After more than two decades at Ubisoft, the franchise head for Assassin’s Creed – Marc-Alexis Côté – has officially left the company.

Following its surprise announcement a couple months ago, Ubisoft is set to officially unveil its Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Valley of Memory DLC later today.

Ever since its first entry back in 2007, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has vastly expanded its scope with each new title – for better and for worse. With the latest piece of DLC for Assassin’s Creed Shadows available now, the team at Ubisoft have admitted that some of their previous games, in particular AC: Valhalla, became “messy” and was “a monster” of a game.

For the past few years now, we’ve been hearing a bunch of leaks and rumours claiming that Ubisoft is planning to remake the highly-praised 2013 entry in the long-running Assassin’s Creed franchise – AC IV: Black Flag. Though yet to be officially announced, a ton of supposed details for the upcoming project have leaked; including the fact that the remake is getting rid of all the modern day scenes.

According to data miners Ubisoft is planning to announce something Assassin’s Creed related soon – possibly being the long awaited Black Flag Remake.

Ubisoft has detailed its Summer updates for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, including QoL improvements, additional skills and a release date for its first DLC.

4 months after announcing that the game had surpassed 3 million players, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has now officially hit 5 million total.

5 years on from its initial announcement, the live-action Assassin’s Creed adaptation from Netflix is finally going ahead.

Following their dev-log late last month, details surrounding Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ post-launch plans have leaked, including a co-op mode coming next year.

Ubisoft reportedly has 9 different Assassin’s Creed games planned to release over the next 6 years, details for which have now leaked.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows was one of the most important games for Ubisoft in quite some time, as its success could determine the future of the publisher in a ton of ways. Fortunately, Shadows has so far been a pretty big success. Wanting to keep the momentum going, Ubisoft has now revealed the full Year 1 roadmap for AC: Shadows.

Though yet to be officially announced, the PEGI game rating board has listed Assassin’s Creed Shadows as coming to Nintendo Switch 2.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows seems to be performing exactly as Ubisoft needed it to, with the game sitting as the 2nd-best-selling title of 2025 so far (in the US).

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a massively important game for Ubisoft, with the publisher suffering from a long string of commercial disappointments and the fear of being absorbed into competing companies. Fortunately, for now Shadows seems to be doing what was needed – with the game having already surpassed 3 million players.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows seems to be doing all it can to help save Ubisoft from the hole it dug itself into, achieving the 2nd biggest launch in series history.

Despite being an already solid upgrade, the PS5 Pro version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will get further enhancements in a future update.

After a ton of waiting and many delays, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is finally here. While Ubisoft’s latest AC title may not be able to singlehandedly dig the publisher out of the hole it’s found itself in, initial response to the game appears solid, with the title having surpassed 1 million players in just a couple hours.

Ubisoft is betting a lot on Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Thanks to a number of less-than-stellar releases, controversies and the like, the publisher has been on the verge of being sold off for quite some time. Unfortunately, it seems as though – despite the added delays for increased polish – AC: Shadows is more or less just another Ubisoft title.

Despite its troubled development, Ubisoft has claimed that pre-order numbers for Assassin’s Creed Shadows are “solid” ahead of its launch on the 20th of March.

Ubisoft looks set to support the Switch 2 from the off with multiple titles – including two Assassin’s Creed games in 2025.

Years on from updating the likes of Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey, AC: Syndicate has finally gotten a current-gen 60fps patch.

Following rumours, Ubisoft confirmed their upcoming Assassin’s Creed Infinity hub (Animus Hub) will be a completely free service when it launches next year.

Following the surprise last-minute delay of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has now explained their reasons for the game’s push-back.

With Assassin’s Creed Shadows being delayed to 2025 (alongside some other content changes) the game’s Collector’s Edition has now seen a significant price drop.

After years of releasing all its titles first on the Epic Games Store as well as its own launcher, Ubisoft have finally confirmed that they will begin to publish their games day-and-date on Steam starting with next year’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows. As part of this, the publisher has been furthering the integration of its games with Steam – finally bringing Achievements to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Exactly a year on from the initial launch of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Ubisoft have announced that the game is finally coming to Steam later this October.

Since the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S back in late 2020, we have seen Ubisoft update many of its Assassin’s Creed titles to support 60fps of the now-current-gen consoles. Oddly, one of the primary titles to not get updated was Assassin’s Creed Syndicate – though this appears to be changing soon.

Ubisoft has made it well known that it plans to go all out on Assassin’s Creed over the coming years, with almost a dozen games in the works and a hub to play them all in. It therefore comes as little surprise that at least a couple of those games are set to be remakes...

Last month, Ubisoft officially lifted the curtains on Assassin’s Creed Shadows with a flashy cinematic teaser, giving us our first look at the world – but no gameplay.
