It's been a bit of a shaky year for developer/publisher Ubisoft. After a rough 2024 that brought big titles like Star Wars Outlaws and Skull and bones fails to meet internal expectations, early 2025 hasn't fared much better, with the publisher's February 2025 financial report confirming a 31.4% drop in revenue. Things looked pretty grim for Ubisoft's future for a while, but according to Ubisoft's November financial report, things may not be as bad as they seem. Assassin's Creed continues to prove it's worth its weight in gold.
It may have met with a somewhat mixed reception from fans, but Assassin's Creed Shadows when it was released in March 2025, it received very favorable reviews from many critics, currently sitting at an 81 top critic average on OpenCritic. Assassin's Creed Shadows it also “outperformed” in terms of revenue, as did Legacy, according to Ubisoft's November financial report Assassin's Creed titles, with the entire franchise collectively generating “211 million session days”. With the future of many of its franchises unclear, Ubisoft seems more likely than ever to go all-in. Assassin's Creedand that could mean a busy 2026 for the popular stealth-action franchise.
I just platinumed the most overlooked Assassin's Creed and I think it's a must play before the Black Flag remake
On my way to platinum, I've just finished one of the most overlooked entries in the series in every Assassin's Creed game, and it's begging to be replayed.
What to expect from Assassin's Creed Shadows in 2026
While this is clearly a big hit for the publisher, Ubisoft has confirmed it Assassin's Creed Shadows will no longer receive a second extension. Back in November, Assassin's Creed Shadows Associate game director Simon Lemay-Comtois told JorRaptor in an interview that “there is no Awaji-sized expansion planned.”
While a second full-sized expansion may not be on the cards Assassin's Creed Shadowsthere is a possibility that it could continue to receive updates and new content on a smaller scale in 2026, similar to its recent Attack on Titan-thematic crossover quest. Fans who raised Assassin's Creed Shadows the Nintendo Switch 2 can also probably expect a few updates in the coming months that will improve the game's performance on the handheld hybrid.
Every officially confirmed Assassin's Creed project that could appear in 2026
Netflix's live-action adaptation of Assassin's Creed – likely to be shown in 2026
A partnership was first announced in 2020 between Netflix and Assassin's Creed it seems that it will finally come true. Live action Assassin's Creed series is officially in the works at Netflix, with Roberto Patino and David Wiener both on board as showrunners and executive producers. Just a few weeks ago, Netflix officially confirmed that Laura Marcus, Zachary Hart, Toby Wallace, and Lola Petticrew would be joining the cast, indicating that the show is gaining traction behind the scenes.
While Netflix Assassin's Creed live adaptation doesn't have a release window and filming likely won't start for a while, it's likely that fans won't get another update on the show before the end of 2026. More specifically, fans can probably expect to hear more casting announcements in the coming 12 months.
Assassin's Creed Jade – Likely to be shown in 2026
Announced at the same September 2022 Ubisoft Forward Showcase as ANDsassassin's creed Hex, Assassin's Creed Infinityand Assassin's Creed Shadows (then known as Codename Red), Assassin's Creed Jade is supposed to be the franchise's first full-fledged foray into the world of mobile gaming. Although announced more than three years ago and going through several rounds of closed alpha and beta testing, Assassin's Creed Jade still doesn't have a specific release date.
But given how long the game has been in development, it seems likely that fans will hear something official Assassin's Creed Jade soon. Although Ubisoft skipped its annual Forward show in 2025, it's possible that it could return in the summer of 2026, given the number of projects confirmed and rumored to be in the works. If the Ubisoft Forward Showcase appears in 2026, it seems likely Assassin's Creed Jade will appear, possibly next to the release window.
Assassin's Creed Hexe — Could be out in 2026
Also announced in September 2022, even less Assassin's Creed Hex has been shown for the past three years. Aside from an initial trailer that hinted at a 17th-century Germanic setting and occult themes, nothing official has come. Assassin's Creed Hex from 2022. That said, some leaks from Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson surfaced as early as March 2025, claiming that Hex won't release before it's talked about Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake a Assassin's Creed Invictus.
Due to the lack of specific information in the area Assassin's Creed Hexit's hard to predict when/if she'll eventually come out, or even when fans will see her next. But if the development went smoothly, fans could at least see the reveal trailer HexCharacters and user settings in 2026, possibly during the Ubisoft Forward event.
Assassin's Creed Invictus — could be released in 2026
Although it did not appear in the September 2022 Ubisoft Forward Showcase, Assassin's Creed Invictus was first mentioned on the same day through an interview with Assassin's Creed Vice President Executive Producer Marc-Alexis Côté. The only official information fans know about Invictus is that it will be a multiplayer project. Much like Hexthere is no official indication of a release window Hex or a suggestion of how far along in development it may be.
That is, as Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming claimed in March 2025 Assassin's Creed Invictus it was slated for release in 2025. Although the game apparently didn't launch in 2025, Henderson's leak would suggest that it's nearing completion. Barring any major internal delays, it seems possible that fans could finally get Assassin's Creed Invictus in 2026, if not in full form, then at least through the debut trailer.
Every Rumored Assassin's Creed Project That Could Appear in 2026
Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake — most likely to be revealed in 2026
Known far and wide as gaming's worst-kept secret Assassin's Creed Black Flag the remake still hasn't been officially announced by Ubisoft, but its existence has been hinted at countless times over the past few years. The most recent set of leaks came in November and December 2025, when Assassin's Creed Black Flag re-synced appeared on the official PEGI ratings website, and when Insider Gaming's Grant Taylor-Hill claimed that the long-rumored remake could arrive as early as March 2026.
Obviously, all rumors and leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt, but Assassin's Creed Black Flag a remake really seems like a matter of when and not if at this point, given how often it's been released over the years. Even if it doesn't come out this year, it seems very likely that Ubisoft will at least make an official announcement Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake in 2026.
New main Assassin's Creed RPG – probably not revealed in 2026
As this list proves, Ubisoft already has its plate full of development Assassin's Creed projects. Despite this, recent job postings (November 2025) suggest that Ubisoft Quebec could be working on a new Assassin's Creed RPG entry already. But given how fresh these job offers are, fans likely won't see another Quebec Assassin's Creed RPG in 2026.
