The Assassin's Creed franchise has had a wild amount of critical and financial success since its debut in 2007, and ever since 2009's Assassin's Creed II we've gotten a new game every year.
This year will be no different, with Assassin's Creed Unity already announced for Xbox One and PS4 and Assassin's Creed: Comet rumored for release on Xbox 360 and PS3. And for those with a little Creed fatigue with the yearly releases, don't get your hopes up for anything less than the yearly release schedule.
In an interview with Edge, Ubisoft VP of creative Lionel Raynaud dished about the yearly release schedule for Creed.
"We are able to offer people a new Assassin's Creed every year because they want Assassin's Creed every year," Raynaud told Edge. "As long as this is true we would be very stupid to not satisfy this need, but it puts a lot of pressure on us to create something that will never disappoint.
"It needs to keep the series core values and we need to really make sure that we have a good, high level understanding of what it is to be an Assassin. We have to make sure we always deliver a better feel and overall experience every time while still bringing something that they haven't seen before that's consistent with being an Assassin in the world we've created."
Raynaud also gave some fuel to the Comet rumors, stating that Ubisoft would continue developing on 360 and PS3 for at least a couple more years.
"We will have games for PS3 and 360 for this year and probably the years after," Raynaud said. "We want to be able to provide games to people who are playing on these consoles. Black Flag was the first Assassin's Creed game of this new generation but it was designed with that in mind, but I wouldn't say it was a cross-generation game, as it has features that could only be for this generation."
