According to Examiner sources who are said to be close to the projects have said that there is one game being developed for the PS4 and Xbox One whilst another is being developed for PS3 and Xbox 360.

It is claimed that the franchise “is under a massive re-scope” but there has been no comments from Ubisoft on the matter. There has also been no talk about how the PC or Wii U platforms would fit in.

Last month Ubisoft spoke about how important it is to keep supporting the PS3 and Xbox 360 and not abandon it for next-gen.

“For a game like Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, most of the sales are still going to be on current generation platforms. We can’t make a version for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One that’s so wildly different that we can’t market them together.

“So, for now, developers and designers are focused on making a game that works really well on all of the systems – but as we transition resources to the next gen, it’s going to be more difficult to do that because the power of these machines is going to allow so much more creativity.”
