However, in addition to the games that the company has confirmed are in the works, it seems almost just as many unannounced titles are also on the docket. That’s as per a new report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson. In a previous report, Henderson briefly detailed several of these unannounced titles, and has now reiterated those reports and added new details.

The most prominent of these is allegedly a remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, which was recently in the headlines courtesy of a rumour. As per Henderson, the remake “has only just been greenlit”.

In addition, Ubisoft Sofia (Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation, Assassin’s Creed Rogue) is said to be working on a single player game codenamed Project Nebula, which is currently in the prototype stage and will feature three settings- India, the Aztec Empire, and the Mediterranean.

Then there’s Project Raid, a free-to-play 4 player co-op game developed by Ubisoft Chengdu that will allegedly features characters from across the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and Project Echoes, a multiplayer title by Ubisoft Annecy that will make use of Ubisoft’s Scalar technology. Henderson also claims that a sequel to Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR is also being discussed internally.

Beyond these, Ubisoft currently has six Assassin’s Creed games confirmed to be in development- Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which is due out this year; Assassin’s Creed Project RED, which, as per Henderson’s report, is targeting a 2024 launch; Assassin’s Creed Codename HEXE, which is allegedly in pre-production and targeting a 2025/26 launch; mobile game Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade; aforementioned virtual reality title Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR; and multiplayer game Assassin’s Creed Codename Invictus.

That’s not the only way the upcoming action-adventure title will be appealing to veteran fans of the franchise though. In the video, the developer has also revealed that Assassin’s Creed Mirage will feature a “nostalgic” visual filter that will apply a desaturated blue-gray look to the game’s graphics, making them look shockingly close to what the original Assassin’s Creed looked like. Check it out in action in the video below.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is due out on October 12 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Expect to hear more about the game at Ubisoft Forward on June 12.

The same was confirmed by CEO Yves Guillemot during the company’s most recent earnings call (via VGC). Guillemot says the expansion will happen “over the coming years” as part of Ubisoft’s “progressive reallocation of resources”. Currently, the company already has over 2,000 people working on the Assassin’s Creed franchise across a number of studios.

“As part of our progressive reallocation of resources, we notably plan to increase the number of talents working on the Assassin’s Creed brand by 40% over the coming years,” Guillemot said.

Currently, Ubisoft has six Assassin’s Creed titles that are confirmed to be in development. Closest to launch is Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which is likely to get its long-awaited gameplay reveal at the Ubisoft Forward showcase next month, though reports have claimed that the game has been internally delayed to October. The next two mainline instalments after that, Codename RED and Codename HEXE, are also currently in the works.

An open world action RPG for mobile devices is in development in the form of Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade, in addition to VR title Nexus and standalone multiplayer game Invictus.

As per leaks from earlier this year, in addition to the aforementioned six titles, Ubisoft has another four in varying stages of production that it hasn’t yet publicly spoken about- Project Nebula, a game that will feature three distinct settings; Project Raid, a free-to-play four-player co-op title; Project Echoes, a multiplayer game built on Ubisoft’s Scalar cloud computing technology; and a sequel to the aforementioned Nexus.

One of those games is Project Nebula, a new title developed by Ubisoft Sofia, the studio that handled Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation and Assassin’s Creed Rogue. Reportedly, Project Nebula will have three different settings, namely India, the Aztec Empire, and the Mediterranean.

Then there’s Project Raid, a free-to-play four-player co-op title developed by Ubisoft Chengdu, which will allegedly feature playable characters from across the franchise’s history. Another unannounced title mentioned by the report is Project Echoes, a multiplayer game built on Ubisoft’s Scalar cloud computing technology, built by Ubisoft Annecy, which has previously worked on the multiplayer components of past Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell titles and provided support on The Division 2.

The report also mentions that a sequel to unannounced VR title Assassin’s Creed Nexus is also already being discussed internally by Ubisoft.

Of course, in addition to the aforementioned titles, Ubisoft also has a number of Assassin’s Creed titles in the works that have been officially spoken about by the company, including Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Codename RED, Codename HEXE, Codename JADE, and the multiplayer title Invictus.

As per the report, Ubisoft is looking to revert to the series’ annual release schedule. Though delays are never out of the question (especially with modern-day Ubisoft), the current plan (allegedly) is to launch Mirage and Nexus in 2023, Codename RED in 2024, Invictus in 2025, and Codename HEXE in 2026.

It’s also been claimed that Codename RED is in good shape behind the scenes and will feature two playable characters- read more on that through here.
