An Ubisoft conference call indicates the company may be preparing for an "Assassin's Creed 5" announcement.
Nowgamer.com reports the company revealed in a conference call on Feb. 11 there are two games the company has yet to unveil, but will "soon announce."
According to the conference call, the company will be releasing five major titles between April 2014 and March 2015. The games the company has announced for that time frame are "The Crew", "Watch Dogs" and a new "Just Dance" title.
Ubisoft has been releasing a yearly "Assassin's Creed", which means it isn't wrong to assume one of the two unannounced titles could be the next series installment.
There are many rumored locations for "Assassin's Creed 5": Feudal Japan, Ancient Egypt, China and the French revolution to name a few. The rumors mills began buzzing when an Abstergo employee email in "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" talked about possible locations for the franchise.
However, AC4 lead writer Darby McDevitt explained to Edge the email was a parody of what fans have been asked for since the series launched.
"The email thread that's in the game, I wrote that very swiftly in an afternoon but I didn't realise that Kotaku would write like two huge articles about it," McDevitt told Edge. "What a lot of people don't realise is that the time periods I picked were not necessarily the ones we were considering, it was just me parodying the ones that the fans had asked for back to them. So the fans generated that list, we didn't generate that list."
McDevitt added the series has an endless amount of possibilities, as the "Assassin's Creed" story has no set ending.
"We stayed on course maybe 75 or 80 per cent of the time," McDevitt told Edge. "The end of the Desmond trilogy changed slightly but it was always intended to end that way. And then about two years ago we planned for another story - there's been a bit of confusion in that [Black Flag game director Ashraf Ismail] once said that Assassin's Creed has an ending - that's not exactly true."
"This storyline has an ending, but because all of history is open to us we see the universe as a Doctor Who type thing," McDevitt added. "There are so many possibilities we don't want to definitively end the universe, but we can have storylines that have endings."
