Ubisoft Confirm That Assassin's Creed Is Taking The Year Off

Assassin's Creed Syndicate

We heard a report a couple weeks back from Kotaku that Assassin's Creed might finally be listening to fans and taking the year off.

Well, as it has turned out, that is the case. Ubisoft confirmed today that 2016 will be Assassin's Creed-less. This was confirmed on the Ubiblog, where the publisher said:

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.

Of course, the franchise will still very much be at the forefront of our minds with the Michael Fassbender led movie coming in hot.

I really hope this does let the franchise breathe properly, at least where the games are concerned though. I always feel on the cusp of really loving the franchise, so perhaps time away will make the heart keen… perhaps.
