Ubisoft Has Delayed Multiple Unannounced Games

Ubisoft has delayed multiple unannounced games in order to give them more time in development. The gaming giant recently released Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which is currently ranking as one of the best-selling games of 2025. However, its slate of upcoming releases remains a bit foggy.

Speaking in a recent earnings release, Ubisoft confirmed that it was delaying multiple unannounced games, strongly suggesting that they’re from the publisher’s biggest IPs like Assassin’s Creed, Ghost Recon, Far Cry and Rainbow Six. This follows a review from the company’s pipeline that took place between October and December last year, making the decision to delay several projects in order to give its development teams more time to work on the titles.

Ubisoft explained:

“After a thorough review of its pipeline that took place from October to December, the Group decided to provide additional development time to some of its biggest productions in order to create the best conditions for success. This decision has already been beneficial to the quality of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. As a consequence, FY2026-27 and FY2027-28 will see significant growth vs. FY2025-26 on the back of strong content coming from the Group’s largest brands.”

As for Ubisoft’s two major franchises, Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, thanks to leaks and rumours, we know that Far Cry 7 is in development. Some details about the game have leaked over the last few years but it’s nothing concrete. Assassin’s Creed, on the other hand, already has a few announced projects in the works, namely Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe which is the next mainline entry after Shadows. There are also rumours of Ubisoft developing a remake of Black Flag, though it’s not known if this was impacted by the delays.

On a more positive note, Ubisoft confirmed that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake will launch before the end of its current fiscal year (or March 2026).
