Last month, Ubisoft confirmed it was working on 'Assassin's Creed Infinity'.

The video game company admitted via its website that it's actively working on the project, having formed a new team to develop the idea.

A statement from Ubisoft explained: "Joint production efforts on 'Assassin’s Creed Infinity' will be headed up by Ubisoft Montreal’s Julien Laferriere who has been named senior producer, overseeing production at both studios.

"Laferriere brings along extensive experience with the franchise, having worked on 'Assassin’s Creed' since 2007 before most recently becoming producer on 'Assassin’s Creed Valhalla'.

"Creative leads for 'Assassin’s Creed Infinity' will be a cross-studio collaboration, as well. Jonathan Dumont and Clint Hocking will share leadership as creative directors, overseeing their respective teams at Ubisoft Quebec and Ubisoft Montreal. Dumont was previously world director on 'Assassin’s Creed Syndicate' at Ubisoft Quebec before becoming creative director on 'Assassin’s Creed Odyssey'."
