When it was confirmed that there will be no Assassin’s Creed game in 2016, most assumed that the series would be taking a single year off. This may not end up being the case — and Far Cry may also be going away for longer than expected.
Speaking to IGN, Ubisoft VP of Editorial, Tommy François explained that both Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry were undergoing close scrutiny during development, with a very particular goal in mind:
"I’ll tell you what," François said, "We believe Alpha for these games needs to be one year before release. We’re trying to achieve that. That’s super f****** blunt, I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say this. This is the goal we’re going for: Alpha one year before, more quality, more polish.
