Assassin's Creed Wii U title isn't Revelations

by Richard Mitchell on Jul 18th 2011 2:40PM

We may not know what the Wii U Assassin's Creed project will be, but at least we know what it won't be. According to Ubisoft head Yves Guillemot, it won't be Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

In an interview with Swedish site AftonBladet.se, Guillemot noted that the announced Wii U Assassin's Creed title is "not Revelations," but something for "the future." Of course, Guillemot's comments don't rule out the possibility of a Revelations port sometime in, you know, "the future."

The executive wouldn't confirm whether or not the currently announced AC title would be Assassin's Creed 3. For our part, we're imagining something like Raving Rabbids, only with hidden blades. In response to our own inquiries, a Ubisoft representative told Joystiq that the company doesn't have "any new information" regarding the Wii U Assassin's Creed project.

Actually, it's an Assassin's Creed turn-based JRPG.

No word on an North American release, though...

...wait, what?

I have bought every one on the 360 and some on PC but they are just cranking these games out and it may be losing some of it's charm. And yet still Brotherhood was a ton of fun so what else can I say.

Seeing as how Ubisoft has turned Assassin's Creed into a yearly franchise, I'm sure they'll have yet another game next holiday when the Wii U launches.

It also won't be AC 3 because Ubisoft is going to wait until they completely saturate the franchise before they "finish the "trilogy"".

@chuckharms

Too bad the original pioneers in the AC franchise, Jade Raymond and Patrice Desillets are gone. I think they had a distinct vision for the future of AC, and I hope that hasn't been lost...

@Shadowbender

isnt jade just in ubisoft toronto?

Revelations is the end of the Ezio saga, but I hope this isn't another spinoff of the character. Loved him in II, but he's overstayed his welcome, I think. This could be a game on early 20th Century Russian assassin Nikolai Orelov, from The Fall comics. He's just too good of a character to let go to waste. If not him, then I want to sidewinded by a surprise era. But it's only a matter of time before we enter the near-future assassin that Desmond's been training to be.

@Shadowbender

Is desmond even part russian? O.o

@Shadowbender

That would completely change the gameplay of the series into a completely different game. AC1 and AC2/Brotherhood are largely the same type of the game with the same basic gameplay. Jumping to 20th century Russia would change things too dramatically. Everyone would just have guns. I doubt they'd do that. They'll probably just go to feudal Japan or something.

Instead of Revelations you shall receive "Assassin's Creed Fitness Party U".

AC 3 plox.

Assassin's Kart Party 64?

@TRAVERSE
Just imagine: Chibi Ezio an Altair riding on carriages throwing little smoke bombs at each other. And if you run over three power ups, you unlock Eagle Vision which allows you to see those booby traps set by the nasty Cesare.
Oh yeah. Can't wait.

@Hayseboi I'd actually play that.

U assassin!

I know that the AC series gets a lot of praise (barely started on the 1st game myself). I'm thinking now that its becoming a yearly franchise, its going to get the same disdain as COD. Shame....

@nerdydesi1

But all the games have improved from iteration to iteration. Plus it's more of a serialized story with a central plot that is growing and continuing. I'm okay with getting more of the story each year.

@nerdydesi1

The worst part is you can already start to see the hate forming, just from seeing how a game has come out each year.

And yet everyone acknowledges that each game has gotten progressively better with each iteration, and revelations could very well continue that trend.

Oh, and for all we know, this might be the last AC to come out after one year, since Ubisoft IS basically reusing old assets to make their new games. It's obviously a lot easier to "improve" what you've already got than it is to usually start from the basics.

Assassins Creed: Another Crappy Port Edition

@Koming Damn dude you could've put a little more effort into it.

once again wii cant have a normal version of a triple a game unless its branded by nintendo

People are pretty stupid at times though.

First off: you cannot even begin to compare COD to AC, just because of yearly updates. Last time I checked, people enjoyed every Assassin's Creed game on consoles. And they've kept getting better. Brotherhood was amazing. And so far, there are only two that are in existence that are part of the whole yearly thing. And only one is out. They've all obviously got better from their predecessor, so why do you think they're "milking the franchise" only solely based on the fact that it comes out each year?

Fun fact:
Gap between AC's
AC 1-2 two years.
AC 2-Brotherhood one year
Brotherhood-Revelations one year

Once they change stories on which assassin it is, there's a bigger gap. Let them finish Ezio's story and then their will be a bigger gap for a new assassin.

/end rant

@Hayseboi

You're forgetting all the handheld entries. There was one on the DS, one or two on the PSP, and even one for mobile phones I think.

@Ospov

Most people didn't play them, they had very different gameplay, and they were done by different studios. They haven't affected the potential saturation at all. They honestly don't count.

@Ospov
I didn't forget, I specified only the console versions

They obviously want to use the shuriken thrower, like in the tech demo, so the AC for the Wii U is going to be a side story set in Japan. Assassin's Creed : Rise of the Iga Clan.

Assassin's Creed 3. Coming November 2012 for Wii U, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

I doubt it will be only for Wii U.

I don't care if it was Assassin's Creed: Every Game Ever One On Disc Edition! ... not a fan of AC. *gasp* I know, I'm not one of those """hardcore""" gamers.

The Biggest Assassin; The Killing Challenge.

That actually sounds like a butchered Japanese translation.

If it's not Revelations, it's probably just Assassin's Creed III or a remake of an older game. I highly doubt Ubisoft is going to sink money into an exclusive, original Assassin's Creed game if the system's hardware is basically the same as the 360 and PS3, two systems with far, far larger active installed bases than the Wii U will have for a long time, if ever.

lol - creed party, so funny! With jumping into the Hay minigames.

To be honest, I don't think they know how to make an AC3, and are trying to saturate it to avoid making.
Guns for one, would just turn it into a 3rd person shooter, No use for blades anymore.
And assuming its an NY type city, manhattan with it's skyscrappers would become useless to try and climb.

So since assassin is Arabic for "user of hashish", Im guessing getting stoned is a power up in this game, much like Mario and his mushrooms.
