November 11th ?
That's two weeks after Unity...
Oh well, two AC for me then this year.

They will probably reveal the game next week at either sony or microsoft's gamescom press conference.
It has to be, no way they'd have 2 AC titles for 7th gen in Fall 2014.Is this Comet?

Game. PS3/Xbox 360/PC. out november 11th.
I'd say i'm surprised about no wii u version, but I'm really not.
No Wii U version? Ouch.
Doesn't bode well for Watch_Dogs, either. Maybe Nintendo is partially funding that so...who knows.
Lamest excuse for misogyny ever. If they had decent writers they could make a 18th century pirate story work with a black man, or a woman (see Adele and Mary Read in AC 4), or anyone else.Were there many black ship captains around the time the game is set?
Should they put a black female as the protagonist despite the time period and setting just to please people like yourself?
Seriously getting sick of comments like this, if they want to tell a story about a white dude sailing in the arctic then that is their prerogative, do you whine when the latest Michael Bay film comes out and has a white male lead with a female that is there just to look pretty?
Really getting sick of this franchise. Fucking stop releasing a game every year, dammit. Two titles now??
I think the siege they are referring to took place in Nova Scotia in 1630. Assassins Creed Quebec? Im down.
We get 2 PC AC games this year!?
Shit ports or not, that's pretty cool.
It's not an excuse, if someone doesn't want to write a story for a female or other race then surely they shouldn't be made to do it?Lamest excuse for misogyny ever.

More interested in this than Unity.
Pirates.
I'm laughing. Yes, Michael Bay movies are often derided for being incredibly formulaic.Were there many black ship captains around the time the game is set?

If you think the only reason to have a minority as a main character is "to please people" then you are close-minded af. If devs want to tell a story about a white dude then they can join the 90% of other devs that want to make a story about a white dude. But it means that people are welcome to complain about them constantly making stories about white dudes.
Fort de Sable? Arctic landscape? So this takes place in Canada to some extent. I hope it doesn't have too many AC III like cities and landscapes though.
I actually kind of like this, 2 different AC on my PC: a pirates one and a Paris one. Great, I'm looking forward to it.
Oh, come on, not you too. It was already confirmed several times by Ubisoft for November in interviews, it's in the latest Nintendo Investors info.

Last week story doesn't mention PC version.

If this game is anything like Black Flag, I'll buy it in a heartbeat
Thanks for the advice, I wasn't planning on buying this OR AC:Unity for the reasons mentioned above.Where did I say that?
All I said was why should a writer change the protagonist of their story just to appease people whining about not having a female protagonist.
If you don't like people writing stories about white males then don't buy them and maybe they will get the picture.
I loved Freedom Cry, probably more than Black Flag, and would love to see a female lead a flagship AAA AC game and not just a mobile game.
The milking of this franchise is pretty shameless
I've said it in the steam thread and I'll say it again, 3 AC games in 1 year is ridiculous.
Unity
Rogue
Liberation HD
Also Far cry 4 and watch dogs as well. Ubisoft has gone beyond annualisation.

And if you think that the writers of AC are writing exactly what they want to write, and not what Ubi's market analysis department wants them to write, then you are wrong.
Why else would everyone at Ubi want to write about white dudes? Because according to Ubi's market analysis, white generic male protag = $$$.
I await when Ass Creed becomes a quarterly title
So February, May, August and November, the Ass Creed months!
Liberation HD was just a port.
We also had a standalone release of Assassins Creed: Freedom Cry (The DLC from 4) this year, if you want to be really picky.

Thanks for telling me that believing in representation in games is a "petty issue". Would you mind sharing some of your beliefs so that I can belittle those?You're going to miss out on a game because of such a petty issue?
Never fail gaf, never fail.

I hope this isn't a mistake.
Are posts like this gonna happen in every AC thread? ಠ_ಠ

That argument would made sense if you ignored that:
Assassins Creed
Assassins Creed 3
Assassins Creed Liberation+Liberation HD
Freedom Cry DLC+Standalone
exist.
You've got to be kidding me if you think that Middle Eastern people during the crusades had skin that pale. Altair was the same colour as Robert, ffs.Assassins Creed
Half Native American, half British.Assassins Creed 3
A joke of a game. Coming from a day one buyer of Liberation, it was a broken, poor-performing mess that was clearly given neither the attention nor time it deserved to be a good game. It was clear Ubi couldn't care less - the game ran at about 18 fps and was missing a lot of what you would consider standard. It didn't even have skippable cutscenes, and it had an incredibly common, save breaking bug that was only fixed after the fact and still meant players had to restart their game. Happened to me when I was close to 100%.Assassins Creed Liberation+Liberation HD
Oh, you got me there. I'm so thankful Ubi decided that a black protag was worth a whole DLC. Never mind that it's a single DLC amongst a sea of male white protag games.Freedom Cry DLC+Standalone
OK, then it would be nice to have some non white male protags. Right?I don't really care tbh. If it's a good game it's good, no matter the character.
