New Assassins Creed to be released in 2012

Ubisoft is planning to release another Assassins Creed title next year, and it's going to be a big one. CEO Yves Guillermot confirmed the news today.

"There will be another great, full-fledged Assassin’s Creed title next year, It will be a major release and we’ll be communicating more about it in the coming months."

Early details were given in this months issue of Eurogamer stating that this next one will be the conclusion of Desmonds story. Could this be the long awaited Assassins Creed 3? We'll find out very soon.

Creative Director Alexandre Amancio commented on the recent news. "In Assassin's Creed we set up a timeline with this whole end of the world plot of December 2012. That's fast approaching, and the story we have to tell, we obviously need to do it before we arrive at that point. We have the Ezio cycle and the Altair cycle, and both of those are set to conclude in Revelations, and we have the Desmond cycle, which is set to end on December 2012. But there's many cycles within the brand – that's the whole point. History is our playground."
