Update: Ubisoft issued a statement:

"It is always unfortunate when internal assets, not intended for public consumption, are leaked. And, while we certainly welcome anticipation for all of our upcoming titles, we're disappointed for our fans, and our development team, that this conceptual asset is now public. The team in our Quebec studio has been hard at work on the particular game in question for the past few years, and we're excited to officially unveil what the studio has been working on at a later date. In the meantime, our number one priority is enhancing the experience of Assassin's Creed Unity for players."

Next year's Assassin's Creed game will take place in London during the 19th century, Kotaku has learned. Farewell, Napoleon; hello, Jack the Ripper?

We also hear that this will be the only main Assassin's Creed next fall—unless something changes, we won't see two separate entries like we did this year with Unity and Rogue, according to a person familiar with goings-on at the company. Next year, Assassin's Creed is sticking to current-gen platforms and seemingly leaving the Xbox 360 and PS3 behind.

Next year's Assassin's Creed game will take place in London during the 19th century, Kotaku has learned. Farewell, Napoleon; hello, Jack the Ripper?

This new entry in Ubisoft's annual open-world action series, slated for release in the fall of 2015, will take us through the dirty back alleys and rattling stagecoaches of London during the Victorian era, a historical period that fans have wanted to see in an Assassin's Creed game for quite some time now. This new Assassin's Creed game is called or code-named Victory—like Victorian!—and it will be out next year for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, according to a person familiar with the game.

This new entry in Ubisoft's annual open-world action series, slated for release in the fall of 2015, will take us through the dirty back alleys and rattling stagecoaches of London during the Victorian era, a historical period that fans have wanted to see in an Assassin's Creed game for quite some time now.

Victory is something of a shift for the series in a few ways. For one, this is the first Assassin's Creed game helmed by Ubisoft's Quebec studio, as opposed to their primary Montreal office, which has led development on the biggest Assassin's Creed releases since the first game in 2007.

Today we can tell you about Victory, thanks to a seven-minute "target gameplay footage" video seen by Kotaku that demonstrates what Ubisoft's dev team expects from the upcoming Assassin's Creed game. The video is surprisingly slick and could pass for an E3 presentation, and although it may not represent what the final game looks like, the beginning of the video proclaims that it was produced entirely in Anvil, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed engine. In other words, it wasn't pre-rendered

Mesoian · Dec 2, 2014

Will people learn their lessons about pre-ordering things? Probably not.

mdubs · Dec 2, 2014

Looks like this will claim victory over my wallet next year

jbug617 · Dec 2, 2014

The Quebec studio is in charge instead of the Montreal studio.

TheSinkingKnight · Dec 2, 2014

What the actual hell. AC gets announced earlier and earlier.

kadotsu · Dec 2, 2014

Sony should pay for a The Order tie in mission

iNvid02 · Dec 2, 2014

yes, aw yes

KINGofCRA5H · Dec 2, 2014

So *one* development studio? I guess that's a start

Alcoholikaust · Dec 2, 2014

Asscreed guv'na?

illmatic22 · Dec 2, 2014

Bloody hell

Corpekata · Dec 2, 2014

You apparently get a grappling hook. This satisfies me.

thabiz · Dec 2, 2014

this is good news indeed.

Nirolak · Dec 2, 2014

Yeah, this seemed like the logical follow-up to Unity.

It will probably be one of those "not-exactly-a-full-sequel" titles that focuses on polishing all the rough edges from the last game, but still positioned as a mainline title in the same way AC4 built directly on top of AC3 or Brotherhood on AC2.

Qblivion · Dec 2, 2014

Literally yawned while reading this. At least call of duty is trying to stay interesting with semi realistic sci-fi.

CrisKre · Dec 2, 2014

Im sick of Europe. Please shake it up ubi. Asia or Africa. I understand you want to reuse assets. But Please.

Ikuu · Dec 2, 2014

Wonder if everyone will have French accents.

cyberheater · Dec 2, 2014

Sounds like a cracking setting. Can't wait to traverse the old London rooftops.

Charlie0108 · Dec 2, 2014

Will everyone have French accents?

Trigonometrize. · Dec 2, 2014

Will this game feature French accents?

Edit: holy shit that double beaten

Tengrave · Dec 2, 2014

Wow! Glad I skipped Unity. See you next year AC

Bessy67 · Dec 2, 2014

Meh. I was hoping for Egypt or Japan.

Acquiescence · Dec 2, 2014

I'll stick with The Order and Bloodborne for my Victorian-era thrills thanks.

Chance Hale · Dec 2, 2014

I can already imagine the framerate for those smoke vents with physx <3

Coffee Dog · Dec 2, 2014

Try again next year minorities

nobodyshero · Dec 2, 2014

Is that a screen from it? It looks the same as Unity.

Ugh, no thanks. Let's get back into some more interesting places/periods, shall we? I love Europe and all, but we've exhausted it.

sn00zer · Dec 2, 2014

Gah... well if EA can bounce back with DA:I after BF4....hopeful Ubi has learned

Freedom = $1.05 · Dec 2, 2014

Assassin's Creed: Black Rag, a return to form for ubisoft's yearly tower climbing, stealth tailing, poorly implemented combat gameplay rehash that everyone is tired of but for some ungodly reason it still sells.

Corgi · Dec 2, 2014

Jack the Ripper Face off.

CreeperBlocks · Dec 2, 2014

Do you guys think we will get another last gen game too?

Nori Chan · Dec 2, 2014

Bravo 3 posts in a row.

I do hope it has it indeed then lol.

Markitron · Dec 2, 2014

I only just started Unity and am really enjoying it, Looking forward to this.

What else do you want with one of the biggest dev teams.

I hate to say it, though. Victorian London? They got me there and if they fix the performance I am totally down for that one.

Death Metalist · Dec 2, 2014

Better get on Unity soon before this hits. Ubisoft's COD.

Spectromixer · Dec 2, 2014

Hooollly shit. I'm already sold. I just don't want to get burned like I did with Unity.

ActStriker · Dec 2, 2014

Shouldn't they fix their older release first?

or did they

_woLf · Dec 2, 2014

That's not China or Feudal Japan.

Sesha · Dec 2, 2014

The most important question is: Jack the Ripper, pre-order DLC or unlocked by registering to some app or online service?

Guevara · Dec 2, 2014

The Order: Assassin's Creed 1886 (Codename: Bloodborne).

Tamanon · Dec 2, 2014

Good lord, Unity JUST came out. I understand it's a yearly franchise, but at least wait a bit.

Although Victorian London should be a good setting.

mp1990 · Dec 2, 2014

Fuck,i'm in,i still believe in Ubisoft.

dddooozzz9 · Dec 2, 2014

Bug. Bug. Bug everywhere.

I assume they're leading development, but doing it all.

iMax · Dec 2, 2014

Ubisoft Canada is insanely leaky these days.

Anyway, looks good. Glad to have a game set in London.

Dawg · Dec 2, 2014

Could have had me with Japan, Ubi.

COULD HAVE HAD ME

Gurthang · Dec 2, 2014

If Ubisoft's Quebec studio is making it that means it has been in development for a quite while. Which means it can be a good game.

I know it's coming, but not even one month after the latest one came out?
