Assassin’s Creed Leak Has Fans Divided on Future Games

by

The Assassin’s Creed series, developed by Ubisoft, has seen numerous games over almost 18 years since its debut, and judging by upcoming releases, there’s no indication that the company is going to slow down. However, a recent leak about future Assassin’s Creed games has sparked debate among players regarding the future of Ubisoft’s main series. Some players are excited about the volume of new Assassin’s Creed content, but many others express concern that we might be nearing (or may have already reached) a point where there’s too much Assassin’s Creed, potentially leading to oversaturation.

The upcoming chapters for Assassin’s Creed, specifically Assassin’s Creed Shadows, are outlined in Ubisoft’s official roadmap. However, fresh details regarding their future projects have been leaked via Insider Gaming’s report. The report claims that Ubisoft intends to produce nine new Assassin’s Creed games within the next six years. This lineup is rumored to consist of more role-playing games akin to recent Assassin’s Creed titles such as Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Additionally, the plan includes three remakes of previous games, two multiplayer experiences, a mobile game, and a smaller project with limited details at present.

It appears there’s quite a buzz about the latest Assassin’s Creed installments, and fans seem divided about it. On the Assassin’s Creed subreddit, where many discussions like this take place, some enthusiasts of the newer style of Assassin’s Creed games have been comforted by the prospect of more RPG-style games in the future. Games such as Assassin’s Creed Mirage hark back to the older days of Assassin’s Creed, but the popularity of games like Valhalla, Shadows, and others demonstrates that players also want more RPG experiences.

While some expressed excitement about potential future installments in the series following the announced plans, others were less enthusiastic, sharing concerns about the frequency of these games. One player echoed this sentiment by stating, “It seems like too many games” when considering the release schedules of other major franchises from non-Ubisoft companies, which typically manage to put out a game annually or every few years. Quality was another recurring theme in the comments, with players expressing doubts that such a frequent release schedule would allow for high-quality games, stating that it “sounds excessive and unsustainable” and suggesting that Ubisoft might not prioritize quality over quantity. The Call of Duty series was mentioned as an example, a franchise which consistently outperforms its competitors but is not without criticism for the challenges faced by its annual releases each year.

With Ubisoft unveiling their vision for the upcoming Animus Hub, it’s not too unexpected to learn that there’s a substantial amount of Assassin’s Creed coming our way. Just like major franchises such as Call of Duty provide launchers and hubs for their various offerings, the Assassin’s Creed Animus Hub serves as a one-stop destination for enthusiasts to access any Assassin’s Creed game they desire at any moment in time. Currently, this includes titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, additional RPGs, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. However, since Ubisoft has developed a platform specifically for Assassin’s Creed experiences, it’s logical to anticipate that they will fill this space with more content in the future.

Since the launch of “Assassin’s Creed Shadows”, Ubisoft has remained relatively quiet about their plans for upcoming games in the series, but it’s been confirmed that titles such as “Assassin’s Creed Hexe” and “Assassin’s Creed Jade” are in development.
