The leaked roadmap reveals Ubisoft’s commitment to revitalizing core franchises while experimenting with fresh concepts across multiple genres.
| Game/Project | Franchise | Key Details |
|---|---|---|
| Project Ovr | Ghost Recon | First-person view, Unreal Engine 5 |
| Project Blackbird | Far Cry | Regular sequel, Snowdrop Engine |
| Project Maverick | Far Cry | Extraction shooter (may be canceled) |

Major Franchise Returns
Ghost Recon Revival: Project Ovr marks a significant shift for the franchise, ditching AnvilNext 2.0 for Unreal Engine 5. More importantly, it returns to first-person perspective – a welcome change for longtime fans who remember the series’ tactical roots before Wildlands and Breakpoint’s third-person approach.
Far Cry Evolution: Two projects are in development. Project Blackbird continues the traditional Far Cry formula, while Project Maverick ventures into extraction shooter territory. Both games transition from the proprietary Dunia engine to Massive’s impressive Snowdrop technology.
Assassin’s Creed Hexe: Spearheaded by industry veteran Clint Hocking, this dark medieval entry focuses on witch hunts. Unlike recent RPG-heavy entries, Hexe strips away role-playing elements for a more focused experience.
Long-Awaited Remakes Finally Arriving
Ubisoft addresses fan demands with three major remakes. The Splinter Cell remake (Project North) continues progressing after years of speculation. Project Rewind tackles the much-delayed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, while Project Obsidian reimagines the beloved Black Flag pirate adventure.
New IP Experiments
Ubisoft ventures beyond established franchises with Project Crest (WWII extraction shooter) and Project Alterra (Animal Crossing-inspired social game). These represent bold departures from typical Ubisoft formulas.
Beyond 2027: The pipeline includes The Crew 3, The Division 3, and additional Assassin’s Creed projects, ensuring Ubisoft’s major franchises remain active.
This ambitious lineup suggests Ubisoft‘s renewed focus on core franchises while embracing new technologies and gameplay concepts.
