Makes the most sense.  The next Assassin's Creed will probably be awesome so explains why MS would back it.

Probably Assassin's Creed, they had it for Unity.

According to this, Decisive Games, that studio Microsoft announced to develop strategy games, was dissolved before it even got started.

Yeah their first party is in a horrible state. All of the non known/small studios have dried up as well.

Lol. I bet that tweet had the Gears community sweating for a short time.

If he means devs need the october sdk before they can send the game off to MS, it's a November release or even December.

I'd be quite surprised if it wasn't November

Sony have all the bigger third party deals snapped up and I'd say they had zero interest paying for a deal with Ubisoft.  Microsoft would know this and I'd say they got AC quite cheap.  Probably just had to pay for the advertising and bundles and that's it.
