A sequel was announced in 2017 during Ubisoft’s E3 conference.

Including in the missing information, no release date, gameplay, or platforms have been said by Ubisoft yet.

We have been given two cinematic trailers. One during E3 in 2017, and another the following year, which you can watch the latest cinematic look below:
