A new episode of Assassin's Creed will be released in Ubisoft's next fiscal year, which runs between April, 2010 and March 2011, the publisher confirmed today.
And if that shockingly quick series turn around doesn't surprise you (Assassin's Creed II was released in November - this is undoubtedly being handled by a separate team) the new game is confirmed to be the first franchise entry to include online multiplayer.
The 2010-11 fiscal year will see a greater number of franchise releases than in 2009-10, including Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction, a new game in the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon series, Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands, Driver, Raving Rabbids 4 and a new episode of Assassin's Creed, which will be the first in the series to have an online multiplayer mode, the company said.
So Assassin's Creed III or an online spin-off? We're definitely thinking spin-off. Surely Ubisoft couldn't push out a third game this quickly... could it?
