New Assassins Creed Game To Be Revealed On May 12th

An announcement trailer for the announcement of an announcement. It’s all so very Ubisoft isn’t it. Well, the French publisher has done just that, announcing a reveal of the next Assassin’s Creed title, set to take place on Tuesday, May 12th. at 5pm BST.

We’ve got a teaser image and a short trailer to go on so far, which doesn’t give away much, as you’d expect. A previous leak outed this year’s outing as Assassin’s Creed Victory, set in Victorian London, but rumours are abound the name has been changed to Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate.

The trailer download Ubisoft sent over was called ACS, pointing heavily to AC: Syndicate. While not much can be gathered from the teaser, it looks like the protagonist will get access to a new cane weapon, all the better for strolling those Victorian streets.

Last we’d seen of Assassin’s Creed Victory / Syndicate, it was set in Victorian London and featured a grappling hook for rapidly climbing buildings, and combat set atop stagecoaches. We'll have all the juicy details come Tuesday.

What are you hoping for from Assassin's Creed Syndicate? Does the anticipated Victorian setting pique your interest?
