Rumor: New Assassin's Creed Game Is Taking Inspiration from Fall Guys

Key Takeaways

  • According to a leaker, Ubisoft may be developing a multiplayer Assassin’s Creed game, codenamed Invictus, that’s inspired by Fall Guys.
  • The game could feature a round-based structure for up to sixteen players, with various gameplay styles like team deathmatch and races.
  • Rumored character selection includes Ezio Auditore and Cesare Borgia, with maps ranging from Baghdad to Pompeii.

As a long-time fan of the Assassin’s Creed series who has spent countless hours running through medieval cities and exploring historical landscapes, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and skepticism upon hearing the rumors about a multiplayer version of the game inspired by Fall Guys.

A recent unconfirmed report hints at a possible influence from the popular party game Fall Guys for an upcoming Assassin’s Creed title, currently known only by its codename, Assassin’s Creed Invictus. Ubisoft has thus far kept specific details about this game under wraps, apart from revealing that it will feature a multiplayer aspect.

Being a die-hard fan of the legendary video game franchise, Assassin’s Creed, I can fully understand why Ubisoft, its proud publisher, is putting so much weight on its continued triumph. It’s only natural for them to experiment with new ideas to keep us fans engaged, like the upcoming multiplayer-centric game, Assassin’s Creed Invictus. Although blockbusters such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows have already left a lasting impression, the specifics about other projects in development remain shrouded in mystery for now.

If the rumors from Twitter user @xj0nathan turn out to be accurate, then it could mean some alterations for Assassin’s Creed Invictus. According to j0nathan’s tweets in French, there seems to be inspiration drawn from Mediatonic’s hit multiplayer game, Fall Guys. While the chaotic game-show style of Fall Guys may not seem related to Assassin’s Creed at first glance, j0nathan’s posts hint that Ubisoft is taking inspiration more in terms of structure and gameplay flow rather than visual elements.

Assassin’s Creed Invictus Multiplayer Game Reportedly Inspired by Fall Guys

As per the report, the upcoming game titled Assassin’s Creed Invictus is expected to follow a similar structure to that of Fall Guys, featuring multiple rounds with up to sixteen players competing. Each round in a typical Fall Guys session gradually eliminates most players, leading to a more intense final round between a few competitors to determine the ultimate winner. The gameplay styles for each round in Assassin’s Creed Invictus might include team deathmatches, free-for-all fights, and races to reach various checkpoints on the map, as hinted by J0nathan’s posts. Contrary to speculations of a game show-like format, the tone and aesthetic of Assassin’s Creed would likely prevent Invictus from adopting such an approach. Instead, it may draw inspiration from Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood‘s multiplayer mode, where players could act as Templar agents using the Animus machine to learn and unlock abilities from their genetic lineage.

Additionally, J0nathan asserted that gamers can opt for diverse characters hailing from the Assassin’s Creed series, like Ezio Auditore, who is widely recognized as the most impactful character in the history of Assassin’s Creed. This roster will also feature Ezio’s arch-rival, Cesare Borgia, a significant adversary in Assassin’s Creed 2. The game environments will be drawn from different installments as well, such as Baghdad from Mirage, islands from Black Flag, and even the fated city of Pompeii.

Since Ubisoft hasn’t officially disclosed any specific details about the game known as Assassin’s Creed Invictus, like its actual title, these rumors should be considered with a touch of skepticism. However, if they turn out to be accurate, they could potentially offer an intriguing multiplayer experience within the popular Assassin’s Creed series.
