Ubisoft head of marketing Geoffrey Sardin has revealed that there are plans for another Assassin's Creed game for 2011, more details have yet to be forthcoming. He said ""If you compare [the 1m in a week] with last year's Assassin’s Creed II sales, this is a big jump - so it's a great achievement," he explained. "It's the best launch in the history of Ubisoft's European sales, and our best-selling launch title ever."

It also turns out that Assassin's Creed Brotherhood sold over 1 million copies in just one week in Europe alone.

Who are we going to follow in the 4th installment of the Franchise? Will it be more Desomond orientated or are we going to see yet another new assassin take to the stand?

"Yes, Yves [Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO] mentioned it last week in our financials - and more details will be forthcoming. But what I can say is that next year we will have another big Assassin's Creed game."

During the interview, Sardin also announced that the franchise's latest addition Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood sold over 1m copies in Europe in less than a week, making it the publisher's biggest IP.
