Ubisoft announced yesterday that it won’t release any Assassin’s Creed game in 2016 as it is currently “re-examining the Assassin’s Creed franchise.” Now this is the right thing to do as both Unity and Syndicate were not up to what players had expected from a next-gen Assassin’s Creed game.
This means that Ubisoft will take this year to evolve the game mechanics and to make sure it will deliver on the promise of Assassin’s Creed offering unique and memorable gameplay experience.
As Ubisoft claimed:
“This year, we also are stepping back and re-examining the Assassin’s Creed franchise. As a result, we’ve decided that there will not be a new Assassin’s Creed game in 2016. Since the release of Assassin’s Creed Unity, we’ve learned a lot based on your feedback. We’ve also updated our development processes and recommitted to making Assassin’s Creed a premier open-world franchise. We’re taking this year to evolve the game mechanics and to make sure we’re delivering on the promise of Assassin’s Creed offering unique and memorable gameplay experiences that make history everyone’s playground.”
And that is that everyone!

Black Flag was the best Assassin’s Creed to date.
Until they replicate that style again, I won’t bother with these games.
But it was barely an AC game. It only has the name and a few mechanical and design similarities. :v
Exactly. The best part about the game was being a pirate not an assassin. The story was horrendously bad, making no sense but the game was fun. I think for an assassins creed to work the story has to be improved drastically.
brotherhood all the way hands down…
brotherhood was godlike.
I don’t know, it was just AC 2 on steroids, which was fun, but not that exciting for me… I wanted something new, not the same old thing. Maybe it’s because I played it late – a couple of years after it came out
Is it safe to say that Syndicate bombed?
they have already released two ac games in 2016. one as little as two days ago.
it would be cool if they remaster AC II, Brotherhood and Revelations as one big huge game with the new lighting engine and sell it for like $10 dollars
I hope so mate
they need to bring back PoP
And hopefully its the continuation of the 2008 game or a new prince.
I just hope its the continuation of 2008 game or a brand new prince. I really hate how forgotten sands bloated the sands of time trilogy unnecessary, his story is over so let it be and bring on a new one.
Please release a godly optimized pc version of assassin creed and you can take my money
I’m so sad that there won’t be another assassins creed like syndicate 🙁 it was one of my favourites
This is a sarcasm post, right?
I just really enjoyed the settings and characters. 1, 2 and brotherhood are still the best 🙂
They’ve been so blind with revenue that they forgot all about player’s needs.
I guess this is as close as they will ever get to saying “Yup, we f*cked up this franchise pretty badly with forced yearly iterations”.
They got hit with the same painful lesson Activision is going through, but they had a severely different reaction.
Interesting.
they need to give us what we have always wanted a ac game set in feudal japan.that would save this franchise if they did that.thats the only era they havent touched.
