Ubisoft may be developing a modern-day Assassin's Creed game focusing on the conflict between Assassins and Templars in a world with numerous cities, potentially inspired by the open-world gameplay of Grand Theft Auto and likely to set in the present or near future, featuring a contemporary Assassin's Creed narrative. This could involve the conflict between the Assassins and Templars along with Abstergo, but within a modern-day setting with its own unique challenges and opportunities would feature numerous cities from around the globe, each with its own distinct characters, lore, and gameplay opportunities. This would allow for diverse environments and a broader scope for the Assassin's Creed story. Integrating vehicles, a common element in GTA, would require balancing it with the Assassin's Creed focus on stealth and hand-to-hand combat as well as climbing would be more challenging in a modern city with glass skyscrapers and other obstacles. The focus might shift to using urban elements like bridges, tunnels, and transportation systems for traversal and would need to incorporate new methods beyond traditional climbing, such as using electronic devices to spy on targets, blending in with crowds, or utilizing urban infrastructure for cover. .
