Ubisoft is taking a break from Assassin's Creed for 2019

Published , by Brittany Vincent

Assassin's Creed will be taking something of a break in 2019, much to the delight of fans who have been asking that Ubisoft take some time away for some time.

Ubisoft head Yves Guillemot confirmed that the team would be stepping away a bit during Gamescom 2018, via GameSpot.

"We had a game and we have one this year, but we are not going to have a full-fledged Assassin's next year," he said. "It's just because the team was working separately, so we have two games now, one year after the other. But next year you're not going to have a fully-fledged one."

Assassin's Creed Odyssey will be launching just a year after Assassin's Creed Origins, which has had fans questioning whether it can maintain the quality and integrity the series has tried to keep up over the years. It's had some very obvious missteps over its lifetime, such as the debacle with Assassin's Creed Unity's various bugs and glitches when it released, so fans are hoping this won't be the case with rushing another game to retail as soon as possible.

But fans will still have plenty to look forward to when it comes to Assassin's Creed content later this year, as expansions for Odyssey are in the works.

"What you'll have is lots of content coming on [Odyssey]. The team really want to give, on a regular basis, some new possibilities for play, so when you get [Odyssey] this year, you're going to get in for a couple of years, actually."

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is headed to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on October 5.
