Game Mess Mornings 09/12/2022

It sounds like AC Infinity is kind of a Halo Waypoint style hub. They were very specific about not calling it a game so I'm not expecting any 3D avatar stuff but maybe. Codename Red sounds like it'll still be in the same vein as the Origin, Odyssey, Valhalla since they are calling it an "Open-World RPG". But their claiming the Clint Hocking game, Project Hexe, is not an RPG and will be very different.

So that says to me they won't have a unified mechanical design to Infinity. It'll probably launch different executables under the hood. I think the reason that Mirage isn't part of Infinity is because it's not ready yet. Mirage is a Valhalla DLC they spun off into a standalone, so it's not really meant to be the next step in what they are calling Phase 3 of the franchise.
