Journalist Jeff Grubb has claimed that Assassin’s Creed Infinity, the next major instalment in Ubisoft’s stab-happy franchise, will feature two main settings at launch.
Speaking on the latest Game Mess Mornings podcast on Giant Bomb, Grubb claimed that one of the settings is likely to be unveiled during the planned Assassin’s Creed event in September. He reiterated that that Infinity will feature a Japanese backdrop, where players assume command of a ninja.
Grubb’s comments follow on from previous reports that Assassin’s Creed Infinity will boast multiple locations, with the Japanese location known as Project Red.
