Ubisoft promised us a new and amazing chapter of Assassin's Creed in 2011. After the monotonous first release, no one was willing to bet anything for the future of what we hoped to become a succesful franchise, but it could stay in an ambitious attempt. The advent of Ezio Auditore saved many pitfalls and optimism reigned until the announcement of his unexpected and early return, which we interpret as the last straw unbelieving (literally) in the series.
Brotherhood has ended up being one of the best titles of the year, proof of delivery per year can not hurt (or not as much as we thought at first).
So, all eyes are already in the anticipated Assassin's Creed 3. A massively multiplayer online RPG?
If you remember, in 2008, Ubisoft acquired Massive Entertainment, responsible for the World in Conflict. None knew about this studio until they published an opportunity to work with them through their Twitter account; "Requesting minds to work in Assassin's Creed project" but, which one? AC3? AC:The Lost Legacy or maybe the MMORPG, because the Ubisoft employment site quoted precisely a similar development attached to Massive.
