Ubisoft confirmed that it has several Assassin's Creed and Far Cry titles currently in development. The announcement was made by its CEO and cofounder, Yves Guillemot, as part of an interview in which he detailed the company's strategy for the coming years.
According to his explanation, under Vantage Studios' umbrella, multiple Assassin's Creed projects are in the works. There will be single-player experiences and also multiplayer offerings. The goal is to expand a community that, according to company data, surpassed 30 million players in the last year.
Meanwhile, the Far Cry saga already has two new titles officially confirmed.
Restructuring and new creative model
The commitment to these franchises is taking place in a context of deep internal transformation. Ubisoft moved forward with the creation of "creative houses," autonomous units designed to streamline development and optimize resources.

A central player in this new stage is Tencent, which backs Vantage Studios. The intention is to accelerate production and diversify the formats of its most profitable intellectual properties.
However, the restructuring included cost-cutting measures. The company canceled six projects, postponed another seven, and announced the closure of two studios. It also communicated the elimination of up to 200 jobs at its Paris headquarters.
Internal impact and project continuity
The process caused internal tensions. Part of the staff expressed concern about the cuts and the company's strategic direction. Among the measures adopted, the dismissal of 40 developers linked to the Splinter Cell remake was confirmed, although the project remains underway.

Guillemot acknowledged the teams' concerns and stated that the transformation affects the organization, operations, and corporate culture. Nevertheless, he maintained that the changes seek to guarantee financial viability in an increasingly competitive market.
Expansion of the strongest franchises
Beyond the internal context, Ubisoft keeps a clear strategy: to strengthen its most successful sagas. Assassin's Creed will continue to expand with new narrative approaches and online modes.
Far Cry, meanwhile, will not only have new installments, but will also expand its presence in other formats. Among the projects in development is an anthology series featuring participation from figures such as Rob McElhenney and Noah Hawley.
The company is betting on capitalizing on established brands in a highly competitive sector. If the new titles manage to maintain the interest of its player base and attract new audiences, Ubisoft could consolidate its position in the industry despite the complex restructuring process it is going through.
