Ubisoft’s second alleged “Assassin’s Creed” title for the last-gen gaming systems may have leaked online.
IGN reports Swiss gaming retailer World of Games listed a title called “Assassin’s Creed: Rogue,” which would be released along side “Assassin’s Creed: Unity” on Oct. 28. The listing has since been removed from the gaming retailer’s website.
Rumors of a second “Assassin’s Creed” title being released in 2014 came when the first images of “Unity” were leaked online by Kotaku. The website claimed a source confirmed two titles would be released: a direct sequel to “Asssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag” and an exclusive title for next-gen consoles.
Kotaku reported back in March “Comet” was the alleged codename for the last-gen title. The game would allegedly follow Shay, a Templar who wants to take down the Assassins. The title would be set in New York, but would also allow players to sail the Atlantic Ocean.
“One source describes the game as a cross between Assassin's Creed III and the Freedom Cry DLC for Assassin's Creed IV,” Kotaku reported. “Sources also say that Haytham Kenway and Adewalé will make appearances, among other returning AC characters.”
Ubisoft has yet to confirm any information regarding a second title. However, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated during an investor call earlier in July more information regarding unannounced title would be released “soon.”
Guillemot also shared on Ubisoft’s official blog what fans can expect in their “Assassin’s Creed: Unity” as well as future titles. The Ubisoft executive explained developers want to create a seamless experience for gamers.
"You want liberty," Guillemot said. "When you want to play solo, you play solo. If you want to play with your friends, then you let them come join you. The seamless solo/multiplayer is something that we've developed and that will continue to grow in the next few years."
