My only guess would be "preference."
Beyond good and Evil, and Prince of Persia were fantasy-ish, I suppose. I'd like something more traditional elven/dwarves/horn people etc.
Same. I loved Assassin's Creed: Origins, and I think Ubisoft could create something really special in the high fantasy vein if they chose. And it's true, BGE2 is definitely space fantasy.
At the very least Ubisoft could do Splinter Cell Remastered. A collection of the first few games in HD. Seems like something cheap they could do to gauge fan interest.
The series is still kicking, it seems. So says Yves Guillemot But I'm thinking it's a fiscal 2020 game if anything.
Would love to see Conviction and Blacklist remastered.
Probably Watch Dogs 3 and something Tom Clancy. I hope to God it's Splinter Cell. After the success of Hitman, you have to think that a SC is around the corner.
Definitely expecting Watch Dogs 3 but im hoping that it's more darker like the first game as opposed to the second. Played the second game for a few hours and I was done.
Also fully expecting more expansions for AC Origins. Yves basically said that there will not be a new AC game this year which came after the release date announcement for RDR2 so it makes perfect sense. Stay away from October/November. Besides, give the next game an extra year. Would have no problem with Origins which was October 27th, 2017 and the next AC game being October 2019 and the third in the trilogy being in October 2021. Basically, three AC games in a span of four years.
Really hoping to see an announcement for a second expansion pass for Origins at E3. Two smaller ones like The Hidden Ones and then a massive one like The Curse of the Pharaohs. Not sure about the two small expansions but I would love one being released in September and the second small one being released in late January 2019 and the third and final one being in May 2019. The final one being massive and with Aya. 1/3rd of the expansion would take place in Egypt and the other 2/3rds would take place in Rome which would lead right into E3 2019 for the next AC game which im assuming will be Rome.
For release dates, im only expecting The Crew 2 this Fall with Starlink and Skull & Bones being February/March 2019 respectively and Watch Dogs 3 in May 2019 with the new AC game being October 2019. Just guessing with the release dates even though I can easily see Ubisoft staying away from October/November 2018.

I really think if Hitman is the benchmark for a new Splinter Cell game then we're shit outta luck. Hitman was a critical success, but its commercial viability was of a level that led to Square-Enix jettisoning the studio entirely and allowing them to retain the IP.
Unless Ubi has come up with a compelling way to import sneakin' into a GaaS model, then they must be looking at sales of Blacklist and, then, their only real competitor since as a trend.
Yeah I think it's totally weird that the absence of UbiArt framework game is going to hit 4 years on home consoles soon. Why even is that?
Child of Light and Valiant Hearts are such beautiful games and then I didnt even talk abot the Rayman games.
I think we're due for a game soon enough.
Yeah absolutely. Considering the smaller scope of these games the turn around should be quicker but I hope the delay is more of a creative decision in order to make something good.
UbiArt is such a great way for them to try something wholly original albeit on a much smaller scale. I loved the water colour aesthetics of CoL and I hope they keep that but I hope they don't force the game's entire narrative to be told in a rhyme. It felt corny at times so I'm not sure why they inforced a such constraint on themselves for the entirety of the game. Other than that, it was a beautiful and charming game.
I wonder what is the scale of the Switch game they are working on. It's likely to be revealed at E3 so it might be a big game.
We'll ubisoft is slowly dipping its toes in the switch pool so to speak. That they are even publishing Southpark TFBW on switch is telling. This is their first 18+/M game since they sworn of mature games on wiiu, so its a good sign. I hope we will see assassins creed next, not the old ones. As much as i love AC1/2/3/brotherhood/4, i already played them all and a majority of the gaming audience also.
one Assassins game i wouldn't mind is AC Rogue, that one got looked over because it was released pretty much the same month as AC unity. Its getting a remaster on ps4 and x1, and was kinda shocked that switch was not included from the get go but maybe after the summer.
Hopefully the Assassins Creed dlc is more like expansion packs like they were rumoured last year.
10 to 15 hours from one of the smaller teams and the main team is working on a true sequel for 2019.
I consider Brotherhood and Revelations more as expansion packs of AC2. If we get something like that I would be happy.

They could, but I'd rather not. Unless you wanna just take a shit on the lore to the extent that it might as well not be an LOTR game, that world is very limiting. There's not much magic in the classical sens, and war isn't really the point of those games.
They will probably make it simar to Watchdogs 1, but with more secret agent shenanigans and less 50 shades of Aiden Pierce. The Watchdogs IP seems to be headed into a more Youth Culture x Trickster stealth rather then the Lethal stealth of Splinter Cell and Watchdogs 1
WD3 is supposed to be in London.
But for sure I want all the side stuff they stripped from WD1 back, plus some new stuff.
Congrats. Most people actually don't live there, so London is fascinating to us. :) Not to worry though, since judging from this...
We won't be getting WD3 but the next Assassin's Creed. Sad face. I don't really care for another ancient times game. :(
London is bland compared to many big cities. Like it ain't bad, but it's thoroughly average. Even the weather is mediocre. It's just grey most of the time. I could see a thriller game working well here but an open world game akin to Watch Dogs in modern London is just not interesting.
Would love to see a new SC or PoP, but I seriously doubt we'll see either. Ubisoft isn't going to make any single-player games that aren't open-world. AC already covers the open-world platformer and Ghost Recon already covers the open-world military stealth-action.
Likely, you'd aim towards it being Watch Dogs 1 in tone, a cyberpunk, darker title.
Can't imagine a game with the scope of origins being annual. Unless they use the same location I guess.
AC Origins has really impressed me after being slightly sceptical due to the combat (lol at predator bow) and me assuming there would not be a lot of parkouring options in Egypt.
I was wrong. This is what the series needed. The world is amazing, and that is very impressive since a lot of games have amazing worlds these days. There is something about a real life historical place recreated that is just simply amazing.
I am still not sold on the combat, but it does the job.
And credit to them for making everything so streamlined. Always having a torch and being able to light other items, being able to sell unneeded loot with one button, fast travel, reda's quests, upgrades not tied to your look.
Yep I agree completely. I loved just exploring the world in Origins. I never even beat the main story but still ended up spending about 40 hours with the game just dicking around and soaking in the atmosphere. I should really update the game and try out the disovery tour mode, feels like it would be right up my alley.
Can't wait to see where they go next with the series.
At first I was messing around switching up side missions with main and generally exploring. But at a given point the story really picks up steam and I want to finish the main story, but I'm currently level 33, and the next main mission is 35 so that kinda killed the pace.
But I don't mind it too much, since I'm unlocking handy skills and still enjoying the game and it's world.
Wasn't this about Starlink game which they've announced back at E3'17?
The artstyle of Starlink sure looks like that and what other sci-fi game are they working on except Starlink ?
