Ubisoft Developing Two New Assassin's Creed AAA Titles, And A Mobile Game

During its showcase Ubisoft revealed that it is developing two new AAA titles in the Assasin's Creed series, Codename RED set in feudal Japan and the mysterious Codename HEXE, which is promising to be "different."

Assassin's Creed Codename RED is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec (makers of Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Assassin's Creed Syndicate) with Creative Director Jonathan Dumont. The game will be the next evolution of Assassin's Creed's open-world RPG design and take players to the long-awaited setting of feudal Japan.

Following Assassin's Creed Codename RED will be Assassin's Creed Codename HEXE, which is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, with Clint Hocking serving as creative director.

RED and HEXE will both be a part of Assassin's Creed Codename INFINITY, a hub that will connect players through different types of Assassin's Creed experiences, old and new. INFINITY will also bring multiplayer back to Assassin's Creed with a standalone experience.

For those who want to take Assassin's Creed with them everywhere they go, there's Assassin's Creed Codename Jade, a AAA RPG action-adventure game for mobile devices set in ancient China. The free-to-play game will allow players to create their own character and discover a unique standalone storyline.

Finally, there was an update on the live-action Assassin's Creed series being developed by Ubisoft Film & Television and Netflix. The genre-bending adaptation will be helmed by showrunner, Jeb Stuart (Vikings: Valhalla, Die Hard). Ubisoft and Netflix are also working together to develop an Assassin's Creed game exclusively for the platform.
