Ubisoft Montreal will continue to develop future "Assassin's Creed" franchise installments.
Multiple reports claimed Ubisoft Quebec would take over the gaming studio's hit title. However, Ubisoft confirmed to GamesIndustry International Montreal will still lead AC development.
"Montreal will continue to be a lead studio for other AC titles," a spokesperson told GamesIndustry International. "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."
Ubisoft Quebec recently received a $4 million investment to improve the company's workspace. GamesIndustry International reports the company will add 100 new employees in the next three years.
"We're glad to be staying in Quebec City, in St-Roch, a neighborhood bursting with creativity and which we have called home for the last 10 years," Ubisoft Quebec Managing Director Nicolas Rioux said. "Our team is very attached to this techno-cultural hub, which the City of Quebec has built up over the years. Today, 350 people work at Ubisoft Quebec, a third of whom live in or near St-Roch...
"We are one of Ubisoft's flagship studios in the creation of the highest quality online, connected, and mobile gaming worlds," he added. "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 will launch "Assassin's Creed: Unity" for the PS4, Xbox One and PC on Oct. 28. The gaming studio unveiled the first footage of their newest AC installment during E3 2014.
Gamers can play as assassin Arno as they run around the streets of France during the revolution. Check out the gameplay footage from E3 in the video below.
