There are no shortage of upcoming Assassin's Creed games for fans to look forward to, as Ubisoft's flagship stealth series already has a number of new entries in the works. The most imminent launch of them all is Assassin's Creed Shadows, which will – after years of begging from fans – finally take the Order of Asssassins' fight to Feudal Japan.
But that's just a taste of what's to come, as everything from a mobile-only game to a mysterious witch-y release has been announced by Ubisoft.
Joining a lineup of upcoming Ubisoft games, it's certainly time for fans of all things Assassin's Creed to get excited about the future. Following the release of Assassin's Creed Mirage back in 2023 - which delivered a tighter experience about Basim before the events of Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to bring the series back with dual protagonists in 2025.
If you're looking for a full overview of what awaits us, read on below as we take you through a full recap of all of the upcoming Assassin's Creed games in the works.
Recent updates
This roundup of upcoming Assassin's Creed games was updated on January 9, 2025, ensuring everything is up-to-date and accurate.
Upcoming Assassin's Creed games
Assassin's Creed Shadows
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS5
Release Date: March 20, 2025
Assassin's Creed Shadows will be the first – and perhaps most anticipated – game to launch from the series' upcoming batch of games. Originally announced as Codename Red, Assassin's Creed Shadows will follow dual protagonists Naoe and Yasuke through an open-world rendition of Feudal Japan.
Though the game was originally set to release in November 2024, it was pushed back to February 2025 before once again being delayed to March 20, 2025. According to Ubisoft, the latest delay will "ensure an even more ambitious and engaging day-one experience" - and given how well a recent deep-dive of the game's parkour has been received, it's seems the developer really is working to make its long-awaited trip to Japan worth the wait.
Assassin's Creed Animus Hub
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec, Ubisoft Montreal
Platform(s): TBC
Release date: TBC 2025
Assassin's Creed Infinity - now officially known as the Animus Hub - is a little difficult to explain, but it could change the way that we interact with Assassin's Creed games going forward. Ubisoft is effectively building an interactive hub that will function like the Animus, allowing you to jump between different historical playgrounds while simultaneously progressing the modern-day narrative framing that has been with the series since the beginning.
Though Infinity was originally planned to launch alongside Shadows on February 14, we're now expecting it to similarly be pushed back to March 20, 2025. The first two games to join the Infinity Hub will be Assassin's Creed Shadows and Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe, and it's then expected to expand and evolve over time. It's a little metaverse-y, but it also makes perfect sense for this franchise.
Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Platform(s): TBC
Release Date: TBC
Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe is being positioned as a "a very different type of Assassin's Creed game." Details are few and far between, but we do know that it's being created by Assassin's Creed Valhalla developer Ubisoft Montreal and that former Watch Dogs Legion creative director Clint Hocking will be leading production.
The first teaser trailer and game's codename suggest that Assassin's Creed Hexe will be set in 16th-century Europe during the infamous witch trials that engulfed the region. We could be in for a weird, subversive open world RPG here with Codename Hexe, and we're honestly here for a little more experimentation from the Assassin's Creed series.
Assassin's Creed Jade
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): Android, iOS
Release Date: TBC 2025
Assassin's Creed Jade is set to be the first truly open world Assassin's Creed game for mobile. Ubisoft has said that it's trying to build an authentic Assassin's Creed experience, albeit one that is totally optimized for touch controls. Assassin's Creed Jade will be set in China in the year 215 BCE – and, yes, you will be about to parkour across the Great Wall.
Originally revealed as Codename Jade before its official title was confirmed at GamesCom 2023 as simply Assassin's Creed Jade, it will also be the first game in the series to let you create your own assassin from scratch, which is a nice touch. We're expecting to see Jade launch after Shadows, but given Shadows' has been pushed back to March and we've heard very little about Jade since its closed beta, it remains to be seen where it lands in the year.
Assassin's Creed Netflix
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): Android, iOS
Release Date: TBC
Ubisoft and Netflix have entered a pretty broad collaboration agreement. There's a Netflix Assassin's Creed series in production (with showrunner Jed Stuart at the helm; the writer of such iconic action movies as Die Hard and The Fugitive), and three mobile games in development for Netflix's video game platform.
There are games based on the Valiant Hearts and Mighty Quest universes coming, and of course, one based in the world of Assassin's Creed, too. The Assassin's Creed Netflix game is in early development, but when it does launch, it'll be available exclusively on mobile to Netflix subscribers around the world. No other information was shared or has been since 2022, but our curiosity is still piqued all the same.
Assassin's Creed Invictus
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): TBC
Release Date: TBC
Ubisoft says that it is "investigating how we will bring back standalone multiplayer experiences into the Assassin's Creed universe." Assassin's Creed multiplayer has been atop wish lists for years now – it's been nine years since the mode featured in AC4: Black Flag and eight since co-op appeared in Assassin's Creed Unity.
Little is known about this standalone Assassin's Creed multiplayer game, although we know that it'll launch as part of the Assassin's Creed Infinity Hub, and franchise boss Marc-Alexis Coté has confirmed that the codename is 'Assassin's Creed Invictus'.
Return to one of the best Assassin's Creed games while you wait these out.
