Ubisoft CEO confirms new Assassin's Creed and Far Cry games are in development

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said in a new interview that new Assassin's Creed and Far Cry games are in development. "We have a solid pipeline underway across Vantage Studios," Guillemot said. "Under the Assassin's Creed brand, several titles are in development, spanning both single-player and multiplayer experiences, with the ambition to further grow a community that exceeded 30 million players last year." Rumors about the two Far Cry projects—the inevitable Far Cry 7, and a live service multiplayer venture—have been floating around for a few years.

Still, it's nice to have it all officially confirmed and formalized in writing, and Assassin's Creed fans will no doubt be pleased to hear that an abundance of new games are on the way, although spinoffs are hardly a new thing for the AC series. Derennes brings an impressive CV to the co-CEO role: he's been with Ubisoft for more than 35 years, launched and headed up its Ubisoft Montreal studio, and has credits on dozens of games.
