Ubisoft, desperately in want of a serious win, lastly obtained one with Murderer’s Creed Shadows – however solely after it delayed the open-world recreation on two events to verify it did not miss the mark on high quality. Clearly studying the fitting 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 possible means an extended wait to see the following Murderer’s Creed, the Splinter Cell remake, and the rumored new entry within the Ghost Recon sequence.
As you may possible have seen a number of weeks again, as a part of its plan to bounce again from a sequence of underwhelming and poorly performing video games, Ubisoft is making a model new subsidiary in partnership with Tencent. The Chinese language big is injecting over a billion {dollars} into this new enterprise, which shall be answerable 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 seeking to minimize prices and rethink its processes. This general 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 few of the upcoming video games it was set to launch this monetary 12 months, which runs till April 2026.
“After a radical evaluate of its pipeline that occurred from October to December, the Group determined to offer further growth time to a few of its largest productions in an effort to create one of the best circumstances for fulfillment,” Ubisoft’s newest earnings report reads. “This determination has already been helpful 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 does not particularly identify which IP and tasks are getting pushed again internally, however I can see this affecting the Splinter Cell remake (reportedly as a consequence of launch in 2026) and perhaps even Murderer’s Creed Hexe (presently with out a launch window however revealed all the best way again in 2022).
Do not anticipate there to be an entire void of latest PC video games from Ubisoft over the following 12 months or so, although. Two formally revealed tasks that do appear to be protected from the delays although are technique recreation 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 “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 12 months claimed {that a} new Ghost Recon recreation 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 concentrating 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 recreation, and a battle royale with sturdy Apex Legends vibes. Nevertheless, on condition that Ubisoft is within the strategy of reorganizing and value chopping, who is aware of if and after we’ll see these get introduced and launched.
