Ubisoft hints at longer Assassin's Creed development times ahead of Shadows debut


When Assassin's Creed Shadows launches this November, it will have been in development for four years.

Ubisoft is set to release the latest entry in its long running Assassin's Creed series in a few months, and ahead of this has suggested future games will see a longer development time. However, according to Shadows' lead producer Karl Onnée, four years is "the right balance to go from conception to production and get the feedback necessary to adapt" an Assassin's Creed game.
