So you think those trappings necessitate a numbered entry? We’ll just have to see. It would be bucking the trend if the main games became annualized.

They’ll most likely be cross-gen. But we can’t exactly nail down possible dates or possibilities without new information on the new systems.

They’ve said its a new story, new protagonist, new era. It’s not going to be like Brotherhood and Revelations.

I think its safe to assume it’ll be AC IV

They haven’t said that it’s ACIV, nor is it likely that it ultimately ends up being such. It’s almost definitely going to be a more derivative release like Brotherhood or Revelations. In light of that, one may still consider Watch Dogs to be Ubi’s heavy-hitter.

I still don’t quite get how they are gonna clash this and ACIV in the next holidays. Maybe Watch Dogs for this gen and ACIV for next gen? Could they have prepared a massive AC game for next gen this early? If Watch Dogs is current gen, maybe the footage at E3 was running on PCs?

Yes, but lets be real here. Ubisoft isn’t going to miss those Christmas sales.

Especially with the launch of two new systems to capitalize on.

Wasn’t the new AC confirmed for this fiscal year, meaning it can launch anytime before March 2014?

That’s what I was thinking but I guess they don’t care but both could be next and current gen.

Was it really confirmed for this year? For next-gen? Won’t it clash with this game?

They already confirmed AC IV for this year.

They already announced a new Assassin’s Creed for this year.
