Presumably the leaked one.

VG247 said:
Assassin’s Creed Unity is just one game in the series hitting this fall, according to what Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told investorss today.

The rumored working title at the moment is Assassin’s Creed Comet per earlier reports and in the works to launch alongside Unity on last-gen. It will purportedly put players in the boots of a Templar named Shay.

Ubisoft has yet to confirm the name of the title, but Guillemot said it will release this fall on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Comet?

Coldnoodle · May 16, 2014

Welp.

That's the end of the Wii U Assassins Creed experiment.

Volotaire · May 16, 2014

Oh I forgot about this. I wonder if it will still be set in France, or the revolutionary period.

Rubixcuba · May 16, 2014

There goes Ubisoft support on Wii U then

Illusive_Juan · May 16, 2014

They should call it Assassins Creed: Overload.

Rumored the Americas and New York, presumably reusing as much from 3 as possible.

dakun · May 16, 2014

will wait for the inevitable "HD Edition" for PS4/Xbox One spring 2015.. would be a shocker if they don't do this.

meptrep · May 16, 2014

Wow, two titles in a single year. I still find it odd that CoD and other similar yearly series get criticized so much more than Assassin's Creed ever does.

vypek · May 16, 2014

I still never played Assassin's Creed 4. That might be the last one I play if I ever bother to buy it. At this pace, I guess I'm done with the franchise. Didn't like the annual releases and multiple a year is definitely not going to fly for me personally.

brandonh83 · May 16, 2014

I hope it's actually called Assassin's Creed: Comet.

Geek · May 16, 2014

"Confirmed" is a bit of a stretch based on Yves' comments during the call today...

... but c'mon. We all know it's coming.

I'll be honest, I would buy a game featuring Haytham, even if it just re-used ACIII assets and environments.

clutch.as.it.gets. · May 16, 2014

AssCreed everywhere and anywhere. Once i really like the franchise but its just too much now.

Crossing Eden · May 16, 2014

I wanna complain about this but I gotta be honest I just can't resist them at this point. I try to downplay them and poke at the flaws before release, but as soon as I hold the game disc in my hand and start playing I just become giddy with overflowing joy. This series is my favorite series. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and assume that this one will be the one that reuses the anvil next engine assets like Connor's climbing animations and double counters. Pretty sure Unity is the one to REALLY look out for when it comes to revitalizing the series.

You must be new here.

_woLf · May 16, 2014

It's funny because we all thought it couldn't get worse than a yearly release for this series. Ubisoft finding ways to crank up the terrible everywhere they can.

Dedication Through Light · May 16, 2014

Over a hundred dollars for the assassins creed experience this year and if both have the typical dlc stories

That assassins creed encyclopedia got outdated fast.

Aesius · May 16, 2014

If it's as good as Black Flag, bring it on.

I know it won't be, though.

FourMyle · May 16, 2014

One of the worst things to happen to gaming. Assassin's Creed is everything wrong with video games today wrapped up in a broken fucking mess of a package.

It's set on the Atlantic Ocean. http://kotaku.com/sources-assassins-creed-comet-will-let-you-play-as-a-t-1552929846

Isn't it more like a spin off though?

It has to do with the transition of a new generation. I'm glad they are going this route, instead of just making one game for all systems. One game for the weaker console, one game for the stronger consoles. I dont see nothing wrong here.

Hope to see the same for other series until the previous gen dies off.

Nope. GAF castrates ubi pretty harshly on this since AC3.

What I don't understand is how pokemon goes unscathed.

The versions have been yearly released since 2009.

Quick somebody find the Wii U Window image.

Oh thanks. Ah so it will be partly sailing focused. Wow that's quite a disparity between this game and the next gen version. It's extraordinary how they can produce these games at this rate.

Aruhamel · May 16, 2014

GameBlog's report claims that Comet will take place in and around 1758; that it will star a sailor named Shay who betrays the captain of his ship; and that it's set on the Atlantic Ocean. Comet, GameBlog says, will continue the nautical theme established in last year's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

They should rename the series to 'Pirate's Creed' already.

theWB27 · May 16, 2014

If I had a last gen system still I'd pick up both versions. Favorite series. There are plenty of other games out there if I need something fresh....i don't get the complaints really.

John Harker · May 16, 2014

Franchise is cross gen, anger: WHY YOU HOLD BACK MY GAME PUBLISHER?! EFF CROSS GEN

Franchise is split gen, anger: WHY YOU MAKE SO MANY GAMES PUBLISHER?! EFF SPLIT GEN

Why do they bother?

oh yah... money

but yea, this solution seems like it would make people the least angry, but it seems to not.
That way you get a true 'new gen' game and people who haven't upgraded yet a true 'previous gen' game, major fans get 2 entirely different story experiences, Ubi hits revenue goals, and both games will have dedicated teams instead of split resources to optimize each.

but naw, anger anyway. its super fashionable. haha.

Warner's literally did the same thing with batman. though I suppose they staggered the releases a bit more.
This isn't the first or last time it'll happen though, assuming it's a successful model.

TheRealTalker · May 16, 2014

too much Animus for one year

Wario64 · May 16, 2014

Waiting for the third game that's exclusive to Ouya

Keirnoth · May 16, 2014

Anyone have a good "zzz" gif/jpg for this announcement?

Clegg · May 16, 2014

If it's as good as Black Flag then it'll be a definite purchase.

params7 · May 16, 2014

I'll only get this if we're going back to the Crusades.

MayMay · May 16, 2014

I try to look at it like they're using the last gen one as a failsafe in case Unity turns out to be the worst thing ever (Or if it repeats the things AC3 did.. which might as well be close to 'worst thing ever'). I don't think Ill play it, but I will sure as hell play AC Unity!

Edit: I'm interested if it comes out on PC tho

Revolutionary · May 16, 2014

So I guess that means Comet remasters for current gen in Spring '15?

Nirolak · May 16, 2014

It depends if the game is good enough to be worth remastering.

BinaryPork2737 · May 16, 2014

I assume we'll get an Assassin's Creed Comet HD next January then, right?

Lijik · May 16, 2014

Its like Ubisoft saw this video as a challenge

2012 : Assassin's Creed III (PS360) Assassin's Creed III: Liberation(Vita)

MetroidPrimeRib · May 16, 2014

That's just ridiculous.
I'll bet this will have an enhanced PS4/XBO port too, somewhere down the line.

It will. One a month later than consoles and another one a month after that.

U n i o n 0015 · May 16, 2014

Wow, just don't give a shit about this franchise anymore.

And this is coming from someone who 100%'d all of the previous five...haven't even bothered with AC4 yet.
