Assassin's Creed 3, Splinter Cell: Retribution reports are "inaccurate"

That rumour about a new Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed releasing this year? LIES, ALL LIES. Ubisoft has rubbished yesterday's purported 2012 release schedule leak, admitting however that it's well chuffed by the publicity.

Sadly, the statement in question doesn't use the phrase "well chuffed". It opts for less provincial wording instead. As in, "we're thrilled and kind of amused to see this line-up news. It shows that players are anxious to hear about Ubisoft's upcoming releases. This reported line-up is inaccurate.

"We guarantee you that you'll hear directly from us soon about the amazing variety of games Ubisoft has slated for fiscal year 2012-13."

Just so you know exactly what's inaccurate, amusing and thrilling, here's the bogus list again.

Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows)

Far Cry 3 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows)

I Am Alive (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360)

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows)

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online (Microsoft Windows, Wii U)

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Retribution (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows)

Prince of Persia (Wii, 3DS) Assassin's Creed 3 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Microsoft Windows)

Just Dance Final Party (Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation Move)

According to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, annual Assassin's Creed releases are "necessary to satisfy demand". Just saying.
