@kirkyx: I'm fine with Odyssey, but let that studio iterate on where that gameplay is going for the series. Having other studios crib each others work just makes the games seem like half steps.
Assassin's Creed should open up like the Warhammer series. Make an RTS or City Builder, justified by Abstergo trying to find some first civilization ruins based off a city planner's or army movement.
If they're gonna do the two studios thing, why make (roughly) the exact same game? Let one do the Origins action combat, and have the other do something completely different. Like Assassin's Creed + Yakuza set during the Gangs of New York era.
