A report has made various claims around Ubisoft’s upcoming schedule, including release windows for a new Ghost Recon and two Far Cry games.
It’s been over three years since Ubisoft announced it was working on a remake of the original Splinter Cell, and it seems like it might still be a way off.
As part of a wider report on the company’s current management and future plans, which includes comments from ex-Ubisoft employees, several upcoming projects are mentioned for 2024 and beyond.
These include Assassin’s Creed Red for the second half of 2024, which matches up with a recent leak from a Ubisoft executive. Star Wars Outlaws, meanwhile, is apparently slated for ‘the first half of 2024’, which is earlier than thought. The title only has a 2024 release window at the moment, with a since-edited Disney blog post previously citing late 2024.
According to the report on Insider Gaming, a new mainline Ghost Recon, codenamed Project Over, is planned for 2025 or 2026 and will be set during the fictional Naiman War. The project was previously claimed to be in development in a report from Kotaku back in 2022.
Other titles believed to be coming out within the same 2025 or 2026 window include the Splinter Cell remake, two new Far Cry titles (a mainline entry codenamed Blackbird, and a multiplayer title codenamed Maverick) and the previously announced Assassin’s Creed games codenamed Hexe and Invictus.
Interestingly, this report makes no mention of the Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time remake, which has been delayed several times and rebooted with a new developer, after it was first announced in 2020.
In November last year, Ubisoft said the remake had ‘passed an important internal milestone and development is progressing’, but there’s been no official word since.
The last mainline Ghost Recon title was 2019’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, which was a financial and critical flop. In 2022, Ubisoft cancelled a free-to-play spin-off titled Ghost Recon Frontline, following fan backlash.
That’s likely to ensure that whatever the new Ghost Recon is it’ll be more back to basics, and definitely not a first person shooter.
