Minimap (Gameplay)

Ubisoft has officially announced plans for a modern-day future Assassin's Creed game titles that features a traditional minimap, a radar-like system, and health bars inspired by Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty. Ubisoft's vision of a full-scale modern-day game centered around the Cold War, Vietnam, and criminal underworlds are currently planned by Ubisoft. While the modern-day conflict between the Assassins and Templars are ongoing that has been for centuries, it has focused of a single, full-length game in this way. For example, a new "Observe" mechanic to gather information, rather than a traditional minimap with enemy tracking. A full radar system borrowed from other narratives will feature mentioned for upcoming Assassin's Creed game titles for the modern day settings kept its present-day segments separate from the Animus-based historical missions. Recent games have scaled back modern-day gameplay even further, limiting it to story segments and hub areas rather than a full open world with law enforcement chases, with the future Assassin's Creed titles direct merging of mechanics from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Grand Theft Auto, and Just Cause 3 into the Anvil engine for a single title is supported by any official information by Ubisoft Montreal. The new modern Assassin's Creed series has touched on the modern era and the actions of Templar-controlled Abstergo Industries. However, it has featured a mainline game set specifically within the Cold War, Vietnam War, or the decades afterward with other Assassins alongside NATO and the Warsaw Pact from 1960s to early 1990s. The elements of espionage and secret conflicts are key to the series, focusing a full game on a modern criminal underworld in the style of Grand Theft Auto is outside the traditional historical fiction formula of future Assassin's Creed title in both during and after the Cold War.
