We know that Ubisoft has plans on releasing a new Assassin’s Creed game every year and they’re not shy about it, despite some worrying that the annual releases could somehow dilute the franchise. On one hand that is true, but on the other we’re sure that gamers out there who are fans would love to see new content added every now and then, right?

Well perhaps Ubisoft’s strategy might be paying off for them because according to the recent figures, it seems that Assassin’s Creed could be Ubisoft’s best selling franchise to date. The numbers were recently released on Ubisoft’s website and revealed that the company had managed to sell about 73 million copies of the game to date, making it their best selling franchise in the world.

Ubisoft launched Assassin’s Creed back in 2007 where it debuted on the Sony PS3, the Xbox 360, and the PC. They went on to release multiple versions of the game where there were separate Assassin’s Creed titles made for mobile as well. In 2014 there are talks that not only could Ubisoft be releasing a new Assassin’s Cree game (Unity, which has since been confirmed), but two Assassin’s Creed game.

While Assassin’s Creed: Unity is designed for the latest consoles, the latter, codenamed Comet, is said to be designed for previous-gen consoles in mind. Unity is expected to see a release later this year and we can’t wait to see how the game will affect Ubisoft’s numbers.

In the past Ubisoft has stated that they plan on releasing a new Assassin’s Creed game on an annual basis, at least until gamers get bored of it. Some have questioned this strategy as they feel like it could dilute the franchise, but Ubisoft has stuck to their guns and has recently made a statement reiterating their commitment to annual Assassin’s Creed releases.

Speaking to Edge, Ubisoft’s VP of creative, Lion Raynaud, was quoted as saying that it would be stupid not to release a new Assassin’s Creed game every year. “We are able to offer people a new Assassin’s Creed every year because they want Assassin’s Creed every year. As long as this is true we would be very stupid to not satisfy this need, but it puts a lot of pressure on us to create something that will never disappoint.” (more…)

Video games are definitely fun to play, and from time to time, you might even wish that you could end up in the shoes of the game’s protagonist, wielding all the power as well as magic (in some titles) as you go about saving the world. For those who love the Assassin’s Creed storyline, there is nothing quite like working stealthily behind the scenes, and there is one particular signature weapon of the heroic Assassins – the deadly hidden blade. The next time you decide to cosplay Assassin’s Creed, you might want to make sure that you have the $39.99 Assassin’s Creed Hidden Blade Replica as part of your costume’s repertoire.

This signature weapon that has dealt death to many in the game looks like the real deal, until you realize that the “metal” is not actually metal upon touch. How does it work to extend its brand of realism to the world? A hairpin trigger gets the job done, and it is also good news that the Assassin’s Creed Hidden Blade Replica comes with a safety so that it will also prevent accidental instances of setting it off.
