Four Ubisoft studios working on Assassin’s Creed III
Four different Ubisoft development studios are contributing to Assassin’s Creed III. We already heard about Annecy working on the game’s multiplayer, but Montreal, Quebéc City, and Singapore are involved as well. Ubisoft Montreal is the main developers behind the project.
Assassin’s Creed III creative director Alex Hutchinson isn’t willing to discuss Québec’s role with the title for now:
“Annecy is still doing an evolution of the multiplayer. There’re a few things that are being done in the Québec studio. So there’s an evolution there. We cannot talk about specifically what they are working on.”
Hutchinson also commented on how Ubisoft Montreal has been focusing on Assassin’s Creed III for well over two years:
“80 percent of our team have come through from AC1, AC2. A lot of them didn’t do ACB or ACR ’cause they were working on AC3. The turnover has actually been scarily low for a franchise that’s been going for seven years. You still have the same lead writer who wrote the first words on AC1, you have the same guy doing the navigation that did AC1.”
“At its core, it is a Ubisoft Montreal game. The thing with other studios is that they have different skill sets. At the end of the day, it’s what makes it sometimes harder to manage the game, but it also makes the game richer.”
