"I don't think there's going t' be an Assassin's Creed in 2011," Ubisoft associate producer Jean-Francois Boivin told Eurogamer. "I think we be going t' let it breathe a bit 'n really focus on bringing something new 'n exciting for the next time around."

Since the release a Assassin's Creed 2, we've seen the release a three Assassin's Creed games, with two more on the way. Boivin seems justified in being concerned with franchise fatigue, even citing the case a music games like Guitar Hero, whose releases Activision has pledged t' curtail.

"Honestly, I think for the benefit a everybody - 'n business can come back 'n override everything I say because at the end a the day it be about selling games," Boivin said, "I believe that this license needs a breather. ye can't plough a field every year. Once every three years - or once every something - ye have t' let it breathe." We think he's right about one thing -- that the corporate side a the company can override even the best creative decision t' sell some games. Which be exactly what's going t' happen in 2011.
