Assassin’s Creed Design Director: Annual Release Is Optimal

A few days ago, Ubisoft's Alexandre Amacio revealed that Assassin's Creed would forgo the annual release schedule it has adopted till now after the release of its upcoming Assassin's Creed: Revelations. However, this decision might not be final as the game's mission design director thinks that the annual release cycle is the best.

"The production cycle is less than a year, which actually for me is about ideal," Assassin's Creed: Revelations mission design director Falco Poiker said.

Poiker revealed that the real reason behind reconsidering the release cycle is internal discontent. "But a lot of people complain about that, I mean I'm talking internally - people say there's not enough time."

Still, Poiker believes that having time pressure is actually in favor of the creative development process.


"Frequently those games will restart completely from the ground-up because they're like, 'We're not satisfied where we are.' We don't have that luxury so the time actually kind of works in our favor. We go one direction and we go with it. If there're problems, oh well, we'll fix it along the way."

Assassin's Creed: Relevations Will be released on November 15th, exactly one year minus one day after the launch of its predecessor, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

same shit different name

The original was good, but the sequels are the same old shit, does the developer not know that people do not want to play the same thing time & time again? Having said that EA roll out the same shit every year and people keep buying there games, take FIFA, I think next year they should allow a simulation scandal where the player gets to tap a girl or another footballers wife, for that added realism *lol EA games take note.....
