Ubisoft Quebec is the lead studio on a future Assassin's Creed title, Ubisoft announced in a blog post. Ubisoft Montreal traditionally heads up development of Assassin's Creed games, in partnership with other Ubisoft studios, including Quebec.
Ubisoft Quebec Managing Director Nicolas Rioux breaks down his studio's history with Assassin's Creed: "We were involved in Brotherhood. We were involved in Revelations. We were involved in Assassin's Creed 3."
"With AC 3 we were working on the biggest DLC for the franchise - The Tyranny of King Washington. After that we were also involved with Freedom Cry. We have the confidence of the brand team and also from Ubisoft to take leadership of an upcoming Assassin's Creed title. The team is ready for the next big step."
What this new game is remains to be seen. Might the Quebec-based studio be working on Assassin's Creed: Comet, the rumoured old-gen Assassin's game? Perhaps another mobile or handheld spinoff? We'll have to wait and see.
