- Ubisoft says 'Nice try' after Assassin's Creed multiplayer game, Invictus, leaks with a 'heavily altered' image - 6 May 2026
Ubisoft suck at keeping a secret. It's long had a problem with leaks, and the Assassin's Creed series has probably suffered more from that than its other series. Even Ubisoft has joked about Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced being " gaming's worst kept secret " following leak after leak. Much like the Age of Piracy in Black Flag, Ubisoft's age of leaks isn't over either... Read more.

- Former Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director says Ubisoft 'became very allergic' to new games, which contributed to a 'talent drain' - 25 February 2026
It's been a rough few years for Ubisoft. Skull and Bones became a $200 million folly, one of several failed attempts to capitalise on live-service popularity; staff are revolting due to layoffs, studio closures and a mandatory return-to-office command; and after years of trying to curtail the influence of Tencent, the Chinese publisher now controls more than 26% of newly-formed Assassin's Creed subsidiary Vantage Studios ...

- Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag creative director returns to help 'steer the brand’s ambitious new chapter' - 23 February 2026

- Get up to 90% off historical murder in the Assassin's Creed franchise sale - 14 December 2025
If you've somehow managed to avoid Assassin's Creed up to this point and are looking to dive in, (or, as is more likely the case, you're looking to fill a gap in the vast library of historical murder simulators Ubisoft has created since 2007) now might be the time to do so. Ubisoft is running a franchise sale on its stabby depictions of human civilisation, offering impressive discounts on some of the best games in the series, as well as its newest entry at half-price...

- When Assassin's Creed's infamously dull main character was finally killed off, voice actor Nolan North didn't find out until a fan told him about it on Twitter - 18 November 2025
Desmond Miles? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Assassin's Creed 's original protagonist stood at the centre of the series' story from the 2007 original to Assassin's Creed 3 . I remember him being pretty roundly mocked at the time, and wasn't much of a fan myself. This was partly because players only controlled him during the series' divisive Animus sections, where the games would yank you of their gripping historical settings to wander around sterile laboratories while NPCs yammered exposition at you...

new Game File report claims that Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game that would have been set in the US Civil War and the Reconstruction period that followed.

Remember Ubisoft's live-action Assassin's Creed TV series that it's been cooking up over at Netflix? No? Well, don't beat yourself up about it; I'm pretty sure Ubi's forgotten once or twice too. The studio was first chatting about its grand plans to make an AC TV show in 2017, in the afterglow of the (not very good) Michael Fassbender-led AC film... Read more.
- I wish Ubisoft had ever made the game it promised with Assassin's Creed 1, but instead the series just spiralled into a weird identity crisis - 12 May 2025
Let's play 'guess the game'. You're a meticulous killer in a historical setting. Your targets are high-ranking aristocrats, priests, merchants—men and women of status who go everywhere flanked by a platoon of guards, who sleep behind barred doors, and whose entire lives are lived publicly. These people cannot enter a room without an eruption of folderol: they're here! They're here!.. Read more.
- The 5 most historically inaccurate moments in the Assassin's Creed series - 10 April 2025
In the run up to the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows, a lot of people apparently became very concerned about the series' historical accuracy. It was a bit perplexing, because as anyone who's actually played an Assassin's Creed knows, their historical accuracy usually hovers around the same level as an episode of Doctor Who... Read more.
- Get ready for some Assassin's Creed remakes, says Ubisoft CEO, as everyone and their mum starts chanting about Black Flag - 28 June 2024
Good news, long-time fans of games about giving up at least one of your fingers so you can run across rooftops and jump on unsuspecting guards, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot says some Assassin's Creed remakes are coming. Yes, there's a chance one of them might be the game with all the piratey goodness in it. While the major focus AC-wise right now is on Assassin's Creed Shadows , which is set to take us all to feudal Japan in November to play as a pair of cool protagonists with different playstyles , we all love replaying things we've played before and revelling in how much we like them all over again. Which, it seems, Ubisoft is keenly aware of.

- Ubisoft confirms older Assassin's Creed games will get remakes - 27 June 2024
I used to try and keep up with the Assassin's Creed series - I really did. Then somewhere along the way, I lost track of what's new and what's a spinoff and where the mainline games begin and end. I suspect many feel the same way, though I have little evidence for it. It means that the early Assassin's Creed games hold a special place in my heart, and it just went aflutter with the news that some older games in the series are getting remakes.
