The future of Assassin’s Creed: Japan, China, Infinity and Netflix

Lots going on.

Alongside details of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a title set in Baghdad and coming in 2023, Ubisoft also detailed the future of the franchise will look like.

Unsurprisingly, it’s very similar to rumours that were swirling ahead of Ubisoft Forward; let’s break it all down regardless.

Assassin’s Creed Red

Codenamed Red, Ubisoft has confirmed it is working on an Assassin’s Creed game that’s set in feudal Japan “and all its shinobi fantasties”.

Assassin’s Creed Codename RED is the next flagship title after Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the future of the open world RPG in Assassin’s Creed,” Ubisoft said in a press release.”It is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the studio behind Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, with Jonathan Dumont as Creative Director.”

Assassin’s Creed Hexe

Another flagship codenamed Hexe will follow Red, Ubisoft has advised.

“It is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, birthplace of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, with Clint Hocking as Creative Director,” Ubisoft also confirmed.

Nothing else is known about the title, but rumours suggest it is set during the end of the Holy Roman Empire and will deal with “witch trials”. Looking at the title’s logo, that doesn’t seem like a stretch.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity

Next is Infinity, which “will connect projects and players through different types of experiences, including released Assassin’s Creed games and the next ones to launch: Codename Red and Codename HEXE, the next two HD flagship games,” Ubisoft advised.

Multiplayer fans should be quite interested in Infinity, as Ubisoft added that, “as part of Codename INFINITY, multiplayer is set to return as a standalone experience in the Assassin’s Creed franchise.”

Assassin’s Creed Jade

Jade is a free-to-play, “AAA RPG action-adventure” mobile title that’s set in Ancient China.

“Players will be able to create their own character and discover the story of the first Assassins in China,” Ubisoft said in a press release.

Assassin’s Creed Netflix TV show

While details are scarse, Ubisoft advised it is partnering with Netflix for a live-action TV show.

Moreover, Ubisoft will work with Netflix to bring a mobile Assassin’s Creed game to its platform.

We’ll have more information on all these projects as it becomes available.
