Not content with the four titles already confirmed to be on the way, the multiplayer entry hinted at in a later earnings call and the VR game still yet to materialise, it seems as though Ubisoft’s future plans for the series already extend much further.
According to sources familiar to Insider Gaming, at least four more Assassin’s Creed games are in the pipeline, even if they’re not guaranteed to actually eventuate. The outlet has reported that three separate teams within Ubisoft are currently it the concept and prototype phase of pitching new titles within the series, each of which sounds like a vastly different experience.
First is Ubisoft Sofia (Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation and Assassin’s Creed Rogue co-developers) with “Project Nebula” which will supposedly cover three different settings through India, the Aztec Empire, and the Mediterranean.
Next, Ubisoft Chengdu is reportedly working on a free-to-play four player cooperative PvE title codenamed “Project Raid” that will feature characters from across the Assassin’s Creed universe.
Finally, Ubisoft Annecy, who previously worked on the multiplayer portions of older Assassin’s Creed games and helped on The Division 2, is pitching “Project Echoes,” a multiplayer title that will utilise Ubisoft Scalar technology.
On top of these three, IG is also claiming that a sequel is already in consideration for Assassin’s Creed Nexus, the VR spin-off for the Oculus Quest 2 that Ubisoft announced back in 2020 and has since gone quiet about.
Of course, despite Insider Gaming’s pretty solid track record of sourced leaks, all of this is still firmly in rumour territory.
The Assassin’s Creed games that Ubisoft has confirmed are coming in the near future are Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, a flagship title set in Feudal Japan, the spooky-looking Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe and Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade, an open-world mobile title set in Ancient China.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage launches this year for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. Amazon has pre-orders for just $65 with free shipping.
