Ubisoft announced new entries in its Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon franchises are scheduled for release by March 31, 2029, the end of its 2028-2029 financial year [1, 2, 3, 4].

The upcoming Assassin's Creed game is likely Codename Hexe, set in 16th century Europe and focused on witch trials, first announced in 2022. It is expected to launch sometime in 2027 [1, 2, 4].

Ubisoft is developing two Far Cry titles — one mainline game featuring a non-linear story, and another multiplayer-focused experience [1]. No mainline Ghost Recon game has been released since Breakpoint in 2019, but CEO Yves Guillemot has hinted that a new game is in the works [1, 2, 4].

Ubisoft plans to release these games during its 2027-2028 and 2028-2029 fiscal years, marking a return to a stronger content cycle after a period of restructuring and project cancellations [1, 2, 3, 4]. The company canceled 7 projects and delayed 6 others over the past year as part of a strategic transformation [2, 3].

The 2026-2027 fiscal year is expected to be a "low point" for Ubisoft's free cash flow, reflecting a "softer release slate" and restructuring costs, according to Guillemot [1, 3]. He described the current efforts as "a disappointing short-term financial performance" and "one of the most ambitious transformations in the company's history" [3, 4].

Ubisoft will release the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake on July 9, 2026, which is anticipated to deliver strong community engagement [2, 4].

The company has reduced its workforce by about 1,200 employees and closed multiple studios globally in recent years. Ubisoft’s total headcount stood at 16,590 at the end of March 2026 [2, 3, 4]. Tencent has provided €1.16 billion (~$1.35 billion) in cash to support Ubisoft’s turnaround [2, 4].

Guillemot also highlighted Ubisoft’s growing investment in AI technology, including "Teammates," a playable generative AI experience aimed at enriching gameplay and advancing game development pipelines [4].

Ubisoft reported a 54% year-over-year decline in net bookings in the final quarter of fiscal 2025-2026 and a 17% drop for the full year. The company began its strategic transformation during this period [3].

The next major release will be Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced on July 9, 2026, followed by the expected launch of Assassin's Creed Hexe in 2027. New Far Cry and Ghost Recon titles are anticipated before March 2029 [2, 4].
