Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been out for a minute, and while players are still slicing their way through feudal Japan, Ubisoft isn’t slowing down. In fact, they just pulled back the curtain on what’s coming next—it seems they added so much to their roadmap for the franchise that we have to wonder if Ubisoft just made Assassin’s Creed its entire personality.
Let’s break it down.
This Assassin’s Creed game is set to take place in China and is possibly the next title in this ever-growing franchise.
Now, we can play as assassins in this multiplayer AC! Silent stabbings in the courtyard, anyone? Invictus is not that. Think PvP minigames, a little Fall Guys chaos, and AC characters dropped into wild modes that are more competitive playground than historical epic.
Ubisoft seems dead set on making this one appeal to a wider, casual crowd, and hey—if it’s polished, it could be the sleeper hit of the roadmap.
Obsidian — remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, rebuilt from the deck up in the new Anvil engine. Expected to launch around the same time as Invictus, this one’s banking on nostalgia and better ocean physics to deliver another golden age for pirates.
Ubisoft isn’t done with the epic open-world RPGs. Scarlet is the next big title after Hexe wraps up, and while details are thin, it’s strongly rumored to be the long-rumored Nebula project. That would mean three settings: India, the Aztec Empire, and the Mediterranean. Yes, three. Why pick one when you can do too much?
Stardust will be Ubisoft’s second remake (is there such a thing as too many?) and enters production after Obsidian ships. No one knows yet what game it’s remaking, but the fact that it has a codename this early is? Safe to say it’s something they expect to hit big.
Launching shortly after Stardust, Emerald is another multiplayer-focused game. Like Invictus, it’s got a 5-year live ops plan in its calendar (probably in glaring red marker). It might be a rework of earlier PvE concepts that were named Raid or Echoes, but one of those seems to have been quietly shelved. R.I.P.
Yes, Ubisoft already has plans for a third RPG and a third remake, dubbed RPG3 and Remake3, respectively. No devs, no themes, no settings—just placeholders on the timeline. RPG3 lands after Scarlet finishes its two years of support. Remake3 shows up a year after that.
And if all this remake-multiplayer pairing works? Expect another mystery multiplayer game right around 2031. Because why not?
Assassin’s Creed isn’t slowing down—it’s multiplying. Ubisoft’s roadmap reads like a crossover between a history book and a Gantt chart on fire. With mobile games, remakes, minigame chaos, and three-setting RPGs, the series is morphing into a full-blown platform.
Whether this roadmap sticks the landing or crashes into development delays, one thing’s clear: we’re gonna be neck-deep in hidden blades for the next decade.
