The next 'Assassin's Creed' game looks set to be released in 2017.
Assassin's Creed Unity
SegmentNext reports that Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot has said the game, which is rumoured to be called 'Assassin's Creed Empire', is "coming along nicely".
However, he previously said that they want to spend as much time as possible perfecting it because they believe it has the potential to "go to the next level".
He said: "What we saw in the development of the next [Assassin's Creed] was that we had an opportunity to take it to another level. So we said we'll take all the time it takes to make the experience fantastic. It was feasible because we have other games. There's a huge potential in this game to revolutionise the IP, so we said, 'Let's make sure we change our model so we have more time and that we can bring back a greater experience.'"
The next game in the series, which is an adaptation of the movie starring Michael Fassbender, will feature the Animus seat.
The star himself recently revealed: "For ages, we were like what are we going to do with the Animus? At one point I thought of this idea where we'd be in a fluid tank, almost like a womb. But what the guys came up with is fantastic. Ubisoft are talking about putting it in their future games."
However, Fassbender admitted he isn't familiar with the original game himself.
He added: "We started in 2011. I sat down with the guys from Ubisoft, and they introduced me to this whole universe. I'd seen billboards and trailers, but I'd never played the game."
