Assassin's Creed III

Don't add speculations of any kind. Only facts are allowed. Any suppositions added here will be deleted. "Assassin's Creed is the story of one man reliving the lives of his ancestors. Altaïr was the middle of a very very long time-line. There are still many places to explore. Assassin's Creed has always been planned to be a trilogy, and Desmond is going back in time, using the Animus to eventually become the ultimate Assassin."

- Patrice Desiliets, Creative Director of Assassin's Creed.

Assassin's Creed III is an upcoming game made by Ubisoft.

At E3 2009 he exclaimed "I'm telling you. At the end of Assassin's Creed II you'll say‚ 'Holy crap, I never saw it coming!' There will be a cliffhanger. It’s cool to have a cliffhanger," that leads into Assassin's Creed III. As for the writing on the wall Patrice says "It has nothing to do with Assassin's Creed II, it has to do with the Assassin's Creed universe, not the second one."

More recently as Patrice was wrapping up production on Assassin's Creed II ' s in September he mentioned that he's looking forward to rounding out the trilogy. “I have many different ideas. I’m not ready yet to exploit them. I think I have some juice left in me to continue this. I've been doing Assassin's Creed games for the past six years. It’s tough to be bored. I was a bit bored with the Third crusade and the monk aspect, and everything, but in this there's a brand new setting. And it's my first sequel; I never did a sequel before, because I didn't do any Prince of Persia sequels. I love the idea of refining your ideas, the gameplay and what you can do with it. So I'm not bored yet.”

Assassin's Creed III will only be released after 2011, and will have a new setting as well as a new protagonist (instead of Altaïr or Ezio).

At a recent earnings call the CEO of Ubisoft said "There will be something around Assassin's [in 2011]. That's all we can say. There has been much speculation to what that may mean, whether that he was referring to Assassin's Creed III or not.

CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that the publisher will release another title in the series later this calendar year and that we'll hear details this coming May. Guillemot wouldn't budge any further when asked for more information, but stated the game will be a "packaged title," likely ruling out it will be a smaller, expansion-style product.
