Rumors of a new Assassin's Creed? Assassin's Creed Comet.

Rumors have surfaced from French website GameBlog that there is another Assassin's Creed game is in the works, it doesn't take place in Paris, and is planned for a PS3 and Xbox 360 release, which is great news for fans of the series who have not made the transition to the new gen. The game is said to be a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and will follow a templar named Shay who overthrows her Captain on the Atlantic Ocean.

The name of the game is rumored to be Assassin's Creed: Comet. The game would take place in 1758 New York and the last appearance of Halley's Comet was in 1759. It seems as if this game does come to life the templars have some interest in the comet and I'm excited for how this game could play out given the series success at reimagining historic events with its own twist.

Because it would be a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed IV Gamers would be able to continue sailing the seven seas which has been a high point in the series past two iterations, and hopefully Ubisoft can find a way to expand further upon the gameplay and give us something new again.

The Game returning to New York is exciting news as the game would be taking place roughly around the same time of events as Assassin's Creed III. I don't think we will end up teaming with Connor, but expect to see some familiar faces. Given the rumors are true hopefully with two new Assassin's Creed projects happening at once both won't suffer, but the series consistency over the past seven years will hopefully prove otherwise.
