Ubisoft has confirmed it is actively working on new entries in the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon franchises, according to details buried in the company's 2025-26 earnings report and reported by Video Games Chronicle. Fans of all three series can finally breathe again - your franchises are not dead, just on a very long respawn timer.

The report outlines a fairly stacked pipeline for the publisher, which has had a rougher-than-usual few years on the scoreboard. Assassin's Creed Shadows only just dropped, and Ubisoft is already lining up the next quest markers in its biggest IPs - suggesting the studio is back in full grind mode.

But here is where things get a little sus. Tucked into that same earnings report, according to Video Games Chronicle, is mention of a 'first playable' gen-AI experience. That is right - Ubisoft is cooking up something AI-powered and calling it playable, which is either the most exciting or most terrifying sentence in gaming depending on which Discord server you call home.

No concrete details have been shared about what this gen-AI project actually is, what it plays like, or which franchise - if any - it belongs to. Is it a full game? A tech demo? An NPC that will finally remember your name? Your guess is as good as ours.

The loot breakdown

  • New Assassin's Creed game in development (no title or setting confirmed)
  • New Far Cry entry confirmed - the series lives to open-world again
  • Ghost Recon is getting another outing, for the tactical shooter faithful
  • A mysterious gen-AI 'first playable experience' is also in the works

Ubisoft has been under heavy pressure from investors and the market after several high-profile stumbles, so announcing a packed pipeline makes sense as a confidence play. Whether these titles will actually land with the quality to match the hype is, of course, the final boss question the earnings report conveniently does not answer.

The gen-AI wildcard is the one to watch here. Gaming has already seen some rocky early attempts at integrating generative AI into interactive experiences, and Ubisoft calling something 'first playable' suggests it is more than just a boardroom PowerPoint - though we will hold the victory lap until we see actual gameplay.

Stay locked to Video Games Chronicle for updates as Ubisoft presumably reveals more details closer to whenever these projects are ready to leave stealth mode.
