Bloomberg was first to report on the supposed existence of this game, which is reportedly codenamed Rift, crediting the information to development sources. The game will reportedly be set in Baghdad, at least in part. Eurogamer’s own sources said this is a real project as well.

Now Playing: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Review
According to Bloomberg’s report, Ubisoft originally conceived of this rumored project as an expansion for Valhalla. However, it’s now being prepared for release as a standalone game, the report said.
Rift, or whatever the game ends up being called if it is indeed real, will not feature the type of gigantic open worlds that the franchise is known for, according to the report. Instead, it will be smaller in scope and focus on stealth gameplay, the report said.
This new project, should it be real, is separate from Ubisoft’s ambitious new project, Assassin’s Creed Infinity, which is confirmed to be in development but doesn’t have any concrete information yet.
A spokesperson for Ubisoft told Bloomberg that the company does not comment on rumors or speculation. A spokesperson for Ubisoft sent the following statement to GameSpot:
“Ubisoft has one of the strongest in-house creative teams that are developing incredible experiences for our players. We have a solid and exciting lineup of titles in our pipeline, both established brands with new story twists and features, and brand new IPs that will continue to change the landscape of today’s video games. We don’t comment or engage on rumors or speculation as they do a disservice to our development teams and community.”
