Ubisoft, desperately in want of a significant win, lastly obtained one with Murderer’s Creed Shadows – however solely after it delayed the open-world sport on two events to ensure it did not miss the mark on high quality. Clearly studying the appropriate 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 12 months, 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 will probably have seen a number 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 will likely be chargeable for Ubisoft’s three largest IPs: Murderer’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. The primary physique of Ubisoft, which takes care of the whole lot else, can also be trying to minimize prices and rethink its processes. This general shakeup, in tandem with the optimistic outcomes it noticed by pushing again Murderer’s Creed Shadows, is now seeing them give extra growth time to a few of the upcoming video games it was set to launch this monetary 12 months, which runs till April 2026.
“After an intensive overview of its pipeline that happened from October to December, the Group determined to offer further growth time to a few of its largest productions as a way to create the very best circumstances for achievement,” Ubisoft’s newest earnings report reads. “This determination has already been useful to the standard of Murderer’s Creed Shadows. As a consequence, FY2026-27 and FY2027-28 will see important development vs. FY2025-26 on the again of robust 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 attributable to launch in 2026) and perhaps even Murderer’s Creed Hexe (presently with no launch window however revealed all the best way again in 2022).
Do not count on there to be an entire void of recent 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 12 months. It additionally says that different titles anticipated for this window “will likely be introduced at a later stage.”
There are additionally some unconfirmed however rumored tasks that you simply may now be ready a bit longer for, now that Ubisoft is extending growth timelines. A report from Insider Gaming earlier this 12 months 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 embody a remake of Murderer’s Creed Black Flag, a standalone AC multiplayer sport, and a battle royale with robust Apex Legends vibes. Nonetheless, provided that Ubisoft is within the technique of reorganizing and price chopping, who is aware of if and once we’ll see these get introduced and launched.
