While there have been no official announcements of Assassin's Creed 5 plans from Ubisoft, it seems that the interest that the publisher is trying to attain seems to heavily hint at a possible follow-up.

For now, the next thing to do is to wait for Ubisoft to announce any developments or plans for Assassin's Creed 5, and how they plan to integrate the findings from the survey to satisfy more fans.
