Assassin's Creed Won't Get a 2019 Release

Ubisoft announced at gamescom this week that it has no plans for an Assassin's Creed game in 2019.

Assassin's Creed was once a yearly mainstay for Ubisoft between 2009 and 2015, before a well earned break after Syndicate. Instead of a new release next year, it will release additional content for Odyssey, releasing in October.

“We are not going to have a full-fledged Assassin’s next year,” Guillemot told Gamespot. “It’s just because the team were working separately, [that] we have two games now, one year after the other. But next year you’re not going to have a fully fledged one.”

“When you get [Odyssey] this year, you’re going to get in for a couple of years, actually,” he said.

After no release in 2016, the gap before the release of Assassin's Creed Origins resulted in very positive review scores, so Ubisoft will be hoping it can push for more innovations in its next iteration.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey will take you back to 431-404 BC when it releases on the 5th of October, on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
