Yes, Ubisoft is working on a new Assassin’s Creed.

Following the huge success of Assassin’s Creed III, the new game will be made by an “all new team”. Fans will be able to experience a previously-unexplored time period with a new hero. Ubisoft believes it will “be another major leap forward for the franchise”.

During Ubisoft’s latest financial call, CEO Yves Guillemot teased that there will be “More details to come very soon.”

The next Assassin’s Creed will launch during fiscal year 2014 – meaning before April 2014.

Pier Solar and the Great Architects has been confirmed for Wii U. We don’t know when it’s coming, but the team is hard at work on the project.

One of the game’s developers, Gwénaël “Fonzie” Godde, discussed what it’s like working with the Wii U system:

“Although the main game logic in modern platforms share the same code, some features are exclusive to each platforms. Wii U has many interesting features and we want to be able to make good use of them. Hopefully, it will be a great surprise.”

Pier Solar will make use of the GamePad’s various features, according to Tulio Goncalves:

“Yes of course. Wii U feels like a ‘TV version’ of Nintendo DS, and as we’ve seen in the handheld, many possibilities can be explored. However, we’ve got to be careful when designing those functionalities. As everyone knows, one of the great features of Wii U is the ability to switch gameplay from the TV to the Wii U controller screen; in that case it has to behave just like as if you were playing with the regular controller, so those functions have to be non-vital functions to the game.”

Pier Solar is heading to Wii U… but could we ever see it on the 3DS eShop? Goncalves and Fonzie commented on the possibility:

Tulio: The 3DS resolution doesn’t favor the original resolution and aspect of the SD version of Pier Solar. If a port gets made it will be the HD version scaled to 3DS resolution.

Fonzie: Either way, having PS HD in 3DS would be great. However, first we must focus on all the platforms that we announced on Kickstarter. We have lots of motivation but we’re still a small dev team!

And last but not least, Fonzie discussed WaterMelon’s future projects:

“We are working on a few other projects at the moment through the Magical Game Factory. We got one Mega Drive beat ’em up and RPG project and one Super Nintendo action-adventure project, as well as few surprises!”

I’m amazed that the cast actually has a pretty decent knowledge/appreciation of video games – more on the classic side, but there’s nothing wrong with that! And Sarah Silverman sounds like a pretty big GoldenEye fan…
