VG247 was tipped off about the LinkedIn profile of a 3D animator at Ubisoft Montreal which listed an unnamedAssassin’s Creedtitle with a date of 2010 next to it. The profile of Michael Donnell, since removed from the professional social networking site, listed experience on 2008’sPrince of Persiaas well as last year’s iteration ofAssassin’s Creed. In addition, it makes reference to anoft-rumored PS3 versionofSplinter Cell: Conviction.
It’s certainlypossiblefor Ubisoft to get another Templar-slaying title to market this year. Therecent revelationthat a thirdAssassin’s Creedwould again star Ezio and take place in Rome would suggest that a lot of the heavy lifting may have already been done with the last title. Whether quality might suffer is a different matter entirely, but I’m sure they’re keeping a close eye on this, being one of Ubisoft’s flagship properties.
Are you guys ready to run across rooftops and stab your hand through people’s heads again?
