Ubisoft’s 2026–27 Lineup Reportedly Includes New Ghost Recon, Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed, and More
Ubisoft’s release pipeline for 2026–27 is beginning to take shape, and if the latest report from reliable insider Tom Henderson via Insider Gaming is accurate, the publisher is preparing one of its most ambitious multi-year slates in years. The lineup features major sequels in flagship franchises alongside long-awaited remakes and new IPs.
Ghost Recon Project Ovr
The next entry in the Ghost Recon franchise, reportedly codenamed Project Ovr, may mark a major shift for the series.
Development may abandon Ubisoft’s AnvilNext 2.0 engine in favor of Unreal Engine 5.
The game is expected to return to a first-person perspective, a nod to the franchise’s earlier installments. Recent titles such as Wildlands (2017) and Breakpoint (2019) were third-person focused, with only limited first-person options.
If true, this would be a bold attempt to bring Ghost Recon back to its tactical roots.
Far Cry Projects Blackbird and Maverick
Ubisoft is also investing heavily in the Far Cry franchise with two separate projects:
Project Blackbird: A traditional sequel, expected to continue the core open-world formula.
Project Maverick: An extraction shooter, though Henderson notes it faces uncertainty and may be canceled before release.
Both games could shift away from the proprietary Dunia Engine, which has powered the series since Far Cry 2, to Massive’s Snowdrop Engine (used in The Division and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora).
Assassin’s Creed Project Hexe and More
The Assassin’s Creed franchise will remain Ubisoft’s centerpiece.
Project Hexe: Spearheaded by Clint Hocking (Splinter Cell, Far Cry 2, Watch Dogs: Legion), this entry will drop RPG mechanics in favor of a more traditional design. Its dark medieval setting is rumored to explore themes of witch hunts.
Assassin’s Creed Invictus: A multiplayer spin-off reportedly inspired by Fall Guys, adding a lighter, competitive experience to the brand.
Project Obsidian: A remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, one of the most beloved titles in the franchise.
Other Major Projects
Beyond Good & Evil 2: Despite years of turbulence, Henderson insists it is still in development.
Splinter Cell Remake (Project North): The long-anticipated return of Sam Fisher.
Prince of Persia: Project Rewind: Another remake effort, distinct from the recent Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
Project Crest: A new IP, an extraction shooter set in World War II.
Project Alterra: A life-simulation game inspired by Nintendo’s Animal Crossing, representing a major genre shift for Ubisoft.
Beyond 2027
Looking further ahead, Ubisoft reportedly has The Crew 3, The Division 3, and additional Assassin’s Creed entries in the pipeline, reinforcing its focus on long-running franchises while branching into new genres.
Ubisoft’s reported roadmap is a mix of fan-favorite revivals, franchise reinventions, and bold new experiments. With first-person Ghost Recon, multiple Far Cry directions, a darker Assassin’s Creed, and long-demanded remakes, the publisher appears intent on addressing both nostalgic fans and modern trends.
Which part of Ubisoft’s 2026–27 lineup excites you most: the return of Ghost Recon to first-person, the Far Cry experiments, or the long-awaited remakes like Splinter Cell and Black Flag?
