At Nintendo’s E3 2011 media briefing earlier today, Ubisoft teased a new Assassin’s Creed for the Wii U. Unfortunately, it was just a tease – literally nothing was said about the project.

It looks like that’ll be changing tomorrow, though. On a GameTrailers TV segment, Ubisoft’s CEO hinted that news will be shared tomorrow.

“During our live interview, Ubisoft CEO teased Assassins Wii-U news tomorrow night at third party roundtable.”

Nintendo is currently hosting a roundtable focusing on first-party developers and software. Tomorrow’s event, which takes place at 8:30 PM EDT, will feature third-party projects.
