Ubisoft's plans for new Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Ghost Recon games
Ubisoft has recently revealed its future plans for some of its biggest game franchises. After a record loss of €1.3 billion in fiscal year 2025-2026, the company is hoping that new titles from the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Ghost Recon series will help drive a recovery. This article covers the key details of Ubisoft's upcoming releases and financial situation.
Ubisoft's financial situation
In its latest financial report, Ubisoft posted a record operating loss of €1.3 billion for fiscal year 2025-2026. Net bookings for the final quarter were down 54% compared with the same quarter last year. The decline comes as Ubisoft prepares to launch new titles. Even so, the company has outlined a "light release schedule" for the coming fiscal year 2026-2027.
Ubisoft's upcoming releases
Ubisoft has confirmed that new entries in the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Ghost Recon franchises are planned for release through March 2029. Specifically, the next Assassin's Creed title, believed to be Assassin's Creed Hexe, is expected to arrive in 2027. This follows the release of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, which is set to launch on July 9 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Assassin's Creed Hexe overview
Assassin's Creed Hexe, which has reportedly been delayed several times, is believed to focus on the witch trials in 16th-century Europe. It was announced in 2022, but has since faced several setbacks, including the loss of two directors. No further details about the game have been revealed yet.
Current challenges for Ubisoft
Over the past year, Ubisoft has cancelled seven projects and delayed six others. The company has also seen staff reductions, with around 1,200 employees leaving. Despite these challenges, reports suggest Ubisoft is still working on a solid content pipeline, with stronger and more diverse releases expected in the 2027-2028 and 2028-2029 periods.
