While Assassin's Creed didn't start out as an annual franchise, the series has shifted to that formula over its lifespan because Ubisoft wants to keep fans happy.
In an amazing statement to Gamesbeat, Ubisoft reacted against People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals's comment that Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was "disgraceful" for including whaling in the historic pirate period piece.
With the disappointing news that Crysis 3 will not be headed for the Nintendo Wii U, at least fans of the console received decent news today. Polygon reports a 30 MB update has been added to its system software.
Though it was unceremoniously announced last week thanks to a host of leaks, Ubisoft has finally released the first details and images from Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.
The (not so) secret sequel Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag has already been announced for PC, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and Xbox 360, but it will also be coming to next generation consoles as well.
