Bloomberg reports today, confirmingother reports, that Ubisoft is set to announce several newAssassin’s Creedgames this coming Saturday.
According to Bloomberg’s sources, Ubisoft plans to show off a mobile title and two major games. The first is code-named Red and set in Japan, being developed by Ubisoft’s Quebec City office.

The future ofAssassin’s Creed
Ubisoft has already confirmed it plans to showcaseAssassin’s Creed Mirageas well. Though it hasn’t revealed further official details about that game, it has been the subject ofleaksandreportsas well.
Suffice it to say, we’ll likely be seeing a lot ofAssassin’s Creedthis weekend. And while it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, I’m actually pretty interested in all of this.
Assassin’s Creedtaking a platform approach could be interesting. I enjoy the more recent games in the series but never got around to finishingValhalladue to how huge it was. Focused experiences with a bunch of different time periods could be intriguing.
Either way, it won’t be long until we know for sure. Ubisoft is airing its Forward stream this Saturday, at 12:00 p.m. PT / 3:00 p.m. ET. You can watch it onUbisoft’s Twitch channel here.
