There will be no new Assassin's Creed game next year as Ubisoft prepares to give the series a breather after Brotherhood.
Following hot on the heels of Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood is an extension of last year's Renaissance-set game, adding multiplayer and an all-new city to the adventures of Ezio. We played it before this year's E3 and walked away with smiles on our faces.
The third game proper – which will likely move the action on from Assassin's Creed II's setting – won't be coming next year according to comments made to Eurogamer by Ubisoft Montreal's Jean-Francois Boivin.
"Honestly, I think for the benefit of everybody – and business can come back and override everything I say because at the end of the day it's about selling games – I believe that this license needs a breather. You can't plough a field every year," he said, "Once every three years – or once every something – you have to let it breathe. You have to let the minerals back in. I think it's the same thing with any license, really."
The setting for the next game has been decided on, though Boivin wouldn't be pushed into giving any further details. "We know exactly where we're going," he said. "It would lack vision and blunt intelligence to wing it episode after episode. We have to have some vision with the story. We very much do; we know all that stuff."
