Previously the studio has said they need to ”find the right time period and place” for the next instalment, and even hinted at a female lead?
”The AC game referenced”, said a Ubi rep speaking to VG247, ”is not tied to the AC2 DLC.” The situation has got a little confusing because reports are coming out that one such game is a ”follow-up” to ACII, where gamers revive ”the same hero, which is Ezio”.
”We have a new Assassin’s Creed that we expect will be a very high quality product that as well as an offline component will have a multiplayer component,” said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, reports CVG.
”It is the same studios because it’s not only one studio creating the game, but an association of studios and they are working together to make it happen.”
This is where a fellow Ubi chipped in: ”The game will take place with the same hero, which is Ezio, and will follow-up the story that took place in Assassin’s Creed 2.” So to clarify a little, we’ll be getting AC2 DLC, an AC2 spin-off and AC3? Yep it seems that way.
Multiplayer has also been pegged for the franchise, as Ubi follow suit with other publishers and realise that online play helps keep replayability. Sound good to you?
