Mit Assassin's Creed III hat Ubisoft die Geschichte rund um Desmond, aber natürlich nicht die Serie selbst abgeschlossen. Wie TGL berichtet, ist die Marketingabteilung des Herstellers schon eifrig dabei, Feedback für einen nächsten Teil einzuholen.

So will Ubisoft dem Vernehmen nach in einer Umfrage von den Teilnehmern wissen, wie groß die Bereitschaft wäre, einen im nächsten Jahr in den Handel kommenden AC-Titel zu erwerben. Auch will der Hersteller wissen, wie interessiert man denn sei an der Möglichkeit, dass ein zweiter Spieler jederzeit der Kampagne beitreten und aushelfen kann. Bis dato waren Umfragen oft zuverlässige Indikatoren geplanter Features - der AC3-Nachfolger kommt also vermutlich mit einem Koop-Element daher.

Update: Die Kollegen von Joystiq haben noch die restlichen Punkte der Umfrage zusammengefasst.
