Quantity instead of quality at Ubisoft? 10 Assassin’s Creed games by 2030

The French publisher and game developer is currently in a deep crisis. Nevertheless, the company has ambitious plans. A number of new titles should appear in a short period of time. Is that good news for fans?

Ubisoft

Lots of games in a short time

Despite the current uncertainty about the company’s future, Ubisoft still has ambitious plans for the next few years. This is reporting now Insider gamingand talks about the fact that the French publisher wants to publish a number of new titles for the Assassin’s Creed series.

More specifically, it is a strategy in which “around ten Assassin’s Creed title of different lengths and experiences will be published in the next five years”. So that’s a new part every six months.

Blackflag remake is well underway

However, there will not be ten main parts of the series for the PC or console. Rather, smartphone games and other fanchise projects also fall into this group. There is currently only rudimentary information about some titles such as AC Invictus, which is intended to be a purely multiplayer game for up to 16 players. However, other projects such as the remake of AC Black Flag are officially confirmed and also quite far in development. At least that’s what Insider Gaming is now writing.

New details and documentation about the game, which were sent to Insider Gaming on the condition that they not be made public, suggest that the game is already well into development and could be released much sooner than we all thought.

The plan was previously to release the remake in November 2025. The recent delay in AC Shadows, which will now only come on February 14, 2025 instead of November 15, 2024, should also push back the date for the Blackflag remake. It is therefore possible that the title, which is also known by the code name Obsidian, will not appear until 2026.

Bad games drop act bankruptcy

To what extent the number of planned games will affect their quality remains to be seen. Many of the titles are developed by different studios. Nevertheless, Ubisoft has recently had to take a lot of criticism for its releases such as Skull and Bones.

Just a few days ago, Ubisoft’s share price fell to 10.10 euros after the announcement of the poor sales figures for Star Wars Outlaws. This meant that the company’s stock market value was lower than it had been since the end of 2013. Since its all-time high in the summer of 2018, when a share cost 94.44 euros, that is a loss in value of almost 90 percent.

Even under pressure from shareholders, the management of the French publisher is dealing with this Sale of the company. Most recently, Tencent, which already holds 9.99 percent of the shares, was also discussed as a possible buyer. Tencent already includes developers such as Riot Games (League of Legends) and Grinding Gear Games (Path of Exile).
