A Possible Break From Assassin’s Creed
Ubisoft has yet to confirm whether or not a main console entry to its flagship series, Assassin’s Creed, will release this year. Meanwhile, there have been reports floating about saying that the next major installment could see a huge setting change and may not land until some time next year. If this is true, it could be a major boon for the company.
Let’s be clear, Ubisoft is not the only company out there to milk the hell out of a franchise, all of the big players do it. It’s a common practice, but one that may need a company to take a step back and refocus every now and then. Assassin’s Creed has had many ups and downs, with quality fluctuating between titles. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate was extremely solid and mixed things up to great success, but the developers may now see the need for even more innovation if they are to keep fans engaged.
Continuing the Assassin’s Creed line with a high-quality entry would be a smart move and instill a renewed faith in Ubisoft’s fans.
