If you're one of the many who believe that there are way too many Assassin's Creed video games, then just wait until you hear what Ubisoft has in store.
Despite Ubisoft's supposedly best intentions with delaying Assassin's Creed Shadows, it may not be enough to rescue it from its likely result.
The franchise, which has already released 13 titles, with a 14th in the delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows, plus an additional 17 spin-offs, VR and mobile titles, is reportedly aiming to release 10 titles in five years. That means by 2030, there will be approximately 41 titles in all. Not even Resident Evil has that many titles.
That information comes by way of reliable insider, Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming, who in his report on the Black Flag Remake's fast development, noted that Ubisoft has grand plans for its decade-plus franchise.
Per Henderson:
Insider Gaming understands that this is part of Ubisoft’s ramp-up strategy for the Assassin’s Creed series, which will see around 10 Assassin’s Creed titles of various lengths and experiences released in the next five years. This includes Assassin’s Creed codename Jade, a fully-fledged mobile offering with a tentative date in Q2 2025 (FYQ1 26)....
