No matter what your gaming tastes might be, chances are these upcoming Ubisoft titles will satisfy at least some of them. From exploring the Outer Rim as a Star Wars smuggler to dropping anchor in the golden age of piracy, Ubisoft is positioning a myriad of new games to add to your wishlist as we get stuck into 2024.
The next major upcoming Assassin's Creed games will be Codename Red and Codename Hexe, but since we won't be seeing them for quite some time, you may want to turn your attention toward Skull and Bones now that it's finally been given a new release date. It would also appear that The Division 3 is in early development at Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment, although there are precious few details to back it up, and then of course there are two new Prince of Persia games in the works as well.
All this points to an exciting year ahead for the publisher, and we can't wait to see what comes next. Here are all the upcoming Ubisoft games in development (that we know about) right now, as well as when we're expecting them to launch if a release date has been given.
Recent updates
Our living list of upcoming Ubisoft games was updated on December 19, 2023, removing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora following its recent release and adding the new Skull and Bones release date.
Upcoming Ubisoft games 2024
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Platforms: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch
Release date: January 18, 2024
A brand new installment in the series, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown features Saga, the youngest member of a squad of immortals. The game sees you sent on a rescue mission for the kidnapped Prince Hassan in a world where "the past coexists with the future". It's a semi-open world side-scrolling adventure promising all the hack n' slash platformer goodness of the series' classic titles, pitting you against vicious beats and enemies of all sizes on your quest for the missing royal. With puzzles and mysteries aplenty atop all that, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one upcoming Ubisoft game that already looks impressive.
Skull and Bones
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X, PC
Release Date: February 16, 2024
Despite repeated push-backs, Skull and Bones is a swashbuckling pirate RPG that still looks worth its weight in saltwater. This upcoming release from Ubisoft is set during the 1700's "golden age of piracy", with players climbing the ladder from lowly grunt to fearsome captain of the seven seas by raising their notoriety and causing some mayhem. Originally announced during E3 2017 and slated to launch earlier this year, Skull and Bones's sixth release date delay sent it back to the developers for a final deck swab, but we now know to expect it in February 2024.
Tom Clancy's The Division Resurgence
Platforms: Apple, Android
Release date: Early 2024
Mobile-only The Division Resurgence has all the open world gunslinging of the original title, only this time it's all in the palm of your hand. It's going the free-to-play avenue, much like The Division Heartland, and although there's no global rollout confirmed it's already being released in Southeast Asia under a different publisher. Following The Division Resurgence playtest signups , we got an update during the Ubisoft Forward 2023, which confirmed we can expect to see Resurgence this fall.
Upcoming Ubisoft games: TBC 2024
Star Wars Outlaws
Platform(s): PC, PS5, Xbox Series X
Release date: TBC 2024
Star Wars Outlaws is a brand new adventure is coming from Massive Entertainment, the studio behind The Division and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. It's being billed as the ever first open world Star Wars game, set to take us into the galactic underworld as Kay Vess – a scoundrel who is trying to pull off the biggest heist the Outer Rim has ever seen. Better yet, it's set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi!
Assassin's Creed Codename Red
Platforms: TBC
Release date: TBC 2024
Ubisoft Quebec is at the helm of Assassin's Creed Codename Red, an action-RPG set to bring the long-running game series to Feudal Japan. In terms of visuals, all we have to go on are the tantalizing crumbs left by last year's announcement trailer, although the setting and confirmation of a samurai protagonist have already gotten us hyped for the future release. Details are light on the ground right now, but Red is set to be the next flagship Assassin's Creed game, in development with the team behind AC's Odyssey and Syndicate.
Assassin's Creed Infinity
Platforms: TBC
Release date: TBC (expected 2024)
Assassin's Creed Infinity is less of a game in itself and more like a hub. The intent is to make it a "single entry point" into the Assassin's Creed franchise for all fans, allowing for a level of overlap between the games to give the whole experience a meta twist. Current plans are to add new releases to the project as it develops, including Assassin's Creed Red and Hexe. Ubisoft is also exploring the possibility of Infinity becoming the home for future multiplayer Assassin's Creed games.
TBC
Assassin's Creed Codename Jade
Platforms: iOS, Android
Release Date: TBC
A beloved franchise is getting the mobile treatment in Assassin's Creed Codename Jade. It's set in ancient China, and save for the initial announcement trailer, details on this one are still rather hazy. We do know that Codename Jade will be a mobile-exclusive, open world game. With free reign of iconic landmark locations, Assassin's Creed executive director Marc-Alexis Côté says we will be able to "parkour atop the Great Wall of China, sneak through bustling cities, engage in intense combat, and discover the secrets, the vastness, of ancient China."
Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe
Platforms: TBC
Release date: TBC
Something wicked this way comes? Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe is perhaps the most mysterious upcoming Ubisoft game of them all, purely for the fact that its short teaser trailer gives up next to nothing. All we can see from it is a handmade talisman, resembling the Assassin's insignia, dangling against the backdrop of a dark forest. Ubisoft has only gone so far as to describe Hexe as "a very different Assassin's Creed game", with speculating fans pointing to hints that Hexe might be set during the German witch trials. This seems entirely plausible, especially given the Pagan connotations of the talisman, so we can't help but get excited for a darker and somewhat spookier AC experience.
Beyond Good and Evil 2
Platforms: TBC
Release date: TBC
First hinted at in 2008, Beyond Good and Evil 2 has become synonymous with developmental hell. It's been six years since Ubisoft officially announced it during E3 2017, and with just a few promo shots and press releases to on on since then, it's anyone's guess whether we can expect news anytime soon. What we do know is that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is intended as a prequel to the 2003 original, this time featuring more open world RPG gameplay, branching narratives, and the choice between playing solo or multiplayer modes.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake
Platforms: TBC
Release date: TBC
Announced two years ago, the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake will not be showing face at Ubisoft Forward 2023. The "heavily under wraps" remake of a classic entry in the action-adventure series is now being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, much like the original – and despite the sparse information at hand, a recent update from Ubisoft confirms that the project is "very much alive". It's a remake that's getting a whole new remake, but this is one upcoming Ubisoft game we won't be letting out of our sight anytime soon.
Project U
Platforms: TBC
Release date: TBC
For a game that's already had one closed beta test, there's precious little online about Project U. According to the Ubisoft website, Project U is a "new concept of session-based co-op shooter, where many players unite to prevail against an overwhelming threat." This isn't the first time the publisher has hazarded a go at a co-op looter-shooter, though, with the cancellation of Project Q earlier this year sending its crew to work on Assassin's Creed Mirage instead.
Splinter Cell remake
Platforms: TBC
Release date: TBC
One upcoming Ubisoft game we would love to get a closer look at is the Splinter Cell remake, which went into development in 2021. With Ubisoft Toronto at the helm, the studio is keen to "make sure the spirit of the early games remains intact" – that means we'll hopefully see the stealth-heavy action gameplay we remember from the 2002 original. It's apparently possible to get through the whole game without a single kill, too, but we'll believe it when we see some gameplay.
Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC
Release date: TBC
A free-to-play offering from Ubisoft, Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland is an upcoming third-person shooter set in a fictional midwestern town. Riffing off The Division and taking place within the same universe, you'll be battling through the remote wasteland in the aftermath of the same devastating pandemic underpinning the first two games. It's neither a sequel nor a DLC, and with both PvE and PvP modes in the mix rather than the open world of the original, The Division Heartlands could be a strong contender even alongside some of the best free games out there.
XDefiant
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC
Release date: TBC
XDefiant is Ubisoft's upcoming free-to-play arena shooter. PC is the only platform confirmed by the developer, but if our hands-on preview is anything to go by, XDefiant is a surprisingly solid shooter that could rival some of the best battle royale games out there. There's no release date for it just yet, and with the beta having ended in April, we'll just have to keep this one in our periphery until we get more news.
Tom Clancy's The Division 3
Platforms: TBC
Release date: TBC
This one is probably in its most embryonic stages of pre-production planning, but Ubisoft has casually let slip that Tom Clancy's The Division 3 is in the works. We don't know much else about it just yet, save that it'll be developed by Massive Entertainment and spearheaded by Julian Gerighty as executive producer of the whole Tom Clancy brand (via Twitter). Since he is currently directing Star Wars Outlaws, though, we don't expect to see the third Division game (or hear much more about it) until Outlaws launches at an as-yet unknown date in 2024.
Casting a wider net, check out these upcoming new games for 2024 and beyond, from Helldivers 2 to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
