There are so many upcoming Assassin’s Creed games in development that it’s actually a bit difficult to keep up with everything. Ubisoft has been supporting Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for two years and now the publisher is ready to take the franchise forward with a series of new Assassin’s Creed games.
Looking at this list of all the Assassin’s Creed games in development, it’s clear that the series is breaking into new areas. We have two new flagship open world RPGs, ambitious mobile games, a standalone multiplayer game and an interactive hub, and a return to the stealth base on which Assassin’s Creed is based. So keep reading to discover all the upcoming Assassin’s Creed games.
Upcoming Assassin’s Creed games
Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Developer: Ubisoft Bordeaux
Platform(s): PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One
Publication date: 2023
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a tribute to the early days of the Assassin’s Creed series. It’s a return to rooftop running, stalking targets through social stealth and carefully executed assassinations – the basis of Altair and Ezio’s original adventures. Set in Baghdad and starring a younger Basim, Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be a smaller, more self-contained story adventure – a breath of fresh air from the sprawling open-world RPG antics of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins. Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s mission has a simplicity that we can’t help but appreciate, and we’d love to see it in action before its 2023 release for all major platforms.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec, Ubisoft Montreal
Platform(s): TB
Publication date: TB
Assassin’s Creed Infinity is hard to explain, but it could have a transformative impact on the way we interact with Assassin’s Creed games in the future. Ubisoft is basically building an interactive hub that will function as the Animus, allowing you to jump between different historical playgrounds while developing the modern narrative framing that has been with the series since its inception. The first two games to join the Infinity Hub are Assassin’s Creed Codename Red and Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, and it is expected to expand and evolve over time. It’s a bit metaverse, but it also makes perfect sense for this franchise.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Red
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec
Platform(s): TB
Publication date: TB
Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is expected to be the first game to join the Infinity Hub, and the sequel that will finally fulfill a longstanding fan request: Codename Red is set in feudal Japan. In development at Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Ubisoft Quebec, Codename Red will allow us to experience a “very powerful shinobi fantasy” and has been described as the future of open-world RPG Assassin’s Creed games. It’s a hugely exciting proposition and we’re excited to see what Ubisoft delivers here. Unfortunately, with Assassin’s Creed Mirage slated to release next year, there’s a good chance we won’t see Codename Red until 2024 at the earliest.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Platform(s): TB
Publication date: TB
Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe is being positioned as a “very different type of Assassin’s Creed game.” Details are scarce, but we do know that it will be made by Assassin’s Creed Valhalla developer Ubisoft Montreal and that former Watch Dogs Legion creative director Clint Hocking will lead production. The first teaser trailer and the game’s codename suggest Assassin’s Creed Hexe is set in 16th-century Europe during the infamous witch trials that swept the region. We can get some weird, subversive open-world RPG here with Codename Hexe, and we’re really here for some more experimentation from the Assassin’s Creed series.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): Android, iOS
Publication date: TB
Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade will be the first true open world Assassin’s Creed game for mobile. Ubisoft has said it is trying to build an authentic Assassin’s Creed experience, albeit one that is fully optimized for touch controls. Assassin’s Creed Jade is set in China in the year 215 BCE – and yes, you are about to park over the Great Wall. Codename Jade will also be the first game in the series where you can create your own assassin from scratch, which is a nice touch. Ubisoft has only shown an in-engine trailer so far, but it was pretty impressive. If Assassin’s Creed can truly scale to mobile and touch controls, it could change the shape of your commute forever.
Assassin’s Creed Netflix
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): Android, iOS
Publication date: TB
Ubisoft and Netflix have entered into a fairly broad collaboration agreement. A Netflix Assassin’s Creed series is in production (with showrunner Jed Stuart, the author of iconic action films like Die Hard and The Fugitive), at the helm, and three mobile games in development for Netflix’s video game platform. There will be games based on the Valiant Hearts and Mighty Quest universes, and of course one set in the world of Assassin’s Creed. The Assassin’s Creed Netflix game is in early development, but when it launches it will be available exclusively on mobile to Netflix subscribers around the world. No other information has been shared, but our curiosity has been piqued nonetheless.
Assassin’s Creed Invictus
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): TB
Publication date: TB
Ubisoft says it is “exploring how we can bring standalone multiplayer experiences back to the Assassin’s Creed universe.” Assassin’s Creed multiplayer has been at the top of the wish list for years – it’s been nine years since the mode in AC4: Black Flag and eight since co-op appeared in Assassin’s Creed Unity. Little is known about this standalone Assassin’s Creed multiplayer game, although we do know that it will launch as part of the Assassin’s Creed Infinity Hub, and franchise boss Marc-Alexis Coté has confirmed that the codename is “Assassin’s Creed Invictus.”
