6 new Assassin’s Creed games announced: Mirage, Japan, horror game Hexe, and more

Rumours of Ubisoft being about to announce five new Assassin’s Creed games have been proven false… it’s actually six.

There may not have been a preview showcase during June, but Ubisoft did have an E3-esque event on Saturday evening, that featured multiple games but focused squarely on Assassin’s Creed.

There was surprisingly (or not) little real detail for anything other than the already thoroughly leaked Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a smaller title set in 9th century Baghdad and meant as a ‘tribute’ to the original game from 2007.

That much was already known but it was confirmed that Ubisoft Bordeaux, the team behind DLC Wrath Of The Druids, will be making the game, which will not feature the role-playing elements of the more recent titles – even though it was originally planned as an expansion for Valhalla.

You’ll play as Basim Ibn Ishaq from Valhalla (so no chance to change your gender), who will join the Hidden Ones – the predecessors to the Assassin Brotherhood from the rest of the series.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will launch on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Luna sometime in 2023.

Just as predicted, Ubisoft ended up announcing multiple other new Assassin’s Creed games, with six in total – seven if you count live service Assassin’s Creed Infinity, which will serve as the entry hub for the series going forward.

The first Assassin’s Creed Infinity release, which will count as the next major entry in the series, after Valhalla, doesn’t have a name yet but (as already leaked) is codenamed RED.

It’s being made by Assassin’s Creed Odyssey developer Ubisoft Quebec and is set in Feudal Japan. That will immediately create comparisons with Ghost Of Tsushima but while Ubisoft hasn’t clarified when exactly
