Next year’s ‘Assassin’s Creed’ leaked. Set in Victorian London.

Assassin's Creed - Victory

Man, UbiSoft. Can you catch a fucking break? First you ship AC: Unity which is apparently BROKEZ AS FUKK. Then the whole debacle with The Crew. And now your AssCreed of 2015 gets leaked? Woof. That said? It looks pretty fucking froggy fresh.

Next Year’s Big Assassin’s Creed is Set in Victorian London

Next year’s Assassin’s Creed game will take place in London during the 19th century, Kotaku has learned. Farewell, Napoleon; hello, Jack the Ripper?

This new entry in Ubisoft’s annual open-world action series, slated for release in the fall of 2015, will take us through the dirty back alleys and rattling stagecoaches of London during the Victorian era, a historical period that fans have wanted to see in an Assassin’s Creed game for quite some time now. This new Assassin’s Creed game is called or code-named Victory—like Victorian!—and it will be out next year for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, according to a person familiar with the game.

Victory is something of a shift for the series in a few ways. For one, this is the first Assassin’s Creed game helmed by Ubisoft’s Quebec studio, as opposed to their primary Montreal office, which has led development on the biggest Assassin’s Creed releases since the first game in 2007. Earlier this year, the Ubisoft Blog teased that Quebec would be heading up a future game in their annualized series, but they didn’t say much more about it. This is that game.

Of course, just about every major Ubisoft game is developed by teams of hundreds that work across all of their studios across the world, from Canada to China. But it’s significant to see an Assassin’s Creed game led by a new team. Ubisoft Quebec also developed downloadable content for Assassin’s Creed III (The Tyranny of King Washington) and Assassin’s Creed IV (Freedom Cry).

We also hear that this will be the only main Assassin’s Creed next fall—unless something changes, we won’t see two separate entries like we did this year with Unity and Rogue, according to a person familiar with goings-on at the company. Next year, Assassin’s Creed is sticking to current-gen platforms and seemingly leaving the Xbox 360 and PS3 behind.
