There will be no new Assassin’s Creed game in 2019

Ubisoft said it won’t be releasing any new Assassin’s Creed games in 2019, and will instead support this year’s title, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, with plenty of new in-game content. Speaking at GamesCom, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guilemot explained that the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey launch in 2018 is likely because Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odysseys are being developed at the same time, and that other than Odyssey, no other titles will be released. after that.

“About Assassin’s, we have games [trong 2018] and one this year, but we won’t have Assassin’s for next year,” Guilemot said. “That’s because the team is working separately, so we have two games right now. But next year, people won’t have any games.”

When asked if the series will have a side story or something smaller, Guilemot also confirmed this will not happen.

“What people get will be a lot of content for [Assassin’s Creed Odyssey]. Periodically, the team wants to come up with something new for players to keep playing, so when you have [Odyssey] this year, you’ll actually get a lot more in those few years.

When talking about the decision to stop the annual Assassin’s Creed release and give the development team at Ubisoft more time to refresh the series for Assassin’s Creeds Origins, Guillemot said it was completely worth it.

“[Thời gian] so the team can add what they want. The community has responded positively to the game, and as I see what I’m about to bring to Oydssey, I know the community will definitely enjoy it just like Origins.”

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey launches October 5 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Taking place in Greece, you can choose to play as male and female characters in this game.
