2. Assassin's Creed Victory
Release Date: Late 2015. The Buzz: The latest core Assassin's Creed game takes place in Victorian London, and say what you want about this franchise, but it looks bloody gorgeous. Why It Could Suck: The fact that Ubisoft flat-out refuse to take a year off and actually spend a decent amount of time developing their games suggests that Victory probably won't learn many (if any) lessons from the almighty clusterf*** that was Unity. Expect more nonsense about post-release embargoes, more glitchy graphics and more of the same mission types you've been tired of playing through for years. Why You'll Play It Anyway: Because apparently everyone does. Unity outsold Black Flag in the UK in its first week even with all of its negativity PR, so it seems like the fanbase doesn't really care all that much about reviews. As such, expect the commercial juggernaut to pull the same nonsense again this year until people start voting with their wallets en masse. It's the only way Ubisoft will learn.
