No new Assassin's Creed game will launch in 2022

Last year, Ubisoft released Assassin'south Creed Origins for Xbox One and other platforms. The game garnered stellar reviews and was seen as a revival for the series. The publisher committed to pushing out polished experiences in the franchise moving forward, so when Assassin's Creed Odyssey was announced with a 2022 release appointment, gamers were shocked to say the least. Many were expecting the series to take a year off.

It's unclear how good Assassin'southward Creed Odyssey volition be, merely we practise know that there won't be a new Assassin'southward Creed game in 2022. In an interview betwixt GameSpot and Ubisoft head Yves Guillemot, the executive said the following.

We had a game and we have one this year, but nosotros are non going to accept a full-fledged Assassin's side by side yr. It'south just because the teams were working separately, then we have two games at present, one year subsequently the other. Just next yr, you're non going to have a fully-fledged 1... What you'll take is lots of content coming to Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The team actually wants to give, on a regular basis, some new possibilities for play, and so when you get Odyssey this twelvemonth, you're going to get in for a couple of years, actually... The time gave the team the possibility to really bring what they wanted to. The customs has been responding very well to information technology and when I meet what we are bringing with Odyssey, I know that the community... will be amazed.

GameStop confirmed with Guillemot that no spin-offs would launch next year either. Rumor has information technology that the sequel to Assassin's Creed Odyssey takes identify in Japan. We'll keep you posted as soon as we receive more than data.

It's great to see that Ubisoft is giving the teams a break considering, before Assassinator'south Creed Origins, the company put out a string of mediocre games that nearly destroyed the franchise.
