Det er endeligt officielt. Efter månedsvis med rygter og spekulation, har Ubisoft og Assassin's Creed-holdet bekræftet via en pressemeddelelse, at der ikke udkomme et nyt Assassin's Creed-spil i år.
"This year, we also are stepping back and re-examining the Assassin's Creed franchise. As a result, we've decided that there will not be a new Assassin's Creed game in 2016. Since the release of Assassin's Creed Unity, we've learned a lot based on your feedback. We've also updated our development processes and recommitted to making Assassin's Creed a premier open-world franchise. We're taking this year to evolve the game mechanics and to make sure we're delivering on the promise of Assassin's Creed offering unique and memorable gameplay experiences that make history everyone's playground."
