Ubisoft Reveals Stunning Lineup of 11 Exciting New Assassin's Creed Titles!

According to a recent report, Ubisoft is currently developing approximately 11 Assassin's Creed games. This aligns with an earlier report that stated Ubisoft was expanding the development team for the franchise, indicating the existence of several projects in progress.

Assassin's Creed has long been regarded as Ubisoft's flagship series. Building upon the success of their Prince of Persia games, the franchise revolutionized the action-adventure genre with its immersive lore, intricate world design, and refined stealth mechanics. Additionally, Assassin's Creed Valhalla achieved the status of being Ubisoft's first billion-dollar game, prompting the French developer to further invest in their best-selling franchise. As a result, they are currently focused on developing multiple Assassin's Creed titles simultaneously.

As per Insider Gaming's report, Ubisoft is currently engaged in the development of 11 Assassin’s Creed titles, one of which is the highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Alongside Mirage, there are three other titles currently in the production phase: Assassin’s Creed Nexus, Assassin’s Creed Codname Jade, and Assassin’s Creed Codename Red. Additionally, two games with the working titles Codename Hexe and Codename Invictus are reportedly in the pre-production stage. Furthermore, there are three games named Nebula, Raid, and Echoes, currently in the conception phase. Notably, Raid and Nebula are multiplayer Assassin’s Creed titles. The report also reveals that internal discussions are already underway for a sequel to the VR game Assassin’s Creed Nexus. Furthermore, there are rumors of a remake of the popular Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, which introduced Edward Kenway to the franchise. It is interesting to note that Black Flag ranks as the fifth highest-selling Ubisoft game of all time, with approximately 15 million copies sold, which could be a significant factor in its potential resurgence.

The line-up includes a mixture of multiplayer and single-player titles, with one game also being developed for mobile. While Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood introduced multiplayer in 2011, it was Assassin’s Creed Unity that popularized the mode and still has active players eight years later. Considering the lack of significant popularity despite innovative gameplay, Ubisoft's approach to a complete multiplayer game in the series is intriguing.

Financially, it makes sense for Ubisoft to invest in the Assassin’s Creed series, but it also raises confusion as the company has other intellectual properties to focus on. Recent cancellations of seven games and uncertainty surrounding the future of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake adds to the puzzle. On the other hand, rumors suggest Ubisoft is working on two new Far Cry games, leading fans to question if the developer can handle such an extensive roster without further cancellations.
