A new report about "Assassin's Creed" has surfaced on Tuesday saying that the popular video game will feature a new setting in 2017. It was said that game publisher Square Enix won't release a new entry to the game, a report from iDigital Times said.
According to the report, the speculation that "Assassin's Creed" will eventually skip the 2016 was sourced from Autoomobile. It was said that a user has revealed that Ubisoft has released a detail about the game. However, this speculation should be taken with a grain of salt as the developer has yet to issue an official statement to confirm whether there will no new game that will be released this 2016.
"Egypt. There won't be an AC in 2016. You may screencap this and refer to it when nothing is shown in E3 2016. You'll have to wait until 2017 for it. The reason: It will be a complete revamp of the series. The game is going for a Witcher feel, with player progression, freeform combat system. Horse is back, and boats too. It s made by the Black Flag team. You may leave any question you want answered," a leaked statement from Autoomobile said.
"There's much regarding Ubisoft's actions in recent memory that is in line with a two-year release schedule for future Assassin's Creed games. The large push in 2015 and going into 2016 for Assassin's Creed Chronicles, the trio of side-scrolling games set in China, India and Russia, now makes a lot more sense considering the absence of a major release for 2016. Ubisoft also registered a URL for assassinscreedcollection.com, perhaps implying a remastered collection will release during the holidays. If Ubisoft was going to skip 2016, they'd be wise fill it with other Assassin's Creed content in order to maintain brand recognition. All that aside, an extra year of development offers Ubisoft the opportunity to rebuild positivity around Assassin's Creed. Even when a solid installment in the franchise like Syndicate gets released," Gamerant said.
