Previously, Bloomberg had revealed that the protagonist of Assassin's Creed: Rift was the Master Assassin Bassim. Depending on the date and location of the revelations, there will undoubtedly be many content related to the origin of the Brotherhood of Assassins. The game is based in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, and other important Middle Eastern cities may also be possible. It is well known that Bassim was born and raised in Baghdad and became one of the most respected members of the Invisible. The Invisible is an ancient organization that later became known as the Brotherhood of Assassins.
One of the most peculiar and important aspects of Basim in Assassin's Creed: Temple of Heroes is that he is the human reincarnation of The Isu Loki. As he grew older, he slowly discovered this through awakened memories, which was certainly a key point in his conflict and development in the Assassin's Creed: Rift story. Loki's personality may have a potential impact on the Invisible Organization.
The Invisible is an ancient organization founded in 47 BC by Bayek, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed: Origins. The Invisible were founded to protect people's freedom, and they skillfully eradicated corruption by any means necessary. Loyal fans of the series will notice the stark similarities between these ideas and the creed of the Assassin Brotherhood.
Considering that the story of Assassin's Creed: Rift must be set before Assassin's Creed: The House of Heroes (in which Bazim was hung on a world tree by Evol for more than a thousand years in the finale of the Temple of Heroes), it can be assumed that the setting is set around 860 AD. Loki's will influenced Bassimm's journey to England, but in the new book it should be clear how he betrayed the Organization and began his long journey.
If Loki's personality awakening was not a catalyst for the decline of the Invisible, then the Templars may have been the main reason for the introduction in the new work. As a sworn enemy and antagonist of the Assassin Brotherhood, the earliest remnants of the Templars also originated in ancient Egypt. Fans were interested in assassin-templar clashes in Assassin's Creed, and the chaotic and catastrophic events could easily be the main source of conflict in Assassin's Creed: Rift, before the Invisible fled to Persia, forming the iconic Brotherhood.
According to industry insider Tom Henderson, Assassin's Creed: Rift will be released in the first half of 2022.
