IT seems the five games announced at the Assassin’s Creed showcase on Saturday weren’t enough for Ubisoft, as two more games are in the works.
That’s seven different Assassin’s Creed projects in development, for those who like to fight against the Templars.
A long cinematic trailer was shown for Mirage.
It can be difficult to keep on top of the news with all the games being announced.
So here’s our rundown of all seven Assassin’s Creed games currently in development.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage
We were given a lot more detail about previously announced Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which is set in Baghdad during the 9th century.
A much younger version of Basim will return as the protagonist, guided by Roshan, a master Assassin voiced by Shohreh Aghdashloo.
No gameplay was shown but we were told it would be a more linear, story-focused game than titles like Valhalla and Origins.
A new mechanic was shown off, called “assassin’s focus” where Basim slows down time to take out a number of enemies in one hit.
Assassin’s Creed Red
Assassin’s Creed Red will be set in Japan.
Players have been eager to see an Assassin’s Creed game set in the land of the rising sun, and that’s just what Assassin’s Creed Red is.
Set in feudal Japan, a new, ninja-style assassin will take on the Templars.
Not much of the game was shown and it appears to be in early development.
Assassin’s Creed Jade
Jade will be set in China.
A new mobile Assassin’s Creed is in the works under the codename Assassin’s Creed Jade.
Not much was revealed, but we do know that it is an open-world Assassin’s Creed game set in China.
Assassin’s Creed Hexe
Little was revealed about upcoming Hexe.
A “very different” Assassin’s Creed game, known as Assassin’s Creed Hexe, was given a teaser trailer.
Hexe is German for “witch”, leading many to think it will take place in central Europe during the witch trials of the late 16th early 17th century.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity
Infinity is more of a social media hub than a game.
While rumours of Assassin’s Creed Infinity have been around for a while, Ubisoft finally cleared up what this project really is.
It’s a social media hub which will connect Assassin’s Creed games together, providing a gateway to shared multiplayer and online experiences.
Executive producer of the series, Marc-Alexis Côté revealed: “Infinity is not a game, per se. It is going to be the single entry point for our fans into the Assassin’s Creed franchise into the future.
“[It’s] going to be a hub that will unite all our different experiences and our players together in meaningful ways.”
Assassin’s Creed Netflix
Little is known about the upcoming Netflix exclusive
A crossover between Assassin’s Creed and Netflix has been announced – a mobile Assassin’s Creed game exclusive to the subscription service.
The game will be available to download for members of Netflix and will not feature ads or microtransactions.
This will be a separate mobile release from Assassin’s Creed Jade.
Assassin’s Creed Invictus
Invictus hopes to bring old assassin’s together.
Assassin’s Creed Invictus is a standalone game that will be available via Assassin’s Creed Infinity.
Ubisoft is considering making it free-to-play, though plans for the title aren’t concrete yet.
In an interview with IGN, Côté said: “I think the concept art that we had for Invictus kind of hints to this possibility of crossing over characters from different periods.
“So I think you can see the intention there of Invictus allowing us again to bridge our different games together.”
