Ubisoft coy on Assassin's Creed 3 2011 date

Ubisoft remains non-committal on reports that Assassin's Creed 3 will not be released in 2011.

This summer, Ubisoft associate producer Jean-Francois Boivin claimed the series' third outing will abandon the two-year release cycle and skip 2011, in order to give it a "breather".

Speaking to CVG, however, senior international brand manager Eric Gallant called the comments "personal opinion" - while keeping quiet on whether or not the statement's actually true.

I thought they said it would be 2012 for the game but if there is another game I would be happy it is one of my favourite games this gen.

tacosRcool4929d ago

Don't they know 2012 is the end of the world? So they should release it earlier!

MostJadedGamer4929d ago (Edited 4929d ago )

Lucreto the Associate Producer said that, and he just got smack down by the Senior International Brand Manager saying the Associate Producer is out of the loop, and the decisions are made with upper management above his head.

So basically the developers have no controle over the franchise.

erathaol4929d ago

Its not uncommon to loose control of your franchise, especially if its successful.

maxcer4929d ago

wait, so AC:Brotherhood isn't a true sequel?

Thecraft19894929d ago

No its just pointless cashin to the next one comes out.

Hades13374929d ago

How is it pointless? It carries on the main story, and it has a unique multiplayer mode.

Eamon4929d ago

Would you rather have them rename it as Assassin's Creed III just so you don't think it's a pointless cashin.

Because, apart from the title of the game, it's a direct sequel.

MetalGearBear 4929d ago

AC3 and Bioshock Infinte are great game in 2012.
just wonder, there another good games in 2012? just tell me.

Silentmerc3nary4929d ago

It's should be 2012, as that's the year the Assassin's Creed Trilogy takes place..

Eamon4929d ago

That's what I presumed as well.

Nate-Dog4929d ago

I just hope Ubi don't go spilling the beans on ACIII until a fair amount of time has elapsed on ACB's release.

When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.

The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.

Historic Eras that Video Games Need to Explore

Xfire writes "Worldbuilding is a crucial part of any story. It's not an easy task to create a believable setting with its own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations and then weave a story into the said setting. Luckily, storytellers and video game writers don't always need to create complex settings when we've got history books as thick as Big Chungus.

Historical eras make a fabulous setting for video games. They've already got the world-building nailed, complete with their own set of rules, customs, traditions and political affiliations. Honestly, I don't think I need to justify the fact that historical eras make an amazing setting for video games. If you don't believe me, just go ahead and play the Ghost of Tsushima or any of the Assassin's Creed games."

sourOG1133d ago

The first crusade would be pretty sweet. I’d probably enjoy any of those on your list if they were done respectfully. Like not some dork in Portland making a Russian Revolution game.

343_Guilty_Spark1131d ago

Benin Empire, Far East, Central America. Games are pretty biased toward Europe, North America, and the Middle East. There is a very big world out there.
