AC's app surfacing signals their intent. |
I don't see how this makes a 2019 release for AC more likely, only the opposite actually. So far all mobile games have released within months of an actual game. Sun/Moon released 5 months after PoGo, Mario Maker 3DS n Mario Run both in December, and FE:SoV 3 months after FE Heroes. Plus unlike previous mobile games, the AC one is meant to interact with the actual game, so releasing the actual game 2 years later would be really silly. I'd say a 2018 release for AC5 is pretty much guaranteed now, my only question is if it's a summer or holiday title.
