Specifically, Ubisoft says the game will return to the series’ action-adventure roots, meaning RPG mechanics from more recent games will not be present. Mirage is expected to be released sometime in 2023. Also worth noting: in an inspired casting, Shohreh Aghdashloo will voice the role of Basim’s assassin mentor. But this isn’t just about the series, as Ubisoft also made a number of other big announcements regarding the future of the franchise. Assassin’s Creed plans for 2022, 2023 and beyondImage: Ubisoft Let’s start with mobile. Ubisoft is developing the first open-world version of Assassin’s Creed for smartphones, currently called “Jade,” which is set in ancient China and will allow players to customize their character. You can also park at the Great Wall, which looks like fun. “Codename Jade” is listed as available soon. Elsewhere, Ubisoft also says it’s working on an unnamed mobile title for its Netflix gaming service, though there are no details on that at the moment. (Netflix and Ubisoft are currently working together on a live-action series based on Assassin’s Creed.) Assassin’s Creed: Codename RedImage: Ubisoft As for the future of the main series, Ubisoft shared some details about the games that will follow after Mirage. One of those games, codenamed “Red,” is in development at Ubisoft’s Quebec City studio and will be set in feudal-era Japan, while the Montreal team is working on another codenamed “Hexe.” There aren’t many details on it yet, but it seems like it’s about witches in some form. While Mirage largely eschews the RPG mechanics of games like Odyssey, it looks like both Red and Hexe will retain them. Elsewhere, the publisher provided some more details on the Assassin’s Creed “Infinity” project, which appears to be an online hub that will connect the main games together with standalone multiplayer projects. Think of it like the Animus from the games, only you use it to start video games.
