Ubisoft aims to launch a new installment of the Assassin's Creed series every six months.

Ubisoft has ambitious objectives for the Assassin's Creed franchise, aiming to launch a new installment every six months moving forward. Indeed, this is an accurate statement. The rationale behind this strategy raises several questions: What motivates Ubisoft to introduce such a high volume of titles in a condensed timeframe? What implications does this have for the overall quality of the games?

 

As reported by Gaming Insider Tom Henderson, Ubisoft intends to unveil ten new Assassin's Creed games by the year 2030, as discussed on the XboxTwo Podcast.

The concept of launching a new Assassin's Creed game every six months stems from the intention to continuously deliver fresh content to the series' enthusiasts. This approach is not unprecedented; for instance, Activision releases a new installment of Call of Duty annually, while EA Sports updates numerous sports titles each year. Through this strategy, Ubisoft aims to enhance its connection with the community and guarantee that fans can frequently engage in new adventures within the Assassin's Creed universe.

A major concern regarding this announcement is the quality of the upcoming titles. Can Ubisoft guarantee that each game will meet the elevated expectations? The resolution to this inquiry is yet to be determined, as the rapid pace of releases could place significant stress on developers. Ubisoft has indicated that it is developing a new production model designed to enable multiple teams to collaborate on various projects simultaneously. This approach may help sustain game quality while enhancing the speed of releases.

Ubisoft has the opportunity to dominate the market with its semi-annual releases, especially considering the recent delay of Assassin's Creed Shadows. The development team emphasized the need for this postponement to ensure a quality experience for fans. Additionally, it raises the question of whether all their titles can be classified as AAA games. Many developers have recognized that smaller games can also attract a dedicated audience, as not every gamer has the time to invest 200 hours into a single title.
