At the rate Ubisoft is releasing Assassin’s Creed games, we’re sure many are worried that the franchise might get too diluted and that gamers will get sick of the game pretty fast. While we’re sure that some gamers are a little bored of the franchise, Ubisoft does not seem too worried about fans getting tired of the franchise. Speaking to Eurogamer, Ubisoft seems to be under the impression that if and when fans tire of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, they will let Ubisoft know. Until then, Ubisoft has no plans to stop the yearly releases of Assassin’s Creed games.

According to Ubisoft Montreal head, Yannis Mallat, he claims that there are more players coming into the franchise and he does not see the day where Ubisoft has to end the franchise anytime soon.  ”When you have quality content, the frequency of coming out with the game is not an issue at all. On the contrary, people expect more and more of that content. So, it’s natural to be able to provide that content. The gamers are happy, and it’s our job to make them happy.” What do you guys think? Do you agree with Mallat that it’s the quality and not the frequency that matters? Or are you sick of the franchise already?

The Betrayal – a name that is more often than not associated with those who walk in the corridors of power, but this time around it has a whole lot less to do with politics, and leans more towards the side of gaming. Assassin’s Creed 3, a game that has already picked up its fair share of bouquets from the gaming masses, has just received The Betrayal, which is the second chapter in the game’s The Tyranny of King Washington single-player DLC series.

The Betrayal is made available via PSN, and here goes the background story. Trapped in captivity by the vicious King Washington, Ratonhnhaké:ton has to do his bit and summon all ingenuity to free himself and look for assistance in overthrowing Washington’s ruthless machinations. Just like the Power of the Wolf, Power of the Eagle also has a couple of different uses, where it lets Ratonhnhaké:ton soar from one location to another quickly and invisibly as a ghostly eagle, as well as the offensive Eagle Strike that lets you power dive into a foe.

There’s no doubt Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed 4 is already a highly-anticipated game even after being announced just a few weeks ago. We know we can expect there to be a lot of pirates, naval combat and even a healthy dose of whaling. With how much content we can already expect in the game, it’s no wonder to hear Ubisoft is tapping seven different studios to help create the game.

Yes – you read that right. Ubisoft has seven different development studios helping with Assassin’s Creed 4. The company usually had one rather large team within one studio handling all of the work for the next Assassin’s Creed game. Assassin’s Creed 4 will be developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Kiev, Quebec and Signapore, who will handle the game’s main campaign. Ubisoft Sofia will handle the modern day scenarios, while Ubisoft Annecy and Bucharest will work on the game’s multiplayer.

Having several studios working together to produce an Assassin’s Creed game will hopefully result in a memorable game when it’s released later this year. Which reminds me, I really need to play through Assassin’s Creed 3 if I’m ever to keep up with what goes on in Assassin’s Creed 4.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag was announced towards the end of February and is slated for a release on the 31^st of October, but thanks to the folks at All Games Beta, they have managed to get their hands on a screenshot that shows a new title, “Assassin’s Creed: Rising Phoenix”. Given that Black Flag will be Ubisoft’s latest title in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, many are wondering what Rising Phoenix could be about. Some are speculating it might be a comic book, while others think that maybe it could even be a film, but either way according to the picture, it says that it is for internal use only.

Of course there is a chance that this could be some prototype game that Ubisoft worked on but never released, or it could be a spin-off like Brotherhood or Revelations which seems more likely. In any case Ubisoft hasn’t had much luck with curbing their leaks so far, so hopefully they will step forward with additionaldetails in the near future. In the meantime what do you guys think Rising Phoenix could be about?

Just yesterday Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag was announced. This was hot on the heels of the leaked poster that revealed the existence of the game. According to the official announcement, Black Flag will be released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U, but what about upcoming consoles like the PlayStation 4 or Microsoft’s rumored Xbox 720? Will they be getting a shot at Black Flag as well? Well thanks to the countdown page, a release date might have let out of the bag a bit earlier than expected, putting the release date for the game for the 29^th of October and according to the text, it will be available for next-gen consoles as well.

Navigating to the countdown page now will just show you a page where the world premiere trailer will kick off in 4 days’ time, but we guess there was a bug earlier that allowed viewers to skip past that page to show off the release date. Fortunately for Ubisoft the trailer was not leaked, but we guess we know have a date to look forward to. Hopefully that will be the date Ubisoft will be sticking to, but we guess we will have to wait 4 days in order to confirm that, so check back with us then for the trailer and additional details.
