New Assassin’s Creed game coming in 2014

Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot has confirmed a new protagonist for the new Assassin’s Creed game that should release sometime before April 2014. Totally surprising news right? I just hope they sit down and re-invent the formula in some way, since the existing one has become stale as hell. I could only take an hour of Assassin’s Creed III before I put it down out of sheer boredom. Sam, on the other hand isn’t quite as jaded as me and he rather enjoyed Connor’s first and last adventure.

Besides a new protagonist, Guillemot says the new Assassin’s Creed game will be handled by a new development team and it will take place in a new time period. Platforms were not mentioned, but given the game’s release date, it’s safe to assume the game will release on next gen platforms as well.
