Assassin’s Creed is a beloved action-adventure franchise that has been around for more than a decade, and it seems that Ubisoft has no intention of slowing down. According to a recent report from Insider Gaming, the publisher is planning on releasing at least nine more Assassin’s Creed games in the coming years, with six currently in development.
The French game publishing company has released 12 Assassin’s Creed games so far, with the first game released in the year 2007. Some 16 years later, the first of these upcoming games is Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which is expected to be released sometime in August of this year. This game is said to bring the series back to its roots, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. Interestingly, it will be followed by an Assassin’s Creed VR game, which will be announced at E3 and released in the same year. This is a little reminiscent of Valve releasing a VR sequel to Half-Life, Half-Life Alyx in order to maintain its appeal for its VR fanbase.
The next game, Codename Red, is set to feature ninjas in Japan and will have a strong focus on stealth. It’s rumored to be released in 2024, followed by the multiplayer title Assassin’s Creed ‘Invictus’ in 2025, and Codename Hexe in 2026. Codename Jade is also in development, but its release date is still unknown.
But that’s not all. Ubisoft reportedly has three more Assassin’s Creed games in the planning stages. Each of these games will feature a unique spin on the franchise and different gameplay from other titles. Project Nebula, for instance, will take place in India, the Aztec Empire, and the Mediterranean, while Project Raid will be a PvE-based free-to-play game with 4-player co-op mode. Project Echoes is another multiplayer title in the franchise.
It’s clear that Ubisoft is going all-in on Assassin’s Creed, and fans of the series have plenty to look forward to. The publisher plans to release a new game in the franchise every year, with each major entry significantly different from the last to keep things fresh. With so many games in development, it’s an exciting time to be an Assassin’s Creed fan.
