With Revelations tying up the story of Ezio and Altair is ramping up the hype for the next game in the series.

Ubisoft's CEO has said that the next game will refresh the series as well as being the biggest Assassin's Creed game so far.

He said: "Assassin's Creed is an incredible franchise and there are a lot of expectations that it will continue to grow. We are pleased with our continued success so far: in the US, Assassin's Creed: Revelations was a Top Ten title for the entire calendar year, which shows that the demand is definitely there."

Guillemot continued: "We think that delivering regular installments and expanding the brand to other platforms will continue to satisfy the demand, while at the same time attracting new fans. And we're confident that the next installment of Assassins Creed will be the biggest to date."

Ubisoft has promised that there will be another Assassin's Creed title this year to help finish up the Desmond Miles storyline which is heading for a big conclusion at the end of 2012.
