Ubisoft, desperately in want of a serious win, lastly obtained one with Murderer’s Creed Shadows – however solely after it delayed the open-world sport on two events to verify it did not miss the mark on high quality. Clearly studying the correct lesson from Shadows, it is simply introduced that it will be delaying a few of its “largest productions” that had been set to launch this monetary yr, and whereas it hasn’t namedropped any particular upcoming video games, that greater than probably means an extended wait to see the subsequent Murderer’s Creed, the Splinter Cell remake, and the rumored new entry within the Ghost Recon collection.
As you may probably have seen a couple of weeks again, as a part of its plan to bounce again from a collection of underwhelming and poorly performing video games, Ubisoft is making a model new subsidiary in partnership with Tencent. The Chinese language large is injecting over a billion {dollars} into this new enterprise, which shall be accountable for Ubisoft’s three largest IPs: Murderer’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. The primary physique of Ubisoft, which takes care of all the pieces else, can be trying to minimize prices and rethink its processes. This total shakeup, in tandem with the constructive outcomes it noticed by pushing again Murderer’s Creed Shadows, is now seeing them give extra growth time to a number of the upcoming video games it was set to launch this monetary yr, which runs till April 2026.
“After an intensive assessment of its pipeline that occurred from October to December, the Group determined to supply further growth time to a few of its largest productions to be able to create the very best circumstances for achievement,” Ubisoft’s newest earnings report reads. “This choice has already been useful to the standard of Murderer’s Creed Shadows. As a consequence, FY2026-27 and FY2027-28 will see vital development vs. FY2025-26 on the again of sturdy content material coming from the Group’s largest manufacturers.”
That is speculative on my half right here, as Ubisoft would not particularly title which IP and tasks are getting pushed again internally, however I can see this affecting the Splinter Cell remake (reportedly resulting from launch in 2026) and possibly even Murderer’s Creed Hexe (at the moment and not using a launch window however revealed all the way in which again in 2022).
Do not count on there to be a whole void of new PC video games from Ubisoft over the subsequent 12 months or so, although. Two formally revealed tasks that do appear to be secure from the delays although are technique sport sequel Anno 117 Pax Romana (2025 launch window) and the remake of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time (2026 launch window). These are each listed as video games Ubisoft expects to launch this monetary yr. It additionally says that different titles anticipated for this window “shall be introduced at a later stage.”
There are additionally some unconfirmed however rumored tasks that you just may now be ready a bit longer for, now that Ubisoft is extending growth timelines. A report from Insider Gaming earlier this yr claimed {that a} new Ghost Recon sport is within the works and was aiming to launch in 2025 or 2026. It is also been claimed that the inevitable Far Cry 7 was focusing on a 2026 launch, and a possible extraction shooter spinoff is allegedly being labored on as properly.
Different rumored Ubisoft video games embrace a remake of Murderer’s Creed Black Flag, a standalone AC multiplayer sport, and a battle royale with sturdy Apex Legends vibes. Nonetheless, on condition that Ubisoft is within the means of reorganizing and value slicing, who is aware of if and after we’ll see these get introduced and launched.
