A new collaboration between GREE, Ubisoft and PlayNext was announced earlier today, which is set to see another smartphone/tablet instalment in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series. Titled Assassin’s Creed Memories, this newly announced game is considerably different from anything released in the franchise prior – setting out to merge card battle, RPG and strategy elements.
Rather than sticking with one time zone, players are left to use a “mobile Animus” device to traverse history in order to build a powerful guild, recruit famous allies and defeat rival players. Some of the listed time periods confirmed for initial release include ‘Renaissance Italy’ and ‘Colonial America. They hope that the gameplay will feature a “deep and engaging single-player experience” and that their 20 v. 20 multiplayer gameplay will also be a highlight. Given how many card games there already are in the smartphone market, it needs to be if Assassin’s Creed Memories will ultimately stand out from the crowd.
