Video games have mastered the art of modern storytelling, and as online casino players continue to demand more engaging and thought-provoking experiences, iGaming suppliers have begun to tap into the wider gaming industry to satisfy these player trends.
Games Global is one company looking to tap into the narrative techniques and dynamic mechanics offered through video games, as the firm recently announced it had gained the rights to produce four Assassin’s Creed-branded slot releases.
We spoke to Games Global CEO Walter Bugno following the deal, who provided insights into the company’s plans with the series, and how it aims to “stay true” to one of the world’s most popular game franchises.
SlotBeats: What advantages does Games Global expect from taking inspiration from the video game industry?
Walter Bugno: The video game industry has mastered player engagement, immersive storytelling and dynamic mechanics – elements that translate perfectly into modern online slots. By taking inspiration from Assassin’s Creed, we can introduce more interactive and narrative-driven experiences.
Additionally, incorporating high-quality visuals, recognisable characters and rewarding progression mechanics will elevate the slot gaming experience to new heights, attracting both seasoned slot players and fans of the franchise.
SB: How important is it that the four Assassin’s Creed slot games will be intertwined and narrative-based?
WB: Narrative-driven gameplay is a hallmark of the Assassin’s Creed series, and ensuring the four slot games are interconnected allows us to stay true to that legacy. This approach will provide a deeper, more engaging experience where players can follow a storyline across multiple releases, unlocking new elements and gameplay features as they progress.
Players will be able to see how the story unfolds while enjoying the excitement of the slot mechanics.
SB: What can the slot series do to align with the traditions of the game?
To stay true to the Assassin’s Creed franchise, the slot series will incorporate key traditions such as historical settings, iconic characters, and themes of stealth, strategy and adventure.
The gameplay will reflect the series’ signature mechanics, such as hidden symbols, free spins representing ‘missions’, and progressive features that mimic the way players level up in the video games. We aim to create a gaming experience that resonates with both fans of Assassin’s Creed and slot enthusiasts alike.
