Before the release of Assassin's Creed Origins, Ubisoft placed the series on temporary hiatus to improve the core experience. The publisher indeed succeeded in making the game one of the best entries in the series, and it seems like it won't be going back to Assassin's Creed yearly releases anytime soon, as the team is fully focused on expanding Assassin's Creed Origins.
Speaking at a recent earnings call question, CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that more DLC is coming to Assassin's Creed Origins in 2018.
We are concentrating at the moment on AC:O, for which we are going to launch a few other DLCs. So you will be amazed by what will come on AC:O. That's the only thing we can say now.
As to the game's high quality, Guillemot noted that it's the result of having more time to polish titles.
With more time to polish our games, we have been able to release three high-quality titles since August. We have fully embraced the significant increase in resources required to develop ever-bigger games.
Next week, Assassin's Creed Origins will receive a brand new play mode called Discovery Tour, which will allow players to free roam the game's world to learn more about Ancient Egypt.
This new educational mode of the game lets everyone, from players to history-enthusiasts and non-gamers, choose between free roaming the beautiful world of Ancient Egypt to learn more about its history and daily life, or embarking on guided tours curated by historians and Egyptologists. People can discover and explore a world free of conflict, time pressure or gameplay constraints, where storyline and quests are not active and the world of Ancient Egypt evolves into a combat-free living museum
Assassin's Creed Origins is now out on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in all regions.
