According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, Ubisoft plans to separate a large DLC from Assassin's Creed: The Temple of Heroes and make it a new work in the Assassin's Creed series, code-named Assassin's Creed Rift.
The protagonist of Assassin's Creed: Rift will be Basim, who is also a character controlled by the player in the modern part after completing the main line of Assassin's Creed: Temple of Heroes. Unlike the Mythological Trilogy, the game will be smaller in size, similar to Assassin's Creed: Mutiny (shorter process). Instead of using an open-world setting, more emphasis is placed on linear stealth stealth gameplay on small and medium-sized maps.

Bloomberg also reported on the reasons for turning DLC into an independent new game, Ubisoft is worried that the current game release plan has a large gap, "Black Sails", "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake", "Beyond Good and Evil 2" and other games have been postponed, and "Assassin's Creed: Infinity" can not be released for the time being. It is worth mentioning that Ubisoft is currently facing various scandals, new work delays, and a large number of brain drains.
Assassin's Creed: Rift is expected to be available in late 2022 or early 2023. There have been more reliable rumors that Assassin's Creed: Valiant will update 3 large DLCs in 2022. In addition to the "dawn of doom" that went online in March and the "rift" that turned into a separate game, a new DLC may be launched in the second half of the year. Foreign media Outlet also confirmed this information through their informant, adding that the main story of the game will take place in Baghdad. The secrecy of Ubisoft games is relatively less strict, so the credibility of the revelation is higher, please refer to the official announcement of Ubisoft.
