Tags

Assassin's Creed 5 release date is still a long way off, but there's news that should make gamers salivate in anticipation. Ubisoft is bringing out all its biggest guns, pooling more developers to team up for the project.

A total of ten studios are collaborating for the next installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise. The Ubisoft studios in Montreal, Toronto, Singapore, Quebec, Annecy, Shanghai, Chengdu, Kiev, Montpellier, and Bucharest make up a powerhouse combination, and are expected to deliver the best in development.

The Assassin's Creed 5 release date, to be announced, will have a working title of Assassin's Creed Unity; it's a step up for Ubisoft, given the setup of the previous installment. Assassin's Creed: Black Flag was a collaboration of seven studios. Ubisoft is an umbrella company of 29 studios worldwide.

A published document confirms the release is set for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Surprisingly, the rumors of a PS3 and Xbox 360 title were not confirmed. It is speculated that an Assassin's Creed Comet is simultaneously being developed for the previous generation of consoles.

With 9,200 people working in teams worldwide, Ubisoft's priority is on game development, with 7,800 people working on projects. The company declines comment on the actual number of people ensuring the Assassin's Creed 5 release date pushes through (gamespot.com).

A guesstimate of the release date, Assassin's Creed Unity is expected to be released in time for the holidays, on the next-gen consoles and on the PC. Details of the game's plot, characters, and dynamics are yet unknown, but gamers expect the title shouldn't deviate from the mechanics that made previous installments successful.

The game's story is set during The French Revolution, and that's about it. Ubisoft has other titles under development, including The Division, with a release date pushed further to 2015. The Assassin's Creed 5 release date may be announced at this year's E3 event.
