Next Assassin's Creed Game Gets Concerning Update
Ubisoft has made a big move with the next mainline Assassin's Creed game that could impact its eventual release date.
comicbook.comThe latest solid news is that Ubisoft says it is shifting more focus toward what’s next for Assassin’s Creed, while also keeping several projects in development, including Jade and new work that could bring co-op back to the series. The most likely next mainline game remains Assassin’s Creed Hexe, which recent coverage says is still in development but may be pushed a bit further out after a creative-lead change.[3][6]
What’s been said recently
Ubisoft’s March 2026 update says Shadows is moving into its final phase of support, and the teams are now focusing more on future Assassin’s Creed projects. That update also notes that several projects are in the works at different stages, including Jade, and that Ubisoft is exploring co-op again for the franchise.[6]
Hexe status
Hexe is still described as the next mainline entry and as something meant to feel different from past Assassin’s Creed games. A February 2026 report said Ubisoft replaced the creative lead on Hexe, which could mean a modest delay while the game is refined.[4][3]
Other projects in the pipeline
The clearest other named projects are Jade, the mobile Assassin’s Creed game set in China, and Invictus, the multiplayer-focused project that’s been discussed for years. Reports also keep mentioning a Black Flag remake, often under the codename Obsidian, though Ubisoft has not officially dated it.[2][5][8][6]
What to watch next
If you’re tracking the “next Assassin’s Creed game,” Hexe is the one most sources point to as the next big single-player release. If you want the broader picture, Ubisoft’s own update suggests the franchise is spreading into more formats again, including mobile, multiplayer, and possibly co-op experiences.[3][4][6]
