To provide an example of one element of traditional Assassin’s Creed games that will be moved across to Infinity, Côté points to codex entries. But the abstraction that we want people to have is is your Animus. “It's something that we're doing for the long term, not for the short term. “The way we tell the story will evolve with time,” says Côté. So if Infinity does feature a storyline, but is not a game, does that mean we won’t be controlling a modern-day protagonist any more? I ask if the meta storyline will be limited to things like audio logs and email chains. The implication, then, is that the main games will now be solely set in the past. “People who love just immersing themselves in the past will be able to jump right in there and never be interrupted or need to know who Desmond and Layla is,” says Côté. From now on, Infinity will be the home of the modern day or ‘meta’ storyline of the series. While Infinity is not technically a game, it will have elements that we’d associate with the Assassin’s Creed games. So I think it opens up a world of possibilities as to what we can do that go far beyond being just a launcher for our different games.” It's something that will evolve through time as our experiences grow and we can connect them more together. “The version of Infinity that we launch will not be the final version of Infinity. “So will not start out as a game,” says Côté. Côté notes, however, that we should expect Infinity to be more than just an Assassin’s Creed-themed launcher, and for it to evolve over time.
New entries in the series will be displayed as DNA memories rather than games. But rather than displaying games as a library-like collection, like in Steam or Ubisoft Connect, Infinity will wear the guise of an in-universe Animus interface. And obviously if you're in the Infinity hub playing Red, you'll see Hexe come and be available as a memory that you can explore.” So it is still the same games that we were building, but bridged together in the Infinity hub. “But the first thing that you'll see is the Infinity that makes it coherent. “You can absolutely buy as a box product,” confirms Côté, vice president executive producer of Assassin's Creed.
