Ubisoft plans to release two Assassin’s Creed titles in 2025, which exceeds industry expectations regarding their release schedule. Assassin’s Creed Invictus will be a standalone multiplayer game that will bring back legacy Assassin's Creed series characters. The upcoming Assassin’s Creed Invictus game will offer new entertainment experiences through its online gameplay features after the franchise left multiplayer gameplay unexplored since Unity’s co-op mode.

A remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag with the codename Obsidian will be the second upcoming Assassin’s Creed project. The release date of Obsidian shifted to 2026, likely due to internal delays of Shadows, which became the next entry in the main series. The development of Obsidian may receive accelerated support from Ubisoft, resulting in an earlier beta or reveal this year.

The Black Flag remake will be more than just enhanced graphics. The upcoming remake version of Black Flag uses an advanced Anvil engine with improvements to its ship control systems, combat mechanics, and dynamic environments. The developers are striving to update the pirate experience yet keeping the core features that made the first game popular. According to reports, Ubisoft intends to release ten Assassin’s Creed games during the next five years while also introducing a new era of frequent large-scale franchise entries.
