Ubisoft has put its biggest names back at the center of its recovery plan. After a rough financial year and a long round of restructuring, the company has told investors that new Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon games are planned before the end of March 2029.
That is not a surprise list, but it is an important one. Ubisoft is cutting projects, reducing costs, and rebuilding around the series that still have the best chance of bringing players back. The company is not talking about experiments first. It is putting its biggest open-world and shooter brands back at the front of the schedule.
The company’s latest release plan covers the 2027-28 and 2028-29 fiscal years. That gives Ubisoft a wide window, but it also confirms where the publisher’s biggest bets are going.
Assassin’s Creed remains the safest part of the lineup. The series is still one of Ubisoft’s strongest brands, and another entry was always expected after Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The company also has Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced listed for July 2026, giving the franchise another release before the next wave of bigger projects.
Far Cry and Ghost Recon are the more interesting names here. Both have been quiet long enough that new entries can feel like a reset, especially if Ubisoft uses them to answer complaints about bloated maps, repetitive mission design, and live-service pressure.
Ubisoft is not announcing these games from a position of comfort. Its full-year earnings showed net bookings down 17.4% to €1.53 billion, along with a record operating loss. Reuters also reported that the company is preparing for another tough year before aiming for a return to profitability and positive free cash flow in 2027-28.
The company has already made painful changes. It reduced its headcount by around 1,200 people, cut fixed costs by €118 million, and discontinued seven projects after reviewing its slate. Six more projects were delayed.
That gives the new release plan more weight. Ubisoft is not simply filling a calendar. It is trying to prove that a smaller, more focused version of the company can still deliver games people want.
Ubisoft’s new structure is also starting to matter. The company has created separate “creative houses,” with Vantage Studios backed by Tencent and tied to some of Ubisoft’s largest franchises. The goal is to give those brands clearer leadership and more focused development.
That matters for players because Ubisoft’s biggest problem has not only been release timing. It has also been trust. Fans want games that feel sharper, less padded, and more confident about what they are trying to be.
A new Far Cry or Ghost Recon cannot just arrive because the name still has value. Those series need a reason to feel fresh again.
Ubisoft has not announced settings, platforms, subtitles, release dates, or gameplay details for the next Far Cry or Ghost Recon. The company has also not said which new Assassin’s Creed project is landing in that 2027-29 window.
For now, the confirmed news is the direction: Ubisoft’s comeback plan is built around familiar series, fewer projects, and a stronger push for quality after years of delays, cancellations, and uneven releases.
