Ubisoft's no stranger to hidden blades, but it appears that the French firm has a different kind of weapon stuffed up its sleeve. Hot on the heels of Assassin's Creed Syndicate's announcement earlier this evening, the publisher has revealed that it has another "triple-A title that has not yet been announced" in the pipeline – and it's scheduled to deploy before the end of March 2016.
With the organisation's slate already packed – Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Rainbow Six Siege are due out this year; The Division is due out next year – it's hard to imagine it squeezing in another high-profile release, but we're sure that all will be revealed at E3 2015 next month. There has been much speculation surrounding Watch Dogs 2 of late, but surely it's too soon for that?

Can I dream about a new Rayman? Can I, please?
If Rayman 4 is revealed at E3 this year I'm gonna cry tears of so much joy
It's already been confirmed by Michel Ancel that Rayman would be coming back in 3D so it's not impossible either.
Alright Ubi, enough disappointment. Time for some Beyond Good and Evil 2 footage
Haven't got a clue on what it could be, another new IP? E3 soon...
@TheEmerlLad Ah, yes. I would also settle for that, however BG&E2 had already been announced.
P R I N C E O F P E R S I A
A next gen PoP game would be awesome!
Unfortunately out of all these awesome games, it'll probably be Watch_Dogs 2 or something we don't want.
Ray man ain't aaa quality. . Beyond good and evil 2 would be interesting. I'm pretty sure pop is done
Ray man ain't aaa quality. . Beyond good and evil 2 would be interesting. I'm pretty sure pop is done
well I would like it to be a new Prince of Persia game but it won't be
I'm going to guess either Watch_Dogs_2 (the reminds me I still have to pick up Watch_Dogs at some point) or a new Rayman
@johnny30 3D Rayman games have always been AAA. In fact, they made most of Ubisoft's money before the likes of AC.
It's also worth noting that after Rayman Legends was released, Ubisoft Montpellier became a AAA studio again.
@darkhairwarrior I'm actually surprised about that always though they were minor games lol. Last rAyman wasn't that great
Depending on their definition of " AAA" it could be just another Just Dance title
@johnny30 The last 2 Rayman games were 2D and low budget.
3D Rayman games (Rayman 2 & 3) were the prime of their time though, and AAA. That's why this could possibly be another 3D Rayman game.
Also Rayman 1 was the best selling PS1 game of all time in the UK. It was low budget but that shows how popular Rayman is.
Splinter Cell
I'm gonna go with a new IP. It's gonna be a game where you play as a struggling secret agent who can't quite figure out how to do his job. It'll be a comedy action game called Assassin's Cry... You heard it here first
Surely they wouldn't/couldn't crank out another Watch Dogs this fast? I think it could be something else entirely.
Far cry 5 lol, wont be long before they make that yearly too! (i do hope that never happens by the way! I like far cry with some gaps)
@BLPs Lol i know right.
Either dance central, brothers in arms or Alex fergusons player manager 2015.
Ooh I wonder if it's open world and I'll get to climb a tower to uncover bits of the map and repeat the same side quests that I did in the last part of the map I uncovered because I haven't done any of that in their games over the past few years. Oh wait.........
Rayman or Beyond Good & Evil. Either will make an appropriate gesture of apology...
Far Cry 4: Blood Dragon 2? That would be awesome. I know its now a Triple AAA but still.
Presumably It's a next gen only splinter cell using the divisions "snowdrop" engine
I hope it's a new Splinter Cell. If not then Ghost Recon would be cool too. I'm expecting it to be Watch_Dogs 2, however.
@TheEmerlLad Beyond Good and Evil 2 would be nice...I always wondered what happened to it when Game Informer talked about it almost 5 years ago.
I'll hope for a new Rayman adventure, however, I'd also like to see a Rabbids adventure game made for the PS4 too.
I'm up for a New Rayman game. Rayman 4?
@darkhairwarrior Rayman games have never been AAA. Ever. AAA is something like GTA or Mario Galaxy, titles at the the top of their game both critically and commercially. Rayman games have always been well-very well reviewed by critics and hardly ever set the tills alight sales-wise. A at very best. Just because you enjoy them doesn't make them AAA. In that case Catherine is a AAA game.
@rastamadeus
These days I think AAA is referring to budget more than anything. The Order is certainly not a high quality game but it was a big production. The meaning of these terms is always changing 'casual' was once defined as GTA than the Wii happened and all the sudden GTA is a 'core' gamer's game and Wii Sports is the 'casual' stuff. I wish we'd just call them video games but people need qualifiers.
The crew, euro version lol
@rastamadeus You realize that Rayman 2 and Rayman 3 were Ubisoft's highest budget releases during their time right? High budget = AAA
@Gamer83 It's exceptionally sad and shows how poor gaming is becoming when more money spent on something means it's AAA, a term which has always shown the class of the product. For something as average as Rayman 2 and 3 (decent, nothing special - no offence @darkhairwarrior) to actually be thought of as AAA genuinely makes me ashamed of what was once a loved hobby. It's what annoys me most about PS+, people crying out for AAA titles then acting like something such as Injustice or Infamous: First Light are that when they're not, they're just big names. PS4 has one AAA title so far, Bloodborne. There's nothing wrong with that and it's just fanboys desperate to make something good great, a 7/10 a 9/10, etc. Sorry if I seem like I'm ranting, just becoming more and more disillusioned with something I've been in love with for very nearly 25 years.
