Ubisoft is one of the biggest game publishers. They have given players some of the most memorable games in the industry, such as Assassin’s Creed. However, future Ubisoft games may be less scripted, and players’ decisions will be vital!
Ubisoft games will be less heavily scripted!
Ubisoft has released a lot of games with very memorable stories. However, that may change soon, as the company has decided that its games in the future will be less narrative. In a recent interview, Ubisoft’s chief creative officer, Serge Hascoet, has shared this very sentiment. He wanted the players to have more freedom in creating moments inside game, and can make their choices.
Basically, the games will still have a story, but players will have more of an input as how the game goes. We can see the early steps of this in recent releases, such as Watch Dogs and Far Cry. The more freedom the players has, the more unexpected events will occur, said Hascoet. The company simply wants players to fully express themselves, create those moments, and share them with friends. That’s what the company wants to achieve in future installments.
Hascoet also revealed that the next game to fully embrace this mentality will be the next game in the Assassin’s Creed series. The game has been designed in such a way that, every action the players do will not be short-term, but will have lasting impact. Basically, their decisions can change the outcome. Putting it like this, we can expect multiple endings to the game based on our in-game actions. It remains to be seen whether this change of direction will benefit the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and the company as a whole.
