Like Clockwork, There's More Assassin’s Creed Next Year

Revelations may close up some plot lines, but we're hardly near "the end."

Ubisoft is promising some storyline resolution in Revelations, but it's hardly the end of the line.
Ubisoft is promising some storyline resolution in Revelations, but it's hardly the end of the line.

Ubisoft has made the enormously successful Assassin’s Creed franchise its Call of Duty by this point, able to put together well-received iterations of the series on an annual basis.

That will continue next year, as well, company CEO Yves Guillemot revealed on an investor call this morning.

Guillemot described next year’s entry as another “major” installment for Assassin’s Creed, but didn’t reveal any details on the game itself, teasing details would be available in the “coming months.”

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, which is supposed to bring an end to both Ezio and Altair’s storylines, is the fourth Assassin’s Creed game.

Expected... 
 
EDIT: WOW! Call me dumb, but that's the quest everyone talks about? I never cared for quests so i didn't knew. Man, now i feel bad for saying just one word.

It's a-me, Ezio!

I like him and all, but it's time to move on. Desmond's turn.

*tries to put a surprised face* wow, really?

Christian8son Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:28 a.m.
Yay?
Marzon Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:29 a.m.
I think we all expect Assassin's Creed 3 to be next year :O
RhombusOfTerroron Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:29 a.m.

It should be called Assassin's Creed 3. No subtitle, short name, new story, and I'll be fine with that.

Mystyr_Eon Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:29 a.m.

ugh, just give me a new Prince of Persia damnit!

buhssuhton Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:30 a.m.

as long as they don't pull activions, im fine

2Thumbson Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:30 a.m.

Assassins Creed 3 then... Or would they call it 5?

Ezekeilpurgeron Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:30 a.m.

E3 2012 we will finally hear news about Assassin's Creed 3, the third Assassin's Creed game!

Jack268on Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:31 a.m.
Yeah, Revelations ends the Ezio saga, and then they make a new saga with 3 and then they end it without milking the franchise beyond saving 
 
in a perfect world

Thought they might have had a bit more of a gap if they're developing a new protagonist and storyline. I guess if they left it any later it might be around the time they'd be starting developing for the next round of consoles though.
TooWalruson Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:33 a.m.

They haven't let me down so far. Eleven months is long enough for me to want more Assassin's Creed again. Looking forward to it.

Claudeon Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:33 a.m.
I loved the first two, but couldn't finish Brotherhood. I think I'm out.
SotoSakion Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:34 a.m.

Well they did say they want to end Desmond's story in the year that the game takes place in. It makes sense.. At least for 3 we will have a new time period and assassin.

Jayzillaon Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:34 a.m.

i was ready for all desmond outing in ac2. enough already!

JoeyRavn is online on Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:35 a.m.

I'm totally OK with this. More AC is always welcome in my book.

OneManXon Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:36 a.m.

I dunno... I LOVE Assassin's Creed, probably my favorite series of games in this gen of consoles. But I'm starting to feel a bit nervous. Revelation looks to be amazing, but i dunno if they should make, what I would assume to be, Assassin's Creed 3 so soon without giving the series a little break.

deadmanforkingon Nov. 8, 2011 at 11:36 a.m.

Great?

I guess they havent gone wrong so far...
