Key insights
- Get ready for more Assassin's Creed, like a lot more Assassin's Creed.
- Because according to insider Tom Henderson, Ubisoft is reportedly planning to release ten Assassin's Creed titles over the next five years.
- About 41 titles will be released by 2030, including spin-offs, mainline games and mobile titles if the plan works.
If you're one of the many who thinks there are way too many Assassin's Creed video games, then just wait until you hear what Ubisoft has in store.
The franchise, which has already released 13 titles, including a 14th in the delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows, as well as another 17 spin-offs, VR and mobile titles, is reportedly aiming to release 10 titles in five years. This means that there will be around 41 titles in total in 2030. Not even Resident Evil has that many titles.
Get ready to murder again and again
This information comes from a reliable insider, Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming, who noted in his report on the rapid development of the Black Flag Remake that Ubisoft has big plans for its more than decade-old franchise.
According to Henderson:
Insider Gaming believes this is part of Ubisoft's ramp-up strategy for the Assassin's Creed series, which will release around ten Assassin's Creed titles of varying length and experience over the next five years. This includes Assassin's Creed, codenamed Jade, a full-fledged mobile offering with a tentative date in the second quarter of 2025 (FY126).
One of the 10 Assassin's Creed titles mentioned is undoubtedly the long-rumored Black Flag remake. The mobile game titled Jade, which has had various gameplay elements leaked in the past, is another title, along with Hexe and the multiplayer project codenamed Invictus are three other titles.
That leaves about six unnamed titles left before 2030. As the report suggests, the titles will be “of varying lengths,” meaning the rest likely won't be full-length games. There is also the element of other planned remakes to consider, which Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot had already confirmed would exist.
Anyway, that's a lot of games in such a short time frame. If fans aren't already fatigued by the number of games that already exist, then they certainly will be in 2030.
