Canceled Creed? Ubisoft Reportedly Shelves Post-Civil War Title
A shocking rumor is making the rounds in the development underworld. Sources claim that Ubisoft has secretly canceled a new Assassin's Creed title that was set in the turbulent aftermath of the American Civil War. The reason? Alleged fear of "political backlash" and criticism from all sides. Insiders whisper that the project was deemed "too controversial" for the modern gaming climate. Will Ubisoft ever confirm the existence of this lost chapter, or is it destined to become another gaming ghost story? The "progressives," some angry fans claim, may have just robbed us of a masterpiece.
