'Assassin's Creed Victory' Set in 19th Century London, Grappling Hook Introduced

Prior to its release, "Assassin's Creed Victory" is already making noise as internal information leaks to the public. Late last year, it was revealed that 2015 "Assassin's Creed" will be set in 19th century London and will be available for release this fall for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Ubisoft, the major developer of the game, will utilize its Quebec team.

Kotaku revealed that the upcoming game will use Ubisoft's Anvil engine. The site revealed a seven-minute long video that shows an unknown character running through London. A new item – grappling hook – also suggests significant changes in gameplay.

Although there is no confirmation yet, an official statement by Ubisoft somehow gives credence to the report.

"It is always unfortunate when internal assets, not intended for public consumption, are leaked. And, while we welcome anticipation for all our upcoming titles, we're disappointed for our fans, and our development team, that this conceptual asset is now public," the developer's representative said.

The development studio confirmed that the Quebec team is working on the game, but they are keen on improving their existing titles.

"The team in our Quebec studio has been hard at work on the particular game in question for the past few years, and we're excited to officially unveil what the studio has been working n at a later date. In the meantime, our number one priority is enhancing the experience of 'Assassin's Creed Unity' for players," they stated.

Fans of the said game can expect more modern-day scenes. In a report published by GameSpot, lead writer Darby McDevitt said "we always plan to have more modern day but we have to be really smart about how we do it."

He shared that there are many challenges about making a new scene that they plan to incorporate in a game.

"To create a city, for instance, or even part of a city, would require six months of work by many, many artists, designers, modellers. And then you'd need gameplay systems that didn't feel like you were just fencing," he added.

"Assassin's Creed Victory" is expected to come out this fall.
