Ubisoft announces October 30 release for Assassin’s Creed III

Posted on February 15, 2012 by John Scalzo

No more spinoffs and no more side stories, Ubisoft has officially announced that Assassin’s Creed III will be available on October 30.

And if you’re looking for more information, you can keep looking, as a release date was all the publisher was willing to share. However, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot did have this to say:

“Assassin’s Creed 3 is the true next generation of both the Assassin’s Creed brand and interactive entertainment/storytelling in general.”

“[It will be] the biggest launch in Ubisoft history.”

“We will push the title a lot because it’s a fantastic product that the team has been working on for three years. What we have seen is just fabulous.”

PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions of Assassin’s Creed III are likely, but currently unannounced. An Assassin’s Creed game is also in the works for the Wii U, so don’t be surprised to see the third entry in the series on Nintendo’s next system as well.

Nintendo @ E3 11: Third party Wii U games include Tekken, Assassin’s Creed, a lot more

Posted on June 7, 2011 by John Scalzo

After playing a video showing some of the industry’s top developers singing the praises of the Wii U, Nintendo unveiled the third party lineup that’ll be available for the system:

  • Aliens: Colonial Marines
  • Darksiders II (which will be a launch title)
  • Dirt for Wii U
  • Metro: Last Light
  • Ninja Gaiden III: Razor’s Edge (working title)
  • Tekken for Wii U (with a stylus-powered character creator)
  • Batman: Arkham City (which elicited cheers from the crowd)
  • Assassin’s Creed for Wii U
  • Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online
  • Unnamed Electronics Arts games
  • Unnamed EA Sports games

So basically, every hot PS3 and Xbox 360 game is also in development for the Wii U. While BioShock Infinite wasn’t on the list, Irrational’s Ken Levine was included in the developer montage and seemed very impressed with the Wii U.

Whoa!
