Allegedly, though the unannounced sequel's focus on Polynesian mythology was "promising", Ubisoft decided to focus instead on the next big Assassin's Creed release.
Ubisoft has six Assassin's Creed titles officially confirmed to be in development, while reports have suggested four more are in the pipeline.
The game will allegedly have a strong focus on stealth, and is reportedly "already in good shape" behind the scenes.
