Event Overview

Assassin's Creed is a popular video game franchise known for its historical settings and action-adventure gameplay. The franchise is developed and published by Ubisoft. Recently, the game has gained attention for two contrasting reasons. Firstly, an educator has been using Assassin's Creed as an innovative tool to teach history, aiming to make the subject more engaging for students. This highlights the potential of video games in education. Conversely, Ubisoft, the parent company, is undergoing a significant restructuring. This has led to the cancellation of six games, including the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the closure of two studios, and the delay of seven other titles. This 'major reset' reflects challenges within Ubisoft and impacts the future of its game development pipeline, including potentially affecting future Assassin's Creed projects.
