Asking around, I heard that Immortals 2's focus on Polynesian gods was promising and being handled well. But it sounds like getting AC Red done is the priority at the Quebec City studio https://t.co/KsJF8grBqN

For his part, VGC editor Andy Robinson says that Ubisoft Québec employees aren't keen on doing Assassin's Creed instead of Immortals 2, but management insists it's a necessity.

I'm told that many Immortals leads are pushing back on being moved to AC. Will be interesting to see how that pans out
