Ubisoft Quebec will lead the development on the next Assassin’s Creed

C'mon already

When it comes to Assassin’s Creed games, Ubisoft has normally thrown every single able body possible at their franchise, with numerous teams helping to develop an annual backstab ‘em up release. Throughout all that development however, Ubisoft Montreal has remained in charge of the organised chaos ever since the first game popped up for a sneaky kill. This year however, the next Assassin’s Creed game is in the hands of someone else.

Ubisoft’s Quebec team will handle lead development on the next game in the series once work the Montreal team wraps up work on Assassin’s Creed Unity.

“Montreal will continue to be a lead studio for other AC titles. And Montreal and Quebec will continue to collaborate with each other and with other Ubisoft studios – that’s been key for making sure each Assassin’s Creed title offers something new and creative for players,” a representative said (via AGB).

“We are one of Ubisoft’s flagship studios in the creation of the highest quality online, connected, and mobile gaming worlds. We have many years of experience on major Ubisoft franchises such as Prince of Persia, Heroes of Might & Magic, Watch Dogs, and Assassin’s Creed. We are thrilled that we will be heading up one of the next episodes of this major Ubisoft brand,” Ubisoft Quebec managing director Nicolas Rioux said.

Quebec is still a relatively new team, but they’ve been given a sizeable show of faith by their parent company. And since they’ve been around since the days of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, they happen to have my vote. Ubisoft recently pumped $28 million into the studio, with a hundred new staff members on the way to make the most of that increase and get cracking on the next AC game. That would bring the Quebec team up to 350 members at the end of the day.

Assassin’s Creed: Unity drops in from the rooftops in October for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It’s got the latest visuals to make the French Revolution feel that much more realistic, plus it’s filled with the most popular gameplay feature of E3 2014: Four-player co-op.

            I need another slot and then 3 days to craft it.
            Right now I’m trying to get Argon for my Dragon Nikana.
            Finally got to mastery 8 on Tuesday.

            Sweet. I’m only on 3 now. This is my first new warframe so I’m actually rather excited.

    I think I’d really be into Assassin’s Creed if it wasn’t for Uplay.

      what’s the issue with uPlay anyway?
      only uPlay game i have is Rocksmith 2014, never had an issue with it. Sometimes my line is up to shit, then I just hit ESC when it tries to connect.

        The problem is that I buy all my games through Steam. So it forces you to have both clients open, because Ubisoft refuses to NOT incorporate Uplay into every game.
        Also, it tends to not work well with certain games. My FarCry 3 was perfect, but my Blood Dragon didn’t want to work for months.

          again, i know i’m only using 1 game as an example. But Rocksmith was bought through Steam. Starts up normally, I guess get a “Connecting to uPlay” after the first loading screen, which is skippable.

          If i skip, i can’t see the online DLC store, but that’s about it.

          I know that in the past it was horrible with AC2 being broken if you’re not connected. But they seemed to have dialed back quite a bit since then.

            I just think it’s really idiotic of them to force it on people.
            It’s the reason I don’t really buy Ubisoft anymore. If every publisher forced their client on you it would be a madhouse, and Ubisoft is really not special enough to think they can do it.

        I’ve had more problems connecting to uplay than any other service. Not a single Ubi game in the last couple of years where I haven’t at some point been unable to play it just because I couldn’t log in to uplay.

          Yes.
          I had a period of four months where I couldn’t log in.

          Lucky for me then. Being a peasant means that I don’t have to suffer these 1st world problems. UPlay isn’t affecting me… yet.

            Be glad. It doesn’t ruin my life, but it’s damn annoying.

            If only it worked as well as Origin. *vomit slightly in mouth*

      Maybe wait another year.
      They’ll probably release a collection pack of the first few game with additional content.

      Wait a moment, “… mobile gaming worlds.”
      Could they be working on a mobile version?
