It seems Assassin’s Creed’s live-service future has pushed back a bit. Last summer, Ubisoft announced Assassin’s Creed Infinity, a new regularly-updated Destiny-like live service, with the assumption being that traditional releases like AC Valhalla and Odyssey would go by the wayside. Well, that may still happen, but according to a report from Bloomberg’s reliable Jason Schreier, another new standalone Assassin’s Creed game is coming in the meantime.

Per Schreier, this new game began as a major expansion to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, perhaps similar in scope to the upcoming Dawn of Ragnarok, but Ubisoft Montreal has now split it off as a standalone title. Apparently, the game will star the AC universe’s reincarnation of Loki, Basim, and will be a somewhat smaller-scale experience, casting aside the usual huge open-world for more linear stealth-based gameplay.
