how the major players have left and news of an evolving map.

I agree. The example you have provided has made this very clear.

This is real, read above and know Rockstar are also doing the same thing

This just sounds like every online game ever made, not sure about the Fortnite leap.

I read MAJOR Rockstar game figures of the past era, all left. Now TakeTwo are making decisions.

What does that have to do with Fortnite, a Battle Royale game?

I feel like your connecting dots you made yourself

Battle royales are not live service games

Bro, they are talking bout Fornite style map that "explodes one day" and becomes another "Map" "season"a few months later, All to see Microtransactions stuff.

TakeTwo, will sell CJ skins

Do you mean an MMO? MMOs have been doing that for years before Fortnite was even a concept. Most obvious examples being WoW(Cataclysm, Shadowlands to an extent) and FFXIV(A Realm Reborn)

Just saying, it's not a Fortnite thing. It's... Pretty common in online games

It is pretty clear the big execs see Fornite making Billions and they want some of that

they can create "AC seasons", to sell stuff,

they already will test this for the first time EVER, with AC Valhalla...

no read my previous comment, that's what Rockstar wants and now Ubisoft

one big World full of stuff from their Major IP, sell it to people and keep evolving it via "seasons"


---

They no longer want to create single player AAA experience IPs

They want to Create one Blueprint foundation and Keep adding to it

as you have to PAY via Seasons Pass.

On the up side, since Ubisoft is finally adopting this it usually means that genre is going to be thrown in to a deathknell. They kill literally everything they touch aside from Assassin's Creed, which they just keep rolling out of the hospital every time it's sort of conscious.

So they want to create an MMO, like WoW or Guild Wars. Not a battle royale.

So in otherwords... the only similarities between the two is Online play, and microtransactions (which WoW also has). Or maybe the idea of updating things once in a while to keep things fresh like literally every online game ever (Even R6 Seige has seasons).

live service games are not necessarily MMOs

Anything that gets consistent updates is considered a "live service" game nowadays.

Pretty sure Capcom mentioned they considered SFV and MHW both "games as a service", it kinda has no hard meaning any more.

Fair enough, but you get the point.

Sounds like they're trying to make games that you will only stop playing once you are absolutely fucking bored of them

And if you come back a year later wanting to play again, it won't be the same game

If you come back 10 years later it will be as though it never existed

To me "live service" is less about balance patches/additional permanent content and more about limited time FOMO bullshit. Bonus live service points if an online connection is required.
