Update: Eurogamer has corroborated the original Bloomberg report, while also adding that it has heard of "early plans" for the game to include Baghdad as a location.
Original Story: Ubisoft is working to further expand Assassin's Creed with 'Infinity', its upcoming "evolving" project. However, a report has now surfaced, detailing a smaller-scale AC game intended to plug the gap before Infinity's release.
The slimmer Assassin's Creed title, codenamed 'Rift', was originally another Valhalla expansion, according to Bloomberg. Interestingly, the report also says Rift won't be a huge open-world role playing game like recent Assassin's Creed games.
Instead, the title will reportedly focus "more on stealth gameplay" which is likely music to the ears of old school AC fans. Anonymous Ubisoft employees disclosed the information with Bloomberg, and they say the game will star Valhalla character Basim.
That's about all we know on the project so far. However, there is a projected release window, as Rift seems to exist because Infinity is taking some time to develop. Codename Rift will reportedly launch later this year, or in 2023.
How do you feel about a new, smaller-scale Assassin's Creed game? Let us know below.

Whatever guy suggested that the next Assassin's Creed game should do sneaky assassin's stuff should get a raise.
I could care less what the give me... Assassins Creed is my favorite series of all time and i will play them all. Just hoping Infinity isn't some huge MMO game because i hate online games and multiplayer games. Ok, have a great day people!
I used to love this series, sadly I don’t consider the last 3 entries “Assassins Creed” games. They are just open world fantasy games with grindy exploration.
I am crossing my fingers this smaller entry goes back to pre-Origins formula.
I might be in the minority here but I actually found the older ac games boring. Odyssey and valhalla I loved and played fully. The older ones I could never finish. So no big open world is a skip for me
I don't believe any rumor that talks of an Assassin's Creed game with a focus on stealth and assassination. Sounds as likely as a 4k Switch Pro!
Who would make a game called "Assassin's Creed" a stealth game? From the title alone I expect howitzers and chainguns. And aliens. Has to have aliens.
Ubisoft should just buy Jade Raymond already.
@OliverOwen I’m with you - I have yet to play Rogue or Syndicate but have put more hours in AC then any other series by far. I don’t know what it is but I just love them.
LOL. Other games getting more detailed and bigger with the new generation's faster drives.
AC, let's go smaller.
Hmmmmmmm.
@k3lt0n Its the story, the feeling that i am doing something big on a big scale. The action, stealth and graphics. It's traveling through a huge open world to find collectibles and secrets and see the land they created. It is an escape and is brilliant. I will never stop playing these games because of how fantastic they are!
