Assassin’s Creed leak takes the spotlight away from Unity’s troubled launch

Assassin’s Creed: Unity has made headlines since its November release thanks to its numerous bugs and performance issues. But you don’t have to worry about that anymore, because we’re already starting to learn about the next major release in the franchise.

You already know that publisher Ubisoft is preparing another Assassin’s Creed for next year, but now, details are leaking out the game. Ubisoft is calling it Assassin’s Creed: Victory, according to the rumor that Kotaku first published. It is set in Victoria-era London, and Ubisoft’s Quebec team is leading development. While a big leak like this is interesting on its own, this one is especially peculiar since the most recent release in the series, Unity, only went on sale three weeks ago. But that game has not found a loving audience. Instead, it has a number of issues that have tainted the Assassin’s Creed name, and the Victory leak could end up drawing attention away from Unity’s mess.
