New Assassin's Creed Coming, Liberation Closes In On 600,000
Assassin's Creed IIIIt's another franchise that could've used a little break, don't you think?
But hey, when the money's still flowing, there's little reason to stop. During a post-earnings conference call, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot revealed that the next Assassin's Creed will launch during the company's fiscal 2014 year, which is between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014. The game will boast a new hero and a new time period.
No platforms were announced but we have to assume it'll be for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Previous rumors have speculated that the new AC will be set in Brazil and potentially include cooperative gameplay. Ubisoft also confirmed that last year's hugely popular Assassin's Creed III has shipped over 12 million copies to date, and the Vita iteration - Assassin's Creed III: Liberation - has sold "close to 600,000" units. That's pretty damn impressive, especially considering that there aren't a ton of Vitas out there just yet.
However, it's possible that that number could be a shipped stat rather than a sold stat. Either way, it's still impressive. It's also interesting to hear that the next AC will be entirely new, just like ACIII was...

enough with the milking of AC, its time we sat down and figured out what made the franchise so successful and try to bring it back to its roots!
franchise has been going downhill ever since AC2 came out!
go read PC power plays review, a 4/10.
yea it was harsh, VERY harsh!
but what they said, and complained about, is 100% fair and accurate!

The AC universe is amazing and the more it I can experience the better. That's the way I feel with Dead Space. Oh and Dead Space 3 is absolutely amazing by the way!
I just recently got the Platinum for ACIIIL and I thought the game was an amazing handheld AC experience. I have ACIII and have only played the beginning. It was to soon after ACIIIL for me to jump into another AC game. This series is amazing and as long as they do it right I am happy!

Just imagine if GTA had been annual. Sure, I could skip an entry or two between each new GTA I got me, but it would not have been the same! This year GTA5 is a HUGE event, we've been waiting for a long time and are HUNGRY for more GTA. Had it been like this if GTA4 was released just 6 months ago? Of course not.
