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.

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.

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

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.
 
Literally yawned while reading this. At least call of duty is trying to stay interesting with semi realistic sci-fi.
 
Sounds like a cracking setting. Can't wait to traverse the old London rooftops.
 
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.
 
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.
 
I only just started Unity and am really enjoying it, Looking forward to this.
 
The most important question is: Jack the Ripper, pre-order DLC or unlocked by registering to some app or online service?
 
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.
 
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.
