According to rumors, Ubisoft is looking to release the next Assassin’s Creed game on the Nintendo Switch and that it will launch at the exact time as the PS4 and Xbox One versions.
The suggestion follows a recent video by OBE1plays on YouTube. Discussing recent comments that suggest that open world games will be great on the Switch, the YouTuber says that it would be nice to see the Assassin’s Creed franchise take advantage of the new console’s technical prowess.
Journalist Laura Kate Dale, who’s responsible for several leaks, as well as the information about a Dark Souls 3 Nintendo Switch port, then backed this up. In two different tweets, the journalist says that Ubisoft is actually aiming to bring the next Assassin’s Creed game to the Nintendo Switch and that the company is looking to release the game at the same time as the PS4 and Xbox One versions.
Although this is just a rumor for now, Ubisoft has teased earlier that it is working on a ‘surprise’ Nintendo Switch game. The company has also praised Nintendo in multiple occasions for what it’s doing with the Nintendo Switch, indicating that it wants to support the console in a big way. Could that support include its hugely popular stealth series to the console as well?
Assuming that Ubisoft really is working on a Switch version of the forthcoming game it’s still unknown what the Switch version – or any version of the game for that matter – might feature. Early speculation suggested that the next Assassin’s Creed will be set in Egypt, although a lot of fans voiced their support for a game set in the African country, Ubisoft has yet to confirm the setting. In addition, Ubisoft has promised that the next Assassin’s Creed will be ‘less scripted’ and there’s also the suggestion that next series entries will feature the Animus from the movie Assassin’s Creed.
After the complaints from fans that previous Assassin’s Creed games had grown stale and that the franchise’s story no longer makes sense, any shake up will be welcomed. Big changes to how the series does things, besides a fresh new platform for it to release on, could get fans pretty excited for the franchise all over again.
