Ubisoft is set to discuss what’s on the horizon this weekend, during its Ubisoft Forward stream. And several reports say that a healthy amount of Assassin’s Creed will be there.
Bloomberg reports today, confirming other reports, that Ubisoft is set to announce several new Assassin’s Creed games this coming Saturday.

The second is code-named Neo or Hexe, according to Bloomberg, and is set during the later Holy Roman Empire, specifically revolving around the witch trials. This is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal.
Both of these are reportedly part of Assassin’s Creed Infinity, a platform for the series that will contain multiple settings that has been previously reported on. Neither game is expected to release until 2024 at the earliest.
Ubisoft has already confirmed it plans to showcase Assassin’s Creed Mirage as well. Though it hasn’t revealed further official details about that game, it has been the subject of leaks and reports as well.
