Three new Assassin's Creed games are in active development

Assassin's Creed is approaching its 20th anniversary in 2027 with three new games confirmed in active development. The franchise just shipped Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced — a remake of the 2013 pirate classic — to strong reviews, scoring 93% Critics Recommend on OpenCritic, and Ubisoft is already pushing forward on what comes next.

The most high-profile upcoming entry is Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, first announced in 2022 and still without a release window or confirmed platforms. Franchise head of content Jean Guesdon described it in March 2026 as "a unique, darker, narrative-driven Assassin's Creed experience, set during a pivotal moment in history." Pre-reveal reporting and the announcement trailer point to 16th-century Europe and witch hunts as the setting and theme. Magical abilities were once expected to feature, but recent leaks suggest they've been cut — and given that Hexe has seen multiple leadership changes and rumored team reshuffles throughout 2026, the game has likely shifted considerably from its original vision. The second confirmed project is Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile game for Android and iOS that Ubisoft first revealed in September 2022 alongside Hexe. Unlike typical mobile fare, Jade is built to look and play like a console game rather than a touch-first experience — Ubisoft showed off gameplay at Gamescom 2023, though a release date remains unannounced.

Ubisoft has kept the Assassin's Creed pipeline unusually busy in recent years. Mirage returned the series to its stealth roots in 2023, and Shadows — set in feudal Japan — launched in 2025 to a strong reception after a high-profile delay. The franchise has historically juggled multiple simultaneous projects across different studios, and the current slate continues that pattern, with each entry targeting a distinct tone and audience.

With no firm release dates attached to any of the three announced projects, the timeline for what comes after Black Flag Resynced remains unclear. Hexe in particular has had a turbulent development, and the lack of any concrete update beyond Guesdon's March 2026 comments suggests Ubisoft isn't ready to show it publicly yet. How the community responds will likely depend on whether Hexe can deliver on its darker, narrative-driven promise — especially after the leadership instability behind the scenes.
