Xbox Attempted to Create Its Own Assassin’s Creed Franchise With Ill-fated Title

According to new reports, the Xbox One launch title, Ryse: Son of Rome was intended to be the start of a major franchise for Xbox, one that was likely going to be Crytek’s version of Assassin’s Creed. However, as fans know, things didn’t end up going in that direction, as the fortunes of the Xbox One and Crytek certainly went in different directions following the game’s launch while Assassin’s Creed continued to flourish.
