Forums - Gaming Discussion - Ubisoft confirms: no new Assassin's Creed in 2016

It’s an exciting time for Assassin’s Creed.

We’re only a few months removed from the debut of Jacob and Evie Frye, the stars of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. We’re proud of the talented team in Quebec City, and all of our studios around that world that took part in bringing the Victorian London adventures of our twin Assassins to life. We truly hope you enjoy playing Assassin’s Creed Syndicate as much as our studios enjoyed making it.

Also, we recently unveiled the first images of Academy Award nominee Michael Fassbender in action as our lead Assassin in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie that hits theaters on December 21, 2016. Having already visited the set, we can’t begin to describe how surreal and exciting it is to walk the real-world halls of Abstergo, or see the intricate replicas of Assassin weaponry. We have an outstanding cast and crew that want to honor the rich lore of Assassin’s Creed and bring a fresh perspective to the ongoing battle between Assassins and Templars that’s fit for the big screen.

This year, we also are stepping back and re-examining the Assassin’s Creed franchise. As a result, we’ve decided that there will not be a new Assassin’s Creed game in 2016. Since the release of Assassin’s Creed Unity, we’ve learned a lot based on your feedback. We’ve also updated our development processes and recommitted to making Assassin’s Creed a premier open-world franchise. We’re taking this year to evolve the game mechanics and to make sure we’re delivering on the promise of Assassin’s Creed offering unique and memorable gameplay experiences that make history everyone’s playground.

We’ll have more to share on all of the above soon. In the meantime, we want to say thank you to our millions of fans around the world for your continued support.

Just need Activision to state no Call of Duty and the world would implode.

Then EA says no new FIFA and Madden this year, and the Sun goes supernova.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

The market has spoken, Ubisoft really have no option if they want to keep the franchise alive, The decline is too big to ignore. As for Call of Duty and Fifa. They apparently still sell as good as ever, so they will stay as they are now until we vote with our money.



They probably mean no new mainline holiday title. Cause they're in the process of releasing that Chronicles spin-off thing.

Thank god. I'd be ok with Watch_Dogs 2 filling the void.



Gives them plenty of room in the holidays to push Watch Dogs 2 instead.

They really had no options; sales were shrinking on a yearly basis. Well, at least now the game will probably see an increase on quality and this will be good for us all.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

awesome for all: More time for Persona 5 (and FF15) : )

PS: AC is boring for me. i like AC2 and 1 was okay, but then... zZz (my personally opinion)



Hopefully whenever the next game in the series comes out, it doesn't end up being a glitchy mess.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
