The publisher has hit back saying analyst Pachter’s ‘news’ that Assassin Creed 2 would be set during the 1700s is just complete rumour.
Ubi say they ”would prefer not to comment” on such speculation. Other than a confirmation from Ubisoft there hasn’t been any other information on its return.
”This is only a rumor and we would prefer not to comment on rumors,” said a Ubi rep.
Pachter had point out that the French Revolution would been a good period to set the new game in during the 1700s (18th century). It’s all just rumour though, perhaps Assassin’s Creed 2 is set a week next Thursday from where the game ended in the first? Only Ubi know.
