Rough luck awaits for fans anticipating a Samurai Age-set chapter of the franchise!Managing director Jade Raymond has today hinted at the historical setting of Ubisoft Montreal's upcoming action-adventure video game Assassin's Creed V. Following on from the events of last Autumn's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, the latest instalment in the annual franchise will introduce a new member of the iconic Creed of killers, as well as continuing the present-day storyline involving the resurrection of a tyrannical goddess.
For the third time running in three consecutive years, then, we'll be moving to a different era of human history to explore the age-old Assassin-Templar conflict in greater detail. Where, or rather when, will that be? Ubisoft Toronto's Raymond obviously can't go into specifics ahead of the product's official reveal later this year (likely in May, but don't quote us on that until the announcement occurs), but she was still able to confirm one era in which the narrative will not be set. Although her Adweek interview doesn't offer her exact words, it paraphrases her as stating that ACV will not encompass Japan's Samurai Age, instead placing its narrative compass on what is apparently Raymond's favourite historical era. For more on the project, its storylines (both past and present) and its refined gameplay engine, keep it On-Screen in the weeks ahead!
Assassin's Creed V will ship for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Nintendo WiiU and PC in October.
