Entries in both the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry franchises have continued to iterate on the foundations laid by some of the best games in the series. Even though both game franchises have experimented with different gameplay concepts, stories, and other degrees of innovation, both have followed very different development pipelines. Ubisoft implemented an annual release schedule for the Assassin's Creed series after the massive success of Assassin's Creed 2, while Far Cry maintaned a more traditional AAA development cycle. However, based on a few leaks and hints by the publisher, Assassin's Creed and Far Cry may be going live service for the future.
