If you recall, last year’s Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was a cross-generation title that was released for the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U as well as the next-generation PS4 and Xbox One. But last week, Ubisoft revealed that the next game in the series, Assassin’s Creed: Unity, is only in development for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. So what’s a PS3/Xbox 360 owner to do this Fall when they’re itching to play a new Assassin’s Creed game? According to a report on Kotaku, they should play Assassin’s Creed: Comet.
Assassin’s Creed: Comet is said to star a sailor named Shay, a Templar who took part in a mutiny against his captain in the year 1758. The “Comet” in the game’s title likely refers to Haley’s Comet, which passed by Earth in 1759. Once Shay is on his own, Kotaku’s source states he will be able to sail along the Atlantic coast and into New York, where he will interact with Assassin’s Creed III‘s Haytham Kenway and Freedom Cry‘s Adewale.
Ubisoft has refused to comment on Kotaku’s report, but perhaps we’ll learn more about Assassin’s Creed: Comet (and Unity) soon.
