Ubisoft confirms several new Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry games are coming

The future of Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry games suddenly looks crowded — in a good way. Ubisoft has confirmed that several new titles from both blockbuster franchises are currently in development, reassuring fans that the publisher isn’t abandoning its biggest hits anytime soon.

If you’ve ever joked that Ubisoft only makes two kinds of games — climbing towers or stabbing templars — well, congratulations, you may be right… and also getting more of both.

Ubisoft doubles down on Its biggest franchises

According to company leadership, multiple entries in the Assassin’s Creed series are underway, alongside at least two new Far Cry projects. This includes both single-player experiences and multiplayer-focused titles, suggesting Ubisoft is trying to evolve these brands rather than simply repeat past formulas.

The announcement comes during a broader corporate restructuring aimed at focusing resources on proven heavy hitters. In other words, Ubisoft is betting on the franchises that still reliably pay the bills — the gaming equivalent of ordering pizza because nobody ever complains about pizza.

Behind the scenes, major internal teams have reportedly been reorganized into “creative houses” dedicated to core intellectual properties. One of these groups is tasked specifically with shepherding Ubisoft’s flagship series into the next generation.

Not just one game — a whole roadmap

The news isn’t about a single sequel quietly cooking in a Montreal basement. Ubisoft appears to be planning an entire slate of releases.

Reports and industry chatter suggest the lineup could include:

• New mainline Assassin’s Creed titles

• Experimental or multiplayer entries

• The long-rumored Far Cry 7

• Potential spin-offs within both universes

This multi-project approach aligns with Ubisoft’s long-term strategy to turn its biggest brands into ongoing platforms rather than one-off releases.

Earlier investments — including partnerships and new development structures — were specifically designed to accelerate production on Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and similar tentpole franchises.

Why Ubisoft needs these games to succeed

Let’s be blunt: Ubisoft has had a rocky few years. Delays, cancellations, and uneven launches have shaken confidence, and the company has openly acknowledged the need to refocus on quality and reliability.

Yet the popularity of these franchises remains enormous. Ubisoft reported tens of millions of active players across its major brands, demonstrating that despite criticism, people keep coming back.

From a business standpoint, doubling down makes sense. Reinventing a new blockbuster IP is risky and expensive. Building on globally recognized series is safer — like renovating your house instead of moving.

What this means for players

For fans, the takeaway is simple: neither franchise is going anywhere. In fact, the opposite is true — you may soon have more choices than ever.

Expect Ubisoft to experiment with formats, release cadence, and gameplay styles while trying to avoid franchise fatigue. Whether that balance succeeds will determine if these games feel fresh… or like reheated leftovers with slightly better graphics.

One thing is certain: stealth assassinations and chaotic open-world firefights will remain part of gaming’s DNA for years to come.
