Why more developers are working on Assassin's Creed than ever

This expansion plan will only serve to strengthen Ubisoft's commitment to the series, which is its biggest source of revenue at the moment. With its rich history, Assassin's Creed has the potential to continue to remain popular well into the next decade.

By nurturing the growth of its flagship series, Ubisoft is positioning itself as a leading game developer in the industry.

Of course, while Assassin's Creed will make up a huge piece of the Ubisoft pie, it isn't everything. Perhaps the second-best thing to come out of this quarter's earnings report is that Ubisoft didn't say that it will be delaying games outside of the current fiscal year.

Ubisoft used this opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to releasing a handful of new games on or before March 2024, which includes Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Tom Clancy's The Division Resurgence, Rainbow Six Mobile, The Crew Motorfest, XDefiant, the perpetually-delayed Skull and Bones, as well as Assassin's Creed Mirage and an unnamed "large game.

Fans can expect to see these games and more at the Ubisoft Forward showcase on June 12.

In other news, Ubisoft's non-gaming Assassin's Creed projects aren't looking so good. The long-gestating adaptation for Netflix recently lost its showrunner with no signs of the ball rolling anytime soon. Given the ongoing WGA strike, don't expect to hear anything about the Netflix adaptation anytime soon.
