Even with Ubisoft's resources, that sounds like a stretch. It could be that a "next-gen" focused AC is in development, but for 2014.
Edit: Didn't read the Vita part. That might make sense, although I don't see them creating the assets and world of completely new area/time period for use in a Vita exclusive.

Hmm, I dunno about another Vita one. While Ubisoft Sofia is working on another "AAA" project, a Ubisoft leaker posted that Vita fans won't be happy. Given Black Flags is coming to PS3/360/Wii U/PC I figured it wouldn't be a Liberation port, but rather maybe a 3DS game or something?

I've been told that AC on Vita was a failure though, wtf

Flog that dead horse, Ubi. Flog away.
Link? ACIII:Liberations didn't do that bad in the end for what it is, I thought another iteration on Vita could have been possible.
Huh? Who told you that? Ubisoft's CEO said the exact opposite.

Guessing it's Liberation HD, but we'll see soon enough.

Link to the leaker bit? Hope it's a 3DS game. Sofia did Shadow Wars so they have 3DS experience.

Damn. With new systems coming out I honestly have no interest in playing games on the current ones. I'm finishing up a few old games but I doubt I'll be buying many more for this generation.
This is disappointing.

Has there ever been a CEO saying one of their games was a big failure? Most of times it's just 'exceeding expectations', which depend on how high you set those.
There was no reason to go out of his way to praise its sales like he did if they were disappointed.

I don't believe this rumor. At all.

I think the next thing we need is Guitar Hero: Assassin's Creed Edition.
Dead? AC3 was their most successful game to date.
I'm not saying it didn't sell well, I was just saying ceo's are still businessmen trying to keep their shareholders happy. I don't know what he said about AC:L, so I can't judge that.

Because VGLeaks is now pulling shit out of their ass without any credible source. All their credible sources were regarding hardware leaks from last year's iteration, and they keep on rehashing that data over and over and over again. This is just them speculating out of nowhere.
And now they're backtracking. Hilarious. VGLeaks is now two steps behind other media.
I'd lol hard if it isn't released on PS4/720. Because Wii U would be the only next gen console with an AC title. And that's...seriously impossible. :lol

I doubt this is true at all. AC4 not on next gen? Nah.

But who was the original leaker?

It wasn't canned. It was changed into AC: Revelations. It possible that development reached a point where a game engine was made, but a AC game on the 3DS would probably be built from scratch.

It's going to be a cross gen title. Even EG's news editor is saying the same thing.

If watch dogs in Cross-generational, then Black Flags is cross-generational.
It's like the top selling Vita game in the west. Just not enough vitas are in the wild. Also it is way better than 3. Won an award for best story telling.

I did, and it sounds like everything about what the second game is is pure speculation (as with the hastily corrected bit about ACIV not being on PS4/Durango). Could I be wrong? Sure, but I doubt it.
Makes sense though if you think about it.
I was surprised when I heard Black Flag was a numbered entry, because it fits with the theme of ACIII and could have been part of a ACII-Brotherhood-Revelations trilogy.
However, if they're making a Vita spin-off and exclusive PS4/Durango games, it kind of makes sense to have 3 "Assassin's Creed IV: Subtitle" games, like they did with ACIII and Liberation.

The leak is only for a new Assassin's Creed Vita.
The missing PS4/Durango information was to add fluff to the news piece. This "leaker" possibly saw the boxarts and concluded that PS4/Durango weren't going to get the game.
Which makes me put the source in doubt.
It doesn't sound like spectulation. He's saying that there's another AC and it's for Vita

It sounded too absurd no ACIV on next gen. Do you know something about the other AC title(if, you know, it's real)?
Probably waiting for the Durango reveal.
Dat Ubi support!
Uh, yes. EA just recently threw Medal of Honor: Warfighter under the bus. Yves went out of his way to say that with the right game (implying AC: Liberation was the right game) you can be successful on Vita.
This poster put out details regarding Black Flags that ended up being correct, so I'm guessing they're legit (it's not like it would be the first Ubi thing to leak anyways):
Sup, vitabros. Heard from a very reliable source that rayman legends and rainbow six patriots is heading towards the vita.
If it's being developed by Sofia again (which would make the most sense) I guess it's not impossible for him to not hear of it, since I doubt North American based Ubisoft staff hear a lot about what goes on in Bulgaria, lol. He could very well be referencing a Liberation port, but I dunno.

I just find it weird that Ubi has no issue announcing Watch_Dogs for PS4, but it seems like they could be waiting for the 720 announcement before announcing the next-gen version of AC4.
Or maybe it's because they're building the current-gen version first and porting to next-gen later, opposite of Watch_Dogs.
But it seems Ubisoft will make Vita's owners angry. And Assassin's Creed would be the only thing related to Vita from Ubisoft, considering the same user said that RL and Ghost Recon are coming on the platform.
I haven't heard anything but wouldn't be surprised to see a Liberations sequel at some point.

Look at how bad AC plays on Vita and ask yourself, who would buy AC on the 3DS?
Ubisoft shipped 600k of ACL because it was bundled and Sony basically gave it for free. Let's not play dumb, nobody is checking for that turd.
Iwata likes to play dirty though, and a few months ago he mentioned the ACL crazy bundle and deals, so maybe he's planning to do the same this holiday season.
EDIT: Looking at Takao's post, the source seems legit, the bad news would be Liberations HD? I have also heard of RL on Vita, and as some people have mentioned before, it's probably being kept under wraps because it's a $40 game versus $60 on consoles.
