You don't know what you're missing: Ubisoft delays 'unannounced franchise' (Anno, too)

by James Ransom-Wiley { Oct 23rd 2008 at 12:54PM }

Reporting its sales for the fiscal half-year today, Ubisoft also announced two software delays. "In view of the good first-half trends and the positive outlook for the third quarter, Ubisoft has decided that Anno as well as the as-yet unannounced franchise which were previously scheduled to be released in 2008-09 will now bolster the line-up for 2009-10," reads a release schedule update from the report. To be clear, Anno and "Unannounced Franchise" are likely two unrelated projects -- the former a strategy game set in 1404 and the latter, well, that's anyone's guess.

The vague articulation of the mystery delay leaves the details open to speculation. Is this a new franchise? Or a new entry in an existing franchise? We'll update when we've got clarification.

no...lol.

this guy doesnt talk crap about people on Live and gets his ass handed to him.

he's just a mid 90's rapper (same time as Nas if you know him)

just thought it funny that they used his album cover. (it works perfectly for this article though)

Nah, you not alone. I been a Mega fan for a long time. Got to meet the guy and interview him when I went to Howard U. Real cool laid back dude.

I'm gonna guess Assassin's Creed 2

It says unannounced FRANCHISE. Assassin's Creed is already a franchise.

QBs finest!

I want to know what's going on with Beyond Good & Evil 2. I heard about it, then it died, and now nothing.

I hope it's not Red Steel 2 (which was kinda announced for this winter) because I really enjoyed the first one (after looking beyond the sloppy controls and some general design flaws).

...Or perhaps I DO hope it's RS2, as they might get some time to polish the game some more.

Yay!
