The latest installment to the Assassin Creed video game series from Ubisoft is coming to the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One, and the PC towards the latter part of the year.
“Assassin’s Creed Victory” is the ninth game in the historical fiction action-adventure open world stealth video game series that follows the successful launch of “Assassin’s Creed Unity” and “Assassin’s Creed Rogue in November last year.
When Ubisoft launched “Assassin’s Creed Unity” in November, it had some numerous bugs and glitches that it was actually met by criticisms from fans and gamers that prompted the Canadian-based game developer to release patches containing fixes.
The developer kept mum on its latest video game “Assassin’s Creed Victory” so much so that when a seven-minute gameplay footage of the game was leaked to the internet recently, fans and gamers got dismayed with Ubisoft for keeping them in the dark as regards the future plans for the game.
Not intended for public
Ubisoft subsequently issued a statement early this week to state that the gameplay footage leaked to the internet was not for public consumption.
It said that it was unfortunate that internal assets of the company were leaked because the development team was working very hard on the title for the past few years. Ubisoft said that it was planning to unveil the game at a later date and make the announcement official to fans and gamers but unfortunately the leakage beat them to the draw, notes Venture Capital Post.
However, now that the word is out on “Assassin’s Creed Victory,” Ubisoft said that it will still continue working on finetuning the game to ensure that it would be able to enhance the experience of players who have made the “Assassin’s Creed” series part of their video gaming fare.
“Assassin’s Creed Victory” will be the only video game that will be officially released by Ubisoft this year, not counting of course the delayed release of “Assassin’s Creed Rogue” on the PC in Europe and Asia which only rolled out this month.
London setting
The leaked gameplay footage of “Assassin’s Creed Victory” also revealed that the setting of the latest open-world stealth video game is 19th century London. One scene actually showed the assassin climbing up a tower and looking out at the city of London.
The assassin eventually leaps down to the street and runs to a nearby horse carriage where he eventually accepted a mission from a masked woman. The assassin mission was to liquidate Roderick Bulmer, a child trafficker for an enemy. The mission and the action begin from there.
While Ubisoft already admitted to the leaked gameplay footage, it has yet to release an official statement to specify the exact release date for the “Assassin’s Creed Victory” on the next gen gaming consoles and the PC towards the latter part of this year. But it is likely that November 2014 would be its ideal release date to take advantage of the Holiday shopping spree.
