Last year, Ubisoft announced Assassin's Creed Infinity, a live-service take on its mega-popular Assassin's Creed franchise that will offer new locations, characters, and more as time goes on. Ubisoft has yet to show off Assassin's Creed Infinity gameplay, but a new concept video imagines what the game would look like if it featured a Persian setting and if it were built using the powerful Unreal Engine 5.

The video, created by YouTube channel TeaserPlay, shows an assassin exploring a strike Persian landscape. It features a large walled-in city, vast open landscapes, ancient ruins, a desert oasis, and more. Not much is shown in terms of how the game would play, but it would presumably take its cues from other Assassin's Creed games, with a focus on parkour, stealth-action, and the like. The video chose Persia/Iran as its setting because that is apparently one of the locations rumored for Assassin's Creed Infinity.
