After all, the game is from Ubisoft Quebec, directed by Assassin’s Creed Odysseywill launch third era from the saga. The first adventures, platformers and stealth, completed Assassin’s Creed Syndicateand the second is a trilogy composed Origin of Assassin’s Creed, Odyssey And Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Third era A.S. this is the one that will start Assassin’s Creed: Infinitydescribed as center from where one can access the various impressions of the saga, and which will begin with Codename REDname that will build something new on established bases through the previous two stages.
