Ubisoft Reportedly Has Plans for a ‘Mainline’ RPG Every 2-3 Years After Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Now that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has launched and made a strong impression, players are naturally turning their attention to what the next chapter for Ubisoft will be. Will it continue to ride the wave of its flagship franchise or try to branch out into new territory?

If the recent reports are anything to go by, Ubisoft isn’t slowing down; in fact, it’s just getting started. The publisher has reportedly mapped out a multi-year roadmap that includes the release of a new ‘mainline’ Assassin’s Creed RPG every two to three years.

Ubisoft looks to find a new rhythm for Assassin’s Creed

Following the positive reception of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which marked a return to form for many longtime fans, Ubisoft appears determined to maintain that momentum in the future (reported via

).

Rather than relying on annual releases as it once did, the company is moving to a more measured strategy that focuses on quality. Now, mainline RPGs in the franchise will arrive on a slower, more deliberate timeline, roughly every two to three years.

This will be accompanied by smaller-scale titles, remakes, and multiplayer games filling the gaps to keep players engaged. Shadows, which will reportedly have about two years of post-launch support, is the beginning of this new model.

This cadence not only ensures consistent player engagement but also provides development teams more time to innovate and refine. The goal is clear: build on the success of Shadows and establish a sustainable rhythm that balances quality with consistency.

All things considered, it’s a very smart choice, especially in contrast to the fatigue and uneven quality seen in some past releases. With a structured long-term vision in place, Ubisoft may be setting the stage for the strongest era of Assassin’s Creed yet.

If this roadmap is any indication, Ubisoft is clearly preparing to make Assassin’s Creed not just a recurring series, but a near-constant presence in gaming. With a clear strategy in place, it can certainly achieve that without creating fatigue for the hidden blade.

And while the beloved franchise takes center stage, it’s worth noting that the studio may have more in the pipeline. Recent teases and developments, particularly surrounding the Prince of Persia franchise, suggest that the company is revisiting some of its other beloved IPs.

If the critical success of The Lost Crown is anything to go by, there’s potential for a broader revival, built on both nostalgia and modern gameplay standards. And with a surprise update for Far Cry 4 dropping unexpectedly, it’s clear the studio still has a few tricks up its sleeve.

So, whether you’re a fan of sprawling historical RPGs, compact stealth adventures, memorable antagonists, or forgotten classics making a comeback, it’s a good time to be watching Ubisoft closely. Assassin’s Creed Shadows may be the latest chapter, but it’s far from the final one.
