Now before you go >Kotaku (as awful as they are), do remember that they are the ones that leaked Unity and Syndicate information before any official announcements regarding the games, so this has some credibility.

According to the sources
  • Skipping 2016. Will release in 2017.
  • Will now be a biennial franchise.
  • Titled Assassin's Creed: Empire.
  • Set in Ancient Egypt.

Also a compilation of the 4Chan posts
http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=191191986&postcount=1
According to which, the game will
  • Be a complete revamp of the series
  • A Witcher feel (whatever that means)
  • Player progression
  • Freeform combat system
  • Horses and boats are back
  • Developed by the team that developed Black Flag (if true, then fuck yes!)

Well I'll be glad if it stops being a yearly release, about time. Having an actual combat system would be neat, but I still wanna be all sneaky beaky like  regardless.

when every game in the series (black flag barely slips by as an exception) has been utter trash since 2, you really cant justify still playing them. by continuing to pay out every year you only encouraged the development of terrible games.

Brotherhood was brilliant.
Revelations was good.
3 was awful.
Black Flag was fantastic.
Unity was awful.
Syndicate is pretty good.

Hardly what I'd call trash, but sure.

Well, like, yeah you can.

Encouraging it so much that they're completely changing the development schedule of the games and adding another year onto the already 3 year development the games are already in.
Plus I bought Black Flag and Syndicate for cheap months later because of how shit the previous ones were, and because both (BF and Syndicate) are pretty well received games.

hey
Good, this'll stop people from getting tired of the games, and let them put more effort into them

Plus ancient Egypt sounds pretty neat, hopefully they stop with the "Let's put the player character through every historical event" thing though

I'm hyped.  They're giving their teams more time to complete the games and polish them up, and Ancient Egypt sounds fascinating for a time period.  Think they'll still go with the "You're the main character!" for the modern day stuff?

There's already a mobile game that got a soft launched in Australia in 2014. It was supposed to release in 2015 for the US and Europe but it never did, so they might release it this year instead.

Plus there's the movie releasing this December which they'll probably use to fill this year's gap.

I don't really care if they do tbh. The modern day stuff is utter crap, so the less I'm exposed to it the better.

Honestly, I seriously hope they pick up the modern day story again. Killing Desmond was such a waste and killed any momentum the series had built up.

Plus, ya know. Glitches.

I wouldn't say it's crap. It's really just for people who like the lore of the universe. It doesn't really have a super strong narrative now that Desmond died. My guess is they didn't really plan for anything after 3 since it all led up to 2012. It fell off after that.

Kind of hard to once they killed off all the main people. Warren Viddic died, Desmond died... Well, no I guess you still have the father, Shaun, and Rebecca. I think killing off Lucy (shut up) and saying she was a Templar hidden, was a giant mistake though simply because they couldn't afford her anymore.

The banter she and Desmond had was great.

I stopped playing every time they pulled you out of the animus for whatever BS reason the 'story' needed.

I could not care any less about the modern shit, desmond shouldn't have existed in the first place.

Egypt sounds nice though

well having read all the animus fragment thingies from syndicate, it seems likely that
Spoiler
Desmond had a son in his time after escaping the Assassins but before being captured by the Templars. 'Cos in one of the fragment databses entries it says they found a boy with the same ancestral time periods as Desmond (Renaissance, Constantinople, American Revolution etc) and his age matches the time that's passed between escaping and being captured

I still need to get Syndicate. Does it actually run well? I suffered through Unity, but never again!

This sounds pretty interesting though. Not sure how well AC could work in that time period, if we're talking B.C here. But we'll find out.

Also willing to bet if there isn't a new AC this year, they'll release that collection. As long as it works, and has some upgrades, I'd buy it. I still haven't played 1, Brotherhood, or Revelations really.

The TWCB stuff is fine, and doesn't need the Modern Day story.

Desmond and the Modern Day story was shit to begin with and was really nothing more than a half baked attempt to bridge the games, which wasn't at all necessary because there's already multiple things bridging them.

I'm glad they killed off Desmond (because he was as awful as Connor), and glad that the Modern Day story is taking a back seat to the real reason people buy the games; the historical settings.

Every time I was forced to leave the Animus and forced to play as that cunt Desmond (or faceless character who works for Abstergo Entertainment aka Ubisoft) made me hate the game a little bit every time.

The only good thing about the Modern Day story is Shaun. I could spend hours reading the database entries written by him.
