Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot claims that this year’s Assassin’s Creed game will be the biggest one in the series so far.
Talking with MCV, Guillemot is confident that the next title will calm any feelings that annual instalments in the series are starting to dilute the franchise. It’s believed that Ezio Auditore will not be the main protagonist in the next game, but a new, fresh, hero will take his place.
”Assassin’s Creed is an incredible franchise and there are a lot of expectations that it will continue to grow. We are pleased with our continued success so far: in the US, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations was a Top Ten title for the entire calendar year, which shows that the demand is definitely there,” said Guillemot.
”We think that delivering regular instalments and expanding the brand to other platforms will continue to satisfy the demand, while at the same time attracting new fans.
“And we’re confident that the next instalment of Assassin’s Creed will be the biggest to date.”
Ubisoft’s next Assassin’s Creed game will launch for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC during Christmas 2012.
