Ubisoft set to announce several new Assassin’s Creed games

Ubisoft Entertainment SA will announce several new games in the Assassin’s Creed franchise Saturday, including one set in feudal Japan, according to media reports and people familiar with the company’s plans.

Assassin’s Creed, the French gaming publisher’s flagship franchise, has sold more than 155 million copies since its debut in 2007. Each title in the series has a different setting and historical period, such as ancient Egypt or America during the Revolutionary War.

Ubisoft has teased the idea that new titles will be announced at its Ubisoft Forward event on Saturday, saying it will reveal “a peek at the future of the franchise.”
