Don’t count on a “fully-fledged” Assassin’s Creed to be launched subsequent 12 months.
Ubisoft doesn’t plan to launch model new Assassin’s Creed in 2019. Instead, it’s choosing loads of extra content material to maintain gamers busy with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Speaking with Gamespot at gamescom 2018 this week, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said the explanation for skipping 2019 was as a result of having two games launched back-to-back.
“We are not going to have a full-fledged Assassin’s next year,” stated Guillemot. “It’s just because the team were working separately, [that] we have two games now, one year after the other. But next year you’re not going to have a fully fledged one.”
Guillemot stated as an alternative of a brand new game or spin-offs, Odyssey will see extra content material launched regularly.
“When you get [Odyssey] this year, you’re going to get in for a couple of years, actually,” he stated.
Ubisoft stated in 2016 it was stepping again from annual releases and re-examining the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
Doing so would offer the agency’s studios with extra growth time, and loads of room for improvements instead of trying to push a new entry out on a yearly foundation.
Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey will launch October 5 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
