Ubisoft’s Second Assassin’s Creed Game This Fall Also Skipping Wii U

There will be two Assassin’s Creed games coming this Christmas to consoles. The first is Assassin’s Creed Unity which is coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The second is currently known as Assassin’s Creed Comet, which Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot says will be coming to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 this fall. Ubisoft also announced Far Cry 4 yesterday which is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

  1. And please can be the last we hear of that awful franchise Assassin’s Creed here! At least until the day that an Assassin’s Creed for a Nintendo console is announced.

  2. Is UBI publicly confirmed that the game will not come to the Wii U?
    I ask you, or you conclude that themselves. We need to wait and see if E3 is the UBI withdrew from Nintendo, or is it only in secret as well as with COD ghost.

      1. The CEO says “Comet” is for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but never said that this game will not come to Wii U! So cool, so the final decision!

        1. It’s Ubisoft, they would have said if it’s coming to Wii U. I’m crossing my fingers, but with the Far Cry 4 cross gen announcement I’m not holding much hope :(

          1. UBI would say, but Nintendo does not allow them to say before E3. The same was true with the COD. They stated that they can not tell whether the CoD coming to the Wii U or not, some ask Nintendo. At the end of the game coming to Wii U! There is hope for all the games, take it easy!

                I’m so glad you know exactly what I buy for my Nintendo console, troll. I guess I’m not a Nintendo fan because I DO buy 3rd party games for my Nintendo consoles… when they are actually worth a damn. You have us Nintendo fans confused with the fanboys.

  3. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

    Good ridance, the more biased they are, the less I want their garbage…

    Watch Dogs denied now aswell by me…

    1. don’t comment, you don’t own a wii u, you defend it, and yet do not support it yourself, go away

        1. acutally i do, add me you worthless piece of shit “Novione” is my name on it, you motherfucking degenerate

            1. prove that, i’m not even familiar that i’m that guy…i doubt he ever said my miiverse username, because it’s mine, so what’s the deal here

                  1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

                    Not even close. Stop arguing with yourself and get off the internet until common sense comes back to you…
                    If that will ever happen.

                    1. I like how there are people using my name, hahahah, i never understood the point

      1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

        You either haven’t heard him say countless times he’s getting the Wii U + Mario Kart 8 bundle in his country, you are ignoring his posts telling us he’s getting one to make your hateful comment have some kind of false meaning to make yourself feel right, or you think he’s lying for the same reason you would be ignoring his comments of him saying he’s getting one.

  4. Can someone please help? My Assassin’s Creed IV won’t work on my Wii U. They’ll just state that there’s an error. When I tried to clean the disc there’s still an error screen. The screen said that the disc wasn’t clean, and I had this game for more than 4 months. I searched online but everyone just recommended changing it at the store which I bought it from, which I doubt they will allow. Please help! Do I have to my update my Wii U or something? Anything?

  5. Nintendo uses the most space at E3, but if the way it is written, it means 50% will be empty because they do not have any games! Let me come around and wait for the final story, you will confirm that a game is not coming to Wii U! Maybe the new COD comes nothing is confirmed!

  6. This is the final nail of their coffin. I’m now more than certain that Ubisoft has ditched Nintendo and always lied about being optimistic about Wii U. They never tried for shit but run away crying wolf, full of excuses.

    Not that I care about AC which is now another COD, this “supporter” has done fucked up and gone straight to hell. Forget about buying Watchdogs Wii U preowned. This is my message to Ubisoft: SCREW YOU.

    1. That’s not gonna help though. They want you to do that. They got 4 other consoles including PC to make money on. With Watch Dogs, AC, and Far Cry 4, they’ll make a CRAP ton. If you don’t buy WD, you’ll be further proving their point that games don’t sell on Wii U. Us being Nintendo fans, we are basically forced to buy these to get more games. And that SUCKS. But I am to blame too because I don’t have any Ubisoft games. Sigh. I don’t know what to do anymore… :(

  7. “We love Nintendo!” -Ubisoft

    No games. Delayed versions of already existing ones. Exclusives go multiplat.

    1. i don’t even blame ubisoft
      when all is said and done it’s a business decision

      what i do blame them for are the anounced and then delayed games and the continuous lies they were going to keep supporting the wii u which resulted in millions ending up disappointed and a very bad press for the platform
      they should have been straightforward with it instead of these sly business tactics playing with the expectations of their customers

      1. Its still not very good business, they burned allot of customers by producing half assed ports and yanking the rug out from other customers who wanted to purchase games. So it does mean loss sales cause a burnt customers, plus if they don’t put out products on a system that means no sales. It would be better if they were just smart about what they put out, limiting big hits or specially games like Child of Light. If you look at the 3DS they gave up on 44 million customers, which makes little sense and it looks like they are going to give up on the 6+ million customers on the Wii U. This seems like the prime time to put out a game or two.

        Personally, while it won’t keep me from buying a really good game from them, I will think twice about what I purchase in the future on any platform I own.

        1. i don’t doubt that they’ll be back should wii u sales pick up again

          but i’m also sure that i’ll think twice about whether or not i’ll buy any of their games again
          i don’t appreciate being treated like a 2nd rate customer

            1. So in other words fuck the PS4 and Xbox One? Kind of hypocritical because those console aren’t really powerful either thanks to the fact they are already getting maxed out.

  8. Just because it wasn’t announced doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not coming. A lot of 3rd party games don’t even bother listing the Wii U and are announced later. Still wouldn’t shock me either way

  9. HAHAHAH Nintendo so What did you say about bring 3rd party to WeakU?#EXPOSED#WiiuLastGencConfirmed#WiiFailedU#WalkingDeadU#NintendronesExposed#PleaseUnderstand#Kidtendo#ScamTendo#NintendoIsRacist

    1. Yet the Xbox One gets a free pass even though it’s flopping and Sony is in deep shit in terms of money. I’m sorry mate but I feel the doctors are right, you do have Damage Control Aids and it looks like your in the second stage.

    2. Explain how nintendo is a scam and microsoft isn’t. *sits back, cracks a beer, waits* this oughta be good

  10. Ah, look more Nintendo news.

    Be sure to post a piece about how the recently announced Halo 5 will be skipping the Wii U.

    And don’t give me that ‘AC has been on the Wii U, so this is significant.’ Unless you’ve got some statement from Ubisoft explicitly stating ‘this game is not coming to the Wii U, ‘ it’s not Nintendo news.

      1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

        Has nothing to do with his comment, also mean that your comment is not true. Troll harder and maybe, you can be the next sasorideidaraobi the Lolocow.

        1. Xbox one = barebones vcr that can play horrible games that you need dlc to complete and still can’t reach 1080 unlike wii u. Try harder my friend

  11. I’ll be too busy playing Mario kart 8, X, Bayonetta 2, Yarn Yoshi, Hyrule Warriors, and Smash Bros. to notice

  12. That’s fine by me.
    I enjoyed AC4 for a bit, but to be honest, ports aren’t all that exciting so why would I buy them, especially when they’ll be treated as the lesser versions on Wii U by the very people who are making them?

    If Ubisoft wants my money for their AAA games, then they’ll have to start pumping out some worthwhile exclusives instead of gimped ports.

    That or make more smaller games with high quality like Child of Light.

    1. Child of Light is amazing.
      I hope all the Nintendo fanrage doesn’t cause Ubi to pull out their smaller titles as a “Fuck you too” decision.

      As Long as Ubi remains business oriented, I hope they keep putting the smaller pricepoint titles on WiiU!

  13. Ubisoft has been deliberately screwing Wii U versions with a week or two delay in release after the PS360 versions have come out in my country. Leaving out the Wii U from exclusives and Limited Editions.

    I’m done supporting them. But I have reservations about Wii U Watchdogs…

  14. LOL Why are you all crying?The days of 3rd party developers making games that are amazing went out of the window in early 2000!
    Developers now ONLY care about making money and nothing more.
    The Wii U install base is mediocre and until it at least gets to 10-12 million Ubisoft will continue to not makes for it.
    If you were a developer what would do?Release the game on the Wii U that takes a lott more time than other versions and also has a cack install base? or release it on PS3 and 360 that have a combined user base of 160 Million and release it on PS4 Xbox One that has a combined user base of 13 Million?
    EVERY game they have released for the Wii U has sold like cack anyway, hilarious how Nintendo fans always moan about 3rd party games but when they do they never go and buy them to begin with!!
    You all moan about Watchdogs being delayed that is Nintendo’s fault, Mario Kart 8 should have been released in March not at the end of May and a few days after Watchdogs.
    If Nintendo had done that then Wii U would also be getting Watchdogs the same time as other consoles.
    Why is Nintendo releasing their biggest ever Wii U game to go against Watchdogs when Ubisoft expects to sell 7 Million?Mario Kart 8 will not even sell half of that.
    The ideas at Nintendo area joke!
    Gonna be hilarious when Watchdogs trounces Mario Kart 8 all over the world and will not even get t number 1!!
    LOL

      1. Dude you expose noone but yourself, yet you think you are an exposing god. Well I guess you are since everypost you make does expose you as a retarded xbot

      2. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

        Welcome back, sasori. So how was your vacation from here while hiding on youtube? xD Glad to see you’re still an idiot that thinks he’s going to actually win & expose people. Well see you in the next article if you don’t go back into hiding.

    1. Watchdogs looks boring as hell to me. I don’t know why so many people are pre-ordering that game?

      1. Simply they have nothing else to buy. It looks like crap to me too. I bought child of light, it was fun. I bought that in the hope that Ubi would develop artframe games for the WIi u. I hate all their big games. I hope Ubi crashes and burns and can only afford to make the small games. Ubi triple A titles, past the surface detail, basically use all the same mechanics. They are all boring.

  15. well I have to say that after reading the pdf of FY14 earnings presentation i am not that thrill to play any ubisoft game. They want to be a facebook of the video game where they want to know what you eat, shit, breeze smoke, you hair colour, if you have a ball bigger than the other, optionally what video game you play. I am glad if they don’t release any software for the Wii U.

  16. Please, if you’re going to report with bias, maybe shame Ubisoft for releasing two games in the same year (in an annual franchise).

    Basically, Ubi is confident that gamers will come running to their teet to suck on rushed, same-story games. And just maybe Wii U owners have a more discernible palette.

    Of course, AC4 was much more enjoyable than AC3…. but I feel like these next two will be worth missing.

    1. That is hardly true. It is Ubi’s fault for making crap games. It is not our responsibility as consumers to buy crap just so we can get more crap.

  17. So much for Ubisoft’s… as a person who owns all the next gen consoles and loves them all dearly and my Gaming PC I’ll say this… fuck you Ubisoft, you can have your Watch_Dogs pre-order back because I don’t fucking want it anymore.

  18. Late on watchdogs No rb6 no ghost recon no division means no buy im guessing the next sc will skip wii u also fuck ubi

  19. poor Ubisoft they used to make great tactical games now they just make time traveling games and dance games for 7th gen noobs.

  20. Damn Ubisoft! I FINALLY start liking a game series that’s not first-party (Assassin’s Creed), and then they start betraying my newfound fandom by passing on the Wii U. I guess I’ll just have to stick with being a fan only of first party games forever.

    1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

      I buy 1st & 3rd party titles on Nintendo consoles. I’ve always been interested in Assassin’s Creed, so I jumped at the chance of playing AC3 on the Wii U; it was my first game for the system, not counting Nintendo Land since it came with the console. And then they start to pull these bullshit business decisions: delaying Rayman Legends when it’s finished for the Wii U so it can go multiplat, releasing a month or 2 after it releases on the other consoles & now the bullshit with Watch_Dogs. Looks like I’ll just have to use the internet to find out what happens in future Assassin’s Creed titles with Juno. As for Watch_Dogs, I guess it will be my last Ubisoft game to ever bother buying, least brand new anyway. And that’s if I even bother to get the game. It’ll ultimately depend on the quality of it for Wii U. If the quality is shit, fuck the game & Ubisoft.

  21. At least just make a direct port, don’t mess with the gamepad, and Voila! extra $$$. If anyone has miiverse please tell Nintendo they need more third party.

    1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

      They won’t. They have to use the Gamepad as a crutch as to why they won’t make a game for the Wii U, ignoring the fact the Wii U has wiimote plus & Wii U Pro controllers as alternate controllers.

  22. Nintendo fans always say a game sucks if it doesnt come to the wii u. I have assassins creed 4 for my wii u and its a really great game.

    1. Yeah, I just finished Assassin’s Creed IV, and for the most part it was pretty fun. Except I was left just as confused as I was in A.C. III. I always have a hard time following the story in these games. I never could remember most characters names, and half of the time I didn’t even know what was going on. All of the pirate/British accents etc. didn’t help matters.

  23. I want to get AC 3 too because I really enjoyed the series. I might buy a PS4 for the other games that wont be coming to the wii u

  24. I picked up black flag it was ok, nothing crazy but it was fun, i lost interest a little quicker than i had hoped but its all good, i got it used so nbd, obviously the 2 new ones wont be much different(the whole series is the same game w/ little tweeks)…dont care

  25. The games MIGHT be announced at E3 but if not i’m not mad. Ubisoft has been like that one friend who really likes football and wants to play with the other kids but has been at your house playing chess with you because you have a cast on your leg. Other kids stopped by to hang in the beginning but got bored of chess and quickly stopped visiting. Ubisoft kept coming over for a long time. They weren’t always on time but it’s better than nothing, especially when you don’t show any signs of ever wanting to play football even when the cast comes off. So let them go play. They may still come visit from time to time if they feel like playing chess again. But if you wanna keep friends you gotta be able to accommodate them a little better. Making them play your way, especially when they’re not so interested in the game you’re playing is a poor way to keep company.

    Lol still, im not saying that not having third party support is okay i’m just saying the time for being butthurt by Ubisoft has passed. The time for that was when Rayman Legends went from being a 3rd Party exclusive (a very important launch window one too) to a multi-plat that came out way later than originally slated to. If people on other systems want games like Rayman Legends and Bayonetta 2 then they should’ve had to buy a Wii U just like if you want Gears of War you buy an Xbox or buying a PlayStation for LittleBigPlanet. That’s the point of exclusives, to define the appeal of that platform and make it a necessity for the targeted demographic. Ubi went for the money and put it on every platform which became a trend really fast and I get that people were pissed that they couldn’t play Legends (they still are with Bayo. 2) and you want your fans to have access, but if all these games people want but hate that they can’t play on their PS & Xbox are only on Wii U, even being a little “underpowered” spec wise wouldn’t have stopped the Wii U. It would’ve had the games, great 3rd party titles would’ve filled the gap between those iconic first party titles and people would’ve bit the bullet and bought one (and enjoyed it). Now, around a year later people are mad about big current gen multiplat games skipping Wii U, which currently has low sales/install base and less power than the other two big consoles this generation. Multiplatform games alone will never make a system. You need those AND really good 1st and 3rd party exclusives. And right now Wii U doesn’t have much of either but hopefully really soon they can turn that around- at least on the 1st party front.

    All that said i’d love to play Fallout 4 and Far Cry 4 on Wii U. The GamePad being your Pip Boy screams genius and as deep as Far Cry goes interface wise putting the backpack stuff and the skill tree for leveling up all in your hands would be a good look for the game. Here’s hoping for epic E3 surprises.

  26. here a thing I don’t understand with those version, does Unity and comet are the same game but release on different systems? I haven’t play AC3 and AC4 yet (had a hard time to swallow the end of AC revelation)

  27. I really love assassins creed and u guys need to show less criticism toward this game.Its a boss game and I own ac3 and ac4 on the wii u and hands down they were definitely better than the xbox360 versions.and like some people have said for all we know maybe they will release it for the wii u with a delay

  28. Im actually quiet annoyed with Nintendo/Ubisoft …. The reason I bought a crappy Wii U was to play games like Cod and Assassins creed. Iv played the whole franchise of these titles and have enjoyed it best on the Wii U but not for the likes of Zelda and Mario (played, tried, hated then reimbursed), those games just dont do it for me as an Individual.
    The Wii U console has so much potential to produce more, better games ie. Splatoon.

    The Wii U for me at the time was Convenient for the gamepad play it’s a brilliant idea which the likes of other competitors wont do (Its not like others will want to use a tv at the same time and besides not all of us play in seperate rooms to be anti-sociable). Especially as the xbox and playstation prices for games and internet play was just disgusting but now without proper games I dont know whats worse. Maybe I would be better of playing my Spectrum zx

    Thanks, rant over
