Assassins Creed 3 release date this year?!

[ewko117]

Well cvg have you considered the option ( most likely by the way) that there will be an expansion pack released? Some episodic format would be no surprise, I cant remember all your past stories I have read and I cant be arsed searching for it but Im pretty sure you have already reported on AS2 DLC... a bit of a non story here...

(sorry dont mean to be a smart bottom but pick the reporting level up a bit)

It's not the fact that another Assassin's Creed game is coming out this year that excites me, it's the presence of DRIVER in that list! Bring it on, Ubisoft!

considering that Ubisoft have gone on record saying that they will release one Prince of Persia game and one Assassin's creed game every alternate year, the answer is no.
It's next year..we have the PoP game this year.

I'm surprised no one's bitched yet about the mention of multiplayer. Personally I can't really see it working out too well either as a Deathmatch or co-op type game, but maybe little multiplayer mini-games such as "first to assassinate the target" or "capture the flag" (like in the storyline) could possibly work.

i think multiplayer would work really well actually - factions, group assassinations, chases and so on - there was an interview knocking around as well regarding some gameplay mechanincs that were cut from AC2 - i have a feeling it will be a spin off and not as free roaming as ac2, but i'm looking forward to this...

Well might as well throw my theory in:

It'll be a spinoff (probally called assassins creed chronicals) and it will follow the story of one of the other assassins in modern time fighting against the templars.

Ill explain why I think my theory might be right:

1)It gives Ubisoft a chance to experiment with a modern setting without risking a main part of the franchise.

2)They can also experiment with a multiplayer component without risking the loss of major singleplayer content

3)They need a new stealthy multiplayer game seeing as splinter cell ditched the spies vs mercs mode

Probally all wrong but we will see

Hopefully the Assassin's Creed game is a spin off of some sorts. They'll ruin the franchaise if they go the Call of Duty route by having one game each year rotated between different studios.
Online multiplayer could work though. People had doubts about how Splinter Cell would cope with multiplayer but that ended up great. They'd just need to come up with some interesting game modes rather than regular death match, etc.

Whatever it turns out to be, I hope it's better than that dreadful Altair game on the DS. That was utter tripe.
