MONTREUIL, France — Ubisoft revealed the time and setting of the newest Assassin’s Creed game earlier today, and the next installment in the long running franchise will apparently just let players go wild in modern day Times Square, sources have confirmed.
“You’re gonna be able to do anything you want to these people,” said director Stéphane Boudon. “All of the standard murder stuff, and then some truly sickening flourishes that we can’t even believe they’re letting us get away with. We’ve also toned the story down significantly in this next installment. There’s gonna be way, way less of it. We honestly haven’t even figured out why you’re going to be in New York City, 2023, but we’ll sort that all out pretty soon here. What’s most important is that fans have been asking for this version of Assassin’s Creed and we’re finally gonna give it a whirl.”
The untitled Assassin’s Creed project has sparked interest in many lapsed fans of the long running franchise.
“Man, I haven’t played an Assassin’s Creed since the pirate one,” said local gamer Cole Parker, who hasn’t played an Assassin’s Creed game since the pirate one. “But if you’re gonna let me walk around a photorealistic Times Square and let me see what sick shit I can pull off, well then, sign me up I guess. I hope they put in some dialogue where it makes it feel okay that you’re running around killing tourists and cab drivers and everyone else. But either way, I’m gonna go for it. Glad to see this franchise get back on track finally.”
As of press time, Ubisoft had revealed that the upcoming Times Square Assassin’s Creed game would be available in a special edition for pre-order, which includes the bonus option of playing during New Year’s Eve.
