While most of Assassin's Creed fans' attention is firmly on Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, the big-budget remake of the iconic pirate adventure, there are several more projects in the pipeline in the works at Ubisoft, including a multiplayer spin-off game under the code name Invictus.
Officially greenlit back in 2022, the title is in development by a team of developers from another Ubisoft multiplayer title, For Honor. It's expected to be a standalone PvP multiplayer experience whenever it does launch.
Edward Kenway is back, and his cheeky welsh accent is better than ever in Black Flag Resynced.
