Ubisoft 2012 Release Schedule Features Assassin’s Creed III

Ubisoft just announced their confirmed 2012 lineup of games, which includes the unannounced Assassin’s Creed III and Splinter Cell: Retribution.

Ubisoft previously confirmed it’s planning a ‘major’ Assassin’s Creed release for this year, and the game’s development team has said it will star a new character.

Most of which are slated for release on all current generation consoles and the PC. They are as follows:

• Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 (PS3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows)
• Far Cry 3 (PS3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows)
• I Am Alive (PS3, Xbox 360)
• Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (Xbox 360, PS3, Microsoft Windows)
• Ghost Recon Online (Microsoft Windows, Wii U)
• Splinter Cell: Retribution (PS3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows)
• Prince of Persia (Wii, 3DS)
• Assassin’s Creed III (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Microsoft Windows)
• Just Dance Final Party (Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation Move)

Hopefully, Ubisoft will release additional information about Assassin’s Creed III at some point before the end of Ubisoft’s fiscal year on March 31.

UPDATE:

Ubisoft said in a statement issued to MCV: “We’re thrilled and kind of amused to see this line-up news. It shows that players are anxious to hear about Ubisoft’s upcoming releases. This reported line-up is inaccurate.

“We guarantee you that you’ll hear directly from us soon about the amazing variety of games Ubisoft has slated for fiscal year 2012-13,” it added.

We didn’t expect anything but a denial of the release schedule’s accuracy from the publisher, but I’m still not convinced it’s being completely honest.

Assassin’s Creed III (title unconfirmed) will release during the 2012 holiday season for PC, PS3 and Xbox360
