It seems this title was also internally delayed a few months, putting it a little later in 2023, but fans will likely learn more at the future ofACevent in September.
Ahead of then, though, fans ofAssassin’s Creedand some battle royale titles may get a little more to explore.

ThePUBG: Battlegrounds x Assassin’s Creedcrossover will take place between August 17 and September 22. During this time,PUBGplayers will be able to earn themed cosmetic rewards, which Krafton describes as two sets of costumes, two sets of bag skins, a parachute skin, an emote, a gun charm, and two sets of spray items. Fans will likely learn more specifics as the event gets closer, but there is one unique element to it. It seems the Templar cover Abstergo Industries is invadingPUBG’s Haven map. There will be themed resources and props on the map, with Abstergo taking over one of the main builds. In it, there will be a hidden Animus machine and a Leap of Faith ledge on the roof.
New State Mobile’s Assassin’s Creedevent will be taking place almost concurrently, beginning on August 18 and going until September 21. During this time, players will be able to obtain over 30 uniqueAssassin’s Creedcostumes, weapon skins, collaboration crates, and more. Specifically, Krafton reveals players will be able to earn anEzio skin, a Shay skin, an upgradeable SIG-MCX skin, two vehicle skins, and more. Furthermore, players will get daily log-in rewards and have the ability to unlock more by completing story missions. This ties around rumors that Templars and Assassins are on Erangel and Troi, for one reason or another.
For fans ofPUBGandNew State Mobile, this event may get players their needed dose ofAssassin’s Creed, at least until Ubisoft shows more at the event in September. Fingers crossed that fans' many hopes forAssassin’s Creed Riftprove legit.
