Ubisoft has nine Assassin's Creed games currently in development, according to a new report published by Tom Henderson on Insider Gaming.
We have been aware of at least four for a while. Jade, the mobile game set in Ancient China, is one of only two officially announced. There hasn't been any news on this title for at least two years, but Henderson says it'll be the next franchise entry to make its debut.
Then there's Invictus, the Fall Guys-style multiplayer spin-off. Last month, the same insider said this game would launch in 2025. Today, he added that Ubisoft is prepared to support it for at least five years post-launch, provided it sells according to internal estimates.
The highly anticipated Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Remake (codenamed Obsidian) should launch around the same time, so we could be playing it in late 2025 or early 2026 at the latest.
Assassin's Creed Hexe is the other game on this list that Ubisoft has confirmed. As you might recall, a brief tease was dropped during a Ubisoft Forward presentation in September 2022. This project is in development at Ubisoft Montréal and is led by Clint Hocking, a Ubisoft veteran who was the Creative Director of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Far Cry 2, and Watch Dogs: Legion. It was officially described as a 'very different' franchise experience, and it does sound like it will be the next Mirage-like game. The current plan, says Henderson, is to launch it when Assassin's Creed Shadows ends its post-release support. This should happen in around two years, so Hexe could drop in 2027, with one year of planned post-launch support of its own.
The next big open-world Assassin's Creed RPG, codenamed Scarlet, has already entered production. Henderson speculates it might be Assassin's Creed Nebula, a game that should take place in three different settings: the Aztec Empire, India, and the Mediterranean.
The roadmap gets increasingly hazy from now on. Stardust is the codename of another remake, but there's no info on which game would be remade. Then there's Emerald, reportedly another multiplayer game with a five-year support plan. Emerald is expected to be released close to Stardust.
'RPG 3' is completely unknown at this point, except that it should launch after the usual two years of live support for Scarlet. Similarly, the report could not add anything about 'Remake 3' other than the fact that it will release around one year after RPG 3.
That will be many years from now. Meanwhile, Ubisoft has officially unveiled the year one roadmap for Assassin's Creed Shadows.
