This roadmap was revealed at an event in Paris where Ubisoft confirmed that its next Assassin’s Creed main game after Mirage would be “Red”, made by the developer and creative director of Odyssey in the style of Valhalla, but set in feudal Japan and which should be for after 2024 and “Hexe”, made by Ubisoft Montreal and Clint Hocking (Far Cry 2 and Watch Dogs: Legion) seems to have a horror bent and will provide “a different experience” from other releases.
Assassin’s Creed Invictus, an independent multiplayer game crafted by For Honor and Rainbow Six Siege teams, Jade, described as a free-to-play, AAA action-adventure RPG for mobile platforms set in Ancient China and a mobile game in mysterious collaboration with Netflix, possibly linked to the upcoming live-action series, were the last projects announced for the future of the franchise.
