Assassin's Creed III is coming this year right?
It kinda has to given that the present-day segments are very close to being literally present-day. By the time it comes out, most of the series will be in the past, and there'll only be a month or so before the cataclysm ceases to be a near-future threat and becomes an obviously-survived-recent-past.
It'd really suck if they decided they needed to delay it for a while to make it perfect, but couldn't because of the date. Then again, I guess that's what DLC is for.
