Upcoming Assassin's Creed games: Every new Assassin's Creed game in development
With plenty of upcoming Assassin's Creed games currently in the works, it's an exciting time for fans of Ubisoft's long-running stealthy series. With the first ever mobile exclusive, the next flagship entry, and an intriguing new experience that is said to revolve around witches, there are lots of interesting projects in the pipeline.
Following our first official look at Assassin's Creed Shadows, we also have the Ubisoft Forward - which was confirmed as part of the Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule - to look forward to. With the showcase set to show off some upcoming Ubisoft games, there's always the chance we could learn more about what's in store for us.
Following the release of Assassin's Creed Mirage last year, which delivered a tighter experience about Basim before the events of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, it'll be interesting to see how the next installment shapes up.
There are certainly many new games for 2024 to watch out for in the future. For a full recap of all of the upcoming Assassin's Creed games coming our way, read on below.
Upcoming Assassin's Creed games
Assassin's Creed Shadows
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5
Release Date: November 15, 2024
Assassin's Creed Shadows, which was first announced as Assassin's Creed Codename Red, is expected to be the first game to join the Infinity Hub, and the sequel that will finally deliver on a longstanding fan-request: it will be taking us feudal Japan. In development at Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Ubisoft Quebec, the adventure will let us live out a "very powerful shinobi fantasy" in an open-world RPG where we'll get to play as two different protagonists - including a real historical figure. It's a wildly exciting proposition, and we're eager to see what Ubisoft delivers here.
Assassin's Creed Infinity
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec, Ubisoft Montreal
Platform(s): TBC
Release date: TBC
Assassin's Creed Infinity is difficult to explain, but it could have a transformative impact on the way that we interact with Assassin's Creed games in the future. Ubisoft is effectively building an interactive hub that will function like the Animus, allowing you to jump between different historical playgrounds while simultaneously progressing the modern-day narrative framing that has been with the series since the beginning. The first two games to join the Infinity Hub will be Assassin's Creed Codename Red and Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, and it is then expected to expand and evolve over time. It's a little metaverse-y, but it also makes perfect sense for this franchise.
Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Platform(s): TBC
Release Date: TBC
Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe is being positioned as a "a very different type of Assassins' Creed game." Details are few and far between, but we do know that it's being created by Assassin's Creed Valhalla developer Ubisoft Montreal and that former Watch Dogs Legion creative director Clint Hocking will be leading production. The first teaser trailer and game's codename suggest that Assassin's Creed Hexe will be set in 16th Century Europe during the infamous witch trials that engulfed the region. We could be in for a weird, subversive open world RPG here with Codename Hexe, and we're honestly here for a little more experimentation from the Assassin's Creed series.
Assassin's Creed Jade
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): Android, iOS
Release Date: TBC
Assassin's Creed Jade is set to be the first truly open world Assassin's Creed game for mobile. Ubisoft has said that it's trying to build an authentic Assassin's Creed experience, albeit one that is totally optimized for touch controls. Assassin's Creed Jade will be set in China in the year 215 BCE – and, yes, you will be about to parkour across the Great Wall. Originally revealed as Codename Jade before it's official title was confirmed at GamesCom 2023 as simply Assassin's Creed Jade, it will also be the first game in the series to let you create your own assassin from scratch, which is a nice touch.
Assassin's Creed Netflix
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): Android, iOS
Release Date: TBC
Ubisoft and Netflix have entered a pretty broad collaboration agreement. There's a Netflix Assassin's Creed series in production (with showrunner Jed Stuart at the helm; the writer of such iconic action movies as Die Hard and The Fugitive), and three mobile games in development for Netflix's video game platform. There are games based on the Valiant Hearts and Mighty Quest universes coming, and of course one based in the world of Assassin's Creed too. The Assassin's Creed Netflix game is in early development, but when it does launch it'll be available exclusively on mobile to Netflix subscribers around the world. No other information was shared, but our curiosity has been piqued all the same.
Assassin's Creed Invictus
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): TBC
Release Date: TBC
Ubisoft says that it is "investigating how we will bring back standalone multiplayer experiences into the Assassin's Creed universe." Assassin's Creed multiplayer has been atop wish-lists for years now – it's been nine years since the mode featured 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 know that it'll 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'.
