We are only a few days away from a trip back in time to a more innocent day, when there was no such thing as credit card debt and words like “recession” were reserved for economic scholars alone. Of course, dysentery was a major issue and the lack of citrus could kill you, plus the average life span was about 33 years, but those annoying little facts just get in the way of our admiration for the founding of this great nation.

For the fifth time on consoles, Ubisoft is back with a new Assassin’s Creed game, this one to be set in Revolutionary America. Seen through the eyes of the half-Mohawk, Half-English assassin Connor Kenway, the ancient battle between the Templars and the Assassins continues as forces from both sides are attempting to influence the New World.

Assassin's Creed Infinity is starting to sound like the biggest game of all time, but news on the front has taken a backseat as of late. Ubisoft seems more focused on Skull and Bones, due out November 8, 2022.  That said, here's everything we know about Assassin's Creed Infinity, including release date, gameplay, multiplayer, and more.
