Next Assassin's Creed title coming in 2014

The next iteration in the highly acclaimed Assassin's Creed franchise has been confirmed by Ubisoft, reports IGN. The French video game titan has also mentioned that it will feature a new protagonist, new time period and a new team working on the project as well.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said that the "all-new Assassin's Creed hero, within an all new team and time period" will be "another major leap forward for the franchise".

He further added, "It is the benefit of multiple teams working on multiple chapters of the product, each getting several years to make their versions of an Assassin's Creed game."

There is no word on which studio is going to develop the latest game in the franchise nor there are any details of whether or not it will be developed keeping in mind the next generation consoles.

Now that the word is out, we might expect Ubisoft to tease us with some possible game footage at E3 this year.
