Ubisoft Europe MD Alain Corre has said that he believes the next title in the Assassin's Creed series will "surprise everybody", but that he's still confident that it will prove to be a "big success".
Talking to GamesIndustry.biz, Corre said:
"For next year we have announced a few weeks ago that we've got a new Assassin's Creed game - the next iteration that will surprise everybody - and we believe that will be a big success as well.

But what Assassin's Creed title is Corre talking about exactly? Well, judging by his comments, it would seem to suggest the multiplayer-enabled new episode, due for release between April 2010 and March 2011. Many believe the title to be a spin-off.
But could Corre actually be talking about Assassin's Creed III?
Assassin's Creed II released in November last year and has since sold in excess of six million units. A DLC pack for the game is available to download now on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
