Long-term planSix new Assassin’s Creed games? I don’t know what to say, other than the obvious of that seems a bit much. What worries me about these plans is that Ubisoft has already planned out six new games (well, four proper games and two mobile apps) and yet they have no idea how any of them are going to go over with fans.

I’m sure that’s just the reality of games development but what if people go wild for Mirage not having any role-playing features? What if Jade is super unpopular and everyone hates Assassin’s Creed Infinity? Maybe the horror game will prove an unexpected hit and they’ve got nothing to follow it up with because the next three games are already planned out to come after it?

I couldn’t help but think of that Dark Universe cinematic universe that was supposed to follow on from The Mummy. They had all these big plans, with all the films planned out and actors signed up. The only problem is no-one liked the first one and the whole thing ended up being scrapped.

I’m not saying that will happen with Assassin’s Creed Infinity, but it seems like opening yourself up to trouble, not to mention it feels more like a conveyor belt than ever. Which is probably unfair to the games themselves, some of which sound interesting.Dibble
