Next Assassin’s Creed Breathes New Life into the franchise

This year’s installment to be “the biggest to date” says Ubisoft.

It's an unconfirmed certainty that Ubisoft will announced and deliver another Assassin's Creed game this holiday season. The yearly release is a must have for many gamers that anxiously wait for the opportunity to continue the adventure of Desmond and expand the story behind the game. With Assassin's Creed: Revelations having just launched, and tying up many of the loose ends from the Altair/Ezio storyline, the next game is set to once again breathe fresh life into the franchise.

In a recent interview, Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot talks about the unannounced title with MCV.

“Assassin’s Creed is an incredible franchise and there are a lot of expectations that it will continue to grow. We are pleased with our continued success so far: in the US, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations was a Top Ten title for the entire calendar year, which shows that the demand is definitely there,” Guillemot explained. "We're confident that the next installment of Assassin's Creed will be the biggest to date."

The next game is due to introduce at least one co-lead character for the first time since Ezio Auditore was bestowed on fans in 2009's Assassin's Creed 2. Who this character will be, and where his/her adventures will take Desmond this time around will likely be the key for Ubisoft to hit the high bar it has set for the game.

Want I would really like to see from this franchise is a higher empisise in using stealth and planning your attacks. Also a darker storyline instead of this tomb raider/uncharted adventure bs.

Assassins creed revelations sucked. Yearly installments are seriously killing this franchise; I love AC2. Such an incredible game. Brotherhood was okay, and revelations was recycled trash. Brotherhood was a completely unnessecary installment in the series. Revelations should have been brotherhood, seeing as it did absolutely nothing to progress the storyline forward in a serious manner, just added confusion and bs. Once again; I love 2. But I will not buy another game in AC until they seriously are showing they’ve taken time to progress the gameplay, graphics, and character development. I’m sick of the middle east, ezio, Altair, all that bs needs to change.
Serious refinements need to happen for me to not be appalled with the way this series has gone

That was a little harsh in reality I realized. AC revelations is a great game on a technical level. It Works well, no doubt about it. After playing all the games though I have become tired of this series. While it’s still good, it kit doesn’t meet my expectations. They have yet to surpass the level of quality 2 had, and that bothers me.
Technically the revelations was good , just not to such a fan of the series, it’s sad to see so many series become better as time goes on while AC seems to be perpetually stuck .

My money is on AC 3 at E3.

  This years installment I doubt will be AC3. I wish they would not release one this year, just wait and work on 3 for more than a year so some actual amount of ‘new life’ is present in the games. ATM they’re stale.

I love this series, easily in my top 5 ever. I would like to see them take this as far as the colonization of the american colonies with a continued game of the american revolution. That and find a way to work the Freemasons into it for a plot twist

Unconfirmed? I’m pretty sure they did confirmed that AC3 will be out this year right after AC:R launched. I don’t remember the exact quote, but a dev at Ubi said that AC3 will be out this year for sure because they want to tie the release date (sometime in 2012) with the whole 2012 part of the story.
