Ubisoft: Fans Want Yearly Assassin's Creed Release

Ubisoft Montreal CEO Yannis Mallat feels as long as Assassin's Creed remains high quality, gamers will return for more annually.

With Assassin's Creed IV sailing onto consoles sooner than many had expected, just over a year after Assassin's Creed III, it left some fans questioning whether the forthcoming release could sustain the quality of the past games if produced in a short space of time. Could Assassin's Creed see a new release on a yearly basis?

Mallat feels that "the frequency of coming out with the game is not an issue at all" and that gamers "expect more and more of that content. So it's natural to be able to provide that content. The gamers are happy and it's our job to make them happy."

Will the Assassins' Creed audience become turned off with too many installments? "No. The players will tell us. Right now there are more and more coming into the franchise, so I don't see that day."
