At GamesCom 2018, Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that there won’t be a new full-fledged Assassin’s Creed game in 2019. Instead, Ubisoft will keep supporting Assassin’s Creed Odyssey which releases on October 5th.
As Yves Guillemot said:
“On Assassin’s, we had a game and we have one this year, but we are not going to have a full-fledged Assassin’s next year. It’s just because the team were working separately, so we have two games now, one year after the other. But next year you’re not going to have a full-fledged one.”
Since there won’t be a new Assassin’s Creed game in 2019, our guess is that the next one will come out on next-gen consoles and PC (though there is a possibility that it will be a cross-gen title).
Still, and since Odyssey feels a lot like Origins, we hope that the next Assassin’s Creed game will be as different to Odyssey as Origins was to Syndicate!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

While i’m okay with this i wonder if it’s going to be a « half-fledged » full price AC game we’re going to get. Last pause they took was very beneficial! Let’a hope they cook something even better!
Well, AC is a franchise composed only by half-assed games, so, where are the news?
Let the franchise die already people, stop buying this crap.
So people who enjoy this franchise should stop buying it because you don’t? World doesn’t revolve around your opinions. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.
NO
Franchise is awesome, every game is awesome. Even let downs like III or Syndicate are still miles ahead than 99% of games.
AC: Syndicate was not a let down.
Was a bit for me (apart from London setting) but yes, still a good game.
I liked III as well but universally its got mixed feelings about it. I never understood why.
I love AC: Revelations as well, the weakest is clearly AC: Liberation HD which was a PS Vita port.
I think the overall narrative has slowed down a lot.
Good, the market will be fine . People dont need this s*** franchise.
Off topic guys :
***Console fanboys are begging for ray tracing already for next gen consoles.*** Lmfaoo
LMAO Where? even most PC gamers aren’t impressed with this tech.
I think most people were over-expecting. It will be a couple of generations of new GPUs before we see it fully implemented and then only for the high end gamers. For the console gamers it will be an even longer wait.
But as the saying goes “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”
On foruns of gamefaqs xbox fanboys are begging. Just search for it..
not gonna lie. ray tracing is nothing to be excited about for a loooong time after seeing the benchmarks
Are you sure? No AC for phones or another AC sidescroller?
Why ? pre-orders are down or can’t use the same assets 3times in a row ?
Next AC in 2020 will definitely be cross gen, if next gen does launch in 2020. It’s quite possible next consoles will launch in 2021.
Just Die already. F to your live game service
Why should it die?
So Watch Dogs 3 in 2019?
Pretty much yea.
UBI’s addicted to the a$$creed… I don’t know? a whole year and 4 months? that’s setting the bar quite high, they will definitely be in full blown withdrawal by then.
Good.
Good. 1 yr dev cycles = half assed games
I have to express some gratitude regarding this decision. This gives me a clean year to catch up since Black Flag. I’d taken a break in 2014 and now eager to get right back perhaps playing through until Origins then capping off with Odyssey, on the cusp of 2020 if possible.
They should remake AC2 with better graphics…
2019 sounds better already.
