4chan Rumor: No Assassin's Creed in 2016, 2017 in Egypt, Witcher inspired [Update]

its amazing how they refuse to do the obvious japan one, with the excuse being that...its too obvious? I would understand if the game was saturated with ninja games, but what was the lat one? Tenchu? at least the last one that would be similar to what a AC in japan would be

Since CDPR themselves used "Souls-inspired combat" when promoting Witcher 3, just look at it as a passing of the torch.
On topic, this smells fishy, but would be great news if true. The poster said they would answer questions, though; did they?

I hope this doesn't mean Witcher 3 combat. Literally the worst.

Let's wait until we see what it exactly is. Sounds better then anything they have created since ac2.
Bullshit. Even if there's gonna be a huge revamp of the series in 2017 there's no way they won't have an AC out this year. Ubi has more than enough studios under it to make one. They can scrap together a decent one like Rogue while having the main development focus be on the next year.

Still waiting for my feudal Japan Assassin's Creed, Ubi...
I'm fine with a one year break, it's a good thing even, but ditching the parkour system entirely? It's like having a GTA where you can't drive.
Also, "Witcher feel" means jack shit.
Witcher is basically the same thing Mass Effect, Dragon Age and all those western RPGs were like, just done better.
It's nothing peculiar or new in any way.

If Witcher 3 has Souls-inspired combat then I have a Chris Evans-inspired face.

This would be pretty decent for me. Port over all the last gen games in a collection and use it like MS did with Halo MCC to keep the series on people's minds.
By that same token it's also a good place to have someone dump a load of bullshit and have people buy it because there have been some cases of that stuff being legit
I'd take it with a grain of salt

4chan rumour? Really?

Even the Witchers awful combat would be an upgrade on AC's broken combat. 9 major games and they still never fixed it. They should just bite the bullet and steal the Arkham freeflow system.

I find this unlikely. Especially it playing like The Witcher. Ubisoft isn't going to abandon its open world formula just like that. It's the only reason they can pump those games out annually. Collect 50 this and 80 that is much easier than meaningful side stories which TW3 had. Though I gotta say that Syndicate's side quests were much better than those in Unity.

I saw this earlier. Didn't make a thread because it's 4chan. Not exactly credible.
Really hard to believe.
They were saying stuff like boats will be back but are meant for exploration and that the world is bigger than AC4's but entirely seameless<----actually how he spelled it.
Really hard to believe.

Meh. I liked Assassin's Creed Syndicate a lot, I wouldn't mind a similar game in 2016. It's much better than the previous games.
I've only read the link in the OP but it doesn't mention ditching the parkour.
I'd like this leak to be true but do video game leaks on 4chan ever turn out true?
New Splinter Cell with Ironside back

After Syndicate, I'm willing to trust whatever they have planned next.

Haha, I don't think so, but I am all for a new Spliner Cell game.
No attachment to Ironside, though

Ubisoft of all companies will not let pass the chance to get a movie and a new game the same year, is a big PR opportunity and this year's AC should be the one done by the Black Flag core team, they had plenty of time to make something good.
Very skeptical about this.

Considering how successful The Witcher 3 was critically and commercially...I think there will be a number of games in the coming years that will aim for a "Witcher feel".

Why? 50% of us want the next GoW to be in Egypt and the other 50% in Norway! It was a sidestep
