During the Ubisoft Forward, an entire section was dedicated to the studio’s flagship franchise: Assassin’s Creed. We had news of Valhalla, Mirage, but also all the other AC experiences to come. And the least we can say is that the future of the license looks rather busy.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity: a hub for Red and Hexe
If we expect the ultimate (and free) expansion of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and a separate opus dedicated to Basim in the near future, there are plenty of other experiences awaiting players who are fans of the leap from faith to faith. future, starting with the famous Assassin’s Creed Infinity. Since its announcement nearly a year ago, this major project has been intriguing and has been the subject of many questions. It was therefore normal to find him during this Assassin’s Creed Showcase, although it was brief.
And for good reason, Infinity is not a game in itself, but rather a hub on which players can find, among other things, two new opuses: Assassin’s Creed Codename Red et Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe. The first will certainly tell you something. His name had indeed leaked a few months ago. Assassin’s Creed will therefore take the path of feudal Japan to immerse us in the skin of a shinobi. A short teaser has been released, but we still have very little information on this next big Assassin’s Creed game, except that Jonathan Dumont (Assassin’s Creed Odyssey) is the creative director.
This is also the case for another project that Ubisoft Montreal is working on: Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe. Even more enigmatic, the game promises to be a totally different experience from previous games, without further details. Nevertheless, the short teaser and its name allow us to guess the theme of this rather special opus: witchcraft. If the wooden structures were a big clue, the word Hexe (witch in German) leaves little room for mystery. It remains to be seen what form this new Assassin’s Creed will take and in what period it will plunge us (perhaps in the time of the German witch hunts). Clint Hocking (Far Cry 2, Splinter Cell) is overseeing the project.
As for Infinity, whose principle we detail in another article, there is still an important point that emerges from this showcase. This hub being a way to connect all Assassin’s Creed players, the question of multiplayer necessarily arises. According to Marc-Alexis Côté, who plays an important role in the development of the license, Ubisoft is currently working to integrate a whole multiplayer section into this experience. And that goes through the need to rethink the different stand-alones so that they use these multi-mechanisms. Good news for fans of multiplayer games but it remains to be seen what it will be once Infinity unveiled.
Un open-world Assassin’s Creed sur mobile
Ubisoft also revealed to us through a trailer Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade. This opus takes place in China (between 2070 and 256 BC), but this is not its only particularity. Indeed, it is an open-world game designed for mobile. The usual mechanics of Assassin’s Creed have therefore been optimized for touch and should allow players to discover an Assassin’s Creed experience that is both familiar and innovative. On the program: parkour, secrets to discover, intense fights, but also a good dose of personalization.
Small feature: for the first time, you will be able to completely create your own assassin. Suffice to say that the whole personalization pan, more and more present over the episodes, crosses a new course there. Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade therefore seems particularly ambitious, especially for mobile. We are therefore waiting to see what he has in store for us. No release date for the moment but we are promised that the game will arrive “soon”. And it’s not the only AC mobile game planned.
Assassin’s Creed x Netflix
Ubisoft has indeed mentioned to us a mobile game developed in partnership with Netflix. The latter, once finished, will therefore be available on the application which has recently sought to expand its gaming catalog. We know little for the moment, except that the title is part of a more global partnership with Netflix.
A live-action series is indeed being produced for the VOD platform. The information is not new, in fact it is almost two years old. And obviously, we will still have to be patient. The Assassin’s Creed series is only at the beginning of its development. On the other hand, we learned that the showrunner of the series will be Jeb Stuart (Vikings : Valhalla). If you’re not the patient type, you can always fall back on other video content in the meantime: Beyond the Creed.
Beyond the Creed, Symphonic Adventure… Beyond Games
On the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the license, Ubisoft has decided to make another small gift to the fans: a documentary looking behind the scenes of Assassin’s Creed. This documentary brings together developers and industry professionals (like Carole Quintaine, for example) who come to share their anecdotes and some crisp details about this franchise that has become cult. Unlike Netflix, no subscription required. In effect, Beyond the Creed is available very soon on the Ubisoft and gTV Youtube channels.
Ubisoft also took advantage of its showcase to remind you of the different ways to extend the Assassin’s Creed experience this year. Of course we find the Assassin’s Creed Symphonic Adventure immersive concert tour, the grand premiere of which will take place at the Grand Rex in Paris on October 29. But that’s not all. If you’re the curious type, you can also get your hands on the official License Artbook, new figurines, the novel The Magus Conspiracythe webtoon following the adventures of Edward Kenway (Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag) or simply listen to the podcast Echoes of History. Suffice to say that if you are fans of the Assassin’s Creed universe, the present and the future promise to be rich in content of all kinds.
