Ubisoft: No New Assassin's Creed Game in 2019

Assassin ’s Creedis taking ( another ) break in 2019 . Since the release ofAssassin ’s Creed IIin 2009 , Ubisoft ’s historical blinking enfranchisement has seen a release of a major secret plan every twelvemonth . The one exception is withAssassin ’s Creed Origins . The onlyCreedtitles released betweenAssassin ’s Creed Syndicatein 2015 andOriginsin 2017 were side - scroll spinoffs .

It seemed like the release ofOriginssignaled a new start toAssassin ’s Creed , not only in terms of gameplay but also release schedule . Ubisoft surprised almost everyone byunveilingAssassin ’s Creed Odysseyat E3 2018 and set it for press release less than a yr afterOrigins . Odyssey , it turns out , is the exception not the prescript . After the Greek epic is release , fans should n’t expect a newAssassin ’s Creeduntil 2020 .

According toGamespot , who interview Ubisoft ’s chief executive officer Yves Guillemot at Gamescom 2018,Assassin ’s Creed Odysseyis the last plot for a year in the dealership . Odysseyis only come out so closely toOriginsbecause the two game were develop at the same meter . For the next entryway , a bigger break ( and more developing time ) will be required . This does n’t signify that there will be no newAssassin ’s Creedcontent afterOdyssey . Guillemot did n’t sustain if any spinoff titles would get . However , he did explain thatOdysseywould be supported with young content long after its button :

What you ’ll have is lots of content come on [ Assassin ’s Creed Odyssey ] . The squad really want to give , on a veritable basis , some new possibility for free rein , so when you get [ Odyssey ] this yr , you ’re going to get in for a twosome of years , really .

Assassin ’s Creed Odysseyhas an announced time of year pass for next DLC , so it comes as no surprisal that Ubisoft is planning more content for the deed of conveyance . There ’s a hazard though thatOdyssey ’s season qualifying could put out for longer than the averageAssassin ’s Creedtitle . Assassin ’s Creed Origins ' time of year fling involved two rather lengthy expansions and some ornamental items , all of which released in former 2018 . If there ’s no newAssassin ’s Creeduntil 2020,Odysseycould be receiving give ( and free ) expansions until former 2020 to tie fans over . Guillemot certainly seems to indicate that theory with his tease thatOdysseyshould last " a couple of years . "

However , this is wear that Ubisoft ’s chief executive officer is being entirely true . Prior to theleak ( and reveal ) ofAssassin ’s Creed Odyssey , Guillemot suggest thatOriginswould be Ubisoft ’s soleAssassin ’s Creedfocus in 2018 . Back in February 2018 , on an earnings call , Guillemot claimed that Ubisoft was justconcentrating onAssassin ’s Creed Originsand produce a " few other DLCs " for it . This call happened beforeOrigins ' gratuitous update of the " Discovery Tour " and its paid elaboration , " Curse of the Pharaohs " were usable . Technically , Guillemot was n’t lying about unexampled DLCs , and the chief operating officer never explicitly order that there would n’t be a newAssassin ’s Creedgame in 2018 , as he is currently about 2019 . It was just inculpate .

Assassin ’s Creedtaking a break afterOdysseyis in all probability best for the serial publication . The year - long break not only prevents franchise tiredness , but also improves the chance of the individual game being of higher quality . Assassin ’s Creed Originswas a huge improvementover old claim . A gravid factor in that timber was the extended maturation time thatOriginsreceived . Hopefully , Odysseywill be of a similar bore , but the longer the follow - up is in ontogenesis , the better .
