Assassin’s Creed is still a money-making behemoth though, and reports from reliable insider Tom Henderson that claimed Ubisoft plans on releasing ten new Assassin’s Creed games before 2030 suggests that the developer knows it too. That’s obviously a lot of games in very little time, but we still didn’t know the frequency of these releases – that is until Henderson further elaborated on the Assassin’s Creed master plan on the most recent episode of the Xbox Two + One podcast.
Assassin’s Creed Will Reportedly Get A New Game Every Six Months For A Decade
In the podcast, Henderson talks a little about Ubisoft’s current development pipeline for the next few years, which he describes as “strong”. He lists a bunch of titles that are currently unannounced, including a new Ghost Recon game, Far Cry 7, the rumored Rayman title, an extraction shooter called Far Cry: Maverick, before then going into the many, many Assassin’s Creed games in development.They’ve got Assassin’s Creed Shadows, they’ve also got Assassin’s Creed Invictus next year, Assassin’s Creed Hexe, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake, and they plan to do a new Assassin’s Creed every six months or so for the next ten years, I believe.
If Ubisoft actually sticks to those plans, that means we’ll be getting 20 Assassin’s Creed games of varying size and scope over the next ten years, which is a completely absurd level of output that you have to wonder whether a developer that’s already in a bit of trouble can pull off. Not to mention that these plans may not go ahead if Ubisoft actually decides to accept a buyout and go private, as recent rumors have suggested.
We’ll have to wait and see how this bombardment of Assassin’s Creed games actually manifests, or whether this reported plan is something Ubisoft sticks to at all. If it does, get ready for a lot more Assassin’s Creed in the future, for better or for worse.
