US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity is in works, may have a long service plan like GTA Online

In its latest release, Assassin’s Creed lets you live your Vikings dreams with either a male or female protagonist. While Valhalla continues to woo explorers, developing studio Ubisoft is already working on the next title. At the moment, it is codenamed Infinity and will go for a difference approach than existing Assassin’s Creed titles, similar to GTA Online or Fortnite.

A recent report from Bloomberg suggests that Ubisoft wants the next Assassin’s Creed title to be a live service game, similar to the likes of GTA Online and Fortnite. The game is said to feature multiple connected settings that could have a different finish and may ever offer varying styles of gameplay. The game is still years away from an official release but it is said that Ubisoft is going ahead with a cross-studio and collaborative structure.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity in the works

“Whereas previous Assassin’s Creed games each unfolded in specific historical settings such as ancient Greece or Ptolemaic Egypt, Infinity will contain multiple settings with room to expand to others in the months and years following its debut, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a project under development. Individual games on the platform might look and feel different, but they will all be connected,” said the Bloomberg report.

Assasin's Creed Valhalla

This will be a major shift for the franchise since it inception in 2007. Assassin’s Creed has always come up with a sequel once every year, or in two years, with the latest release being Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. With Infinity, things could be changing vastly. A live service game could help Ubisoft from a financial perspective.

The live service format has been dominated by Rockstar Games and Epic in the last few years. Fortnite has seen massive revenue gains and to maintain that stream, it continues to come up with frequent content updates in the form of seasons. Grand Theft Auto Online has continued getting new content ever since its release in 2013. GTA Online is also going to get a PS5 and Xbox Series X optimized version.
