Rumor: Assassin’s Creed Invictus Could Launch in 2025

Following the recent release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, a new rumor suggests that another Assassin’s Creed title could still arrive in 2025. The long-rumored Assassin’s Creed Invictus, one of the franchise’s most mysterious projects, may be the next entry to hit store shelves—potentially shaking up the series in a big way.

Assassin’s Creed Invictus Rumored for 2025

Assassin’s Creed Shadows launched in March to strong sales and a solid 82 OpenCritic score, despite some early controversy. Ubisoft, however, is facing financial struggles, worsened by the disappointing performance of Star Wars Outlaws and the impending shutdown of XDefiant in June. While many fans expected a long wait for the next Assassin’s Creed, a new rumor suggests it could be coming much sooner.

According to Tom Henderson (Insider Gaming), Assassin’s Creed Invictus is still slated for a 2025 release. Unlike past entries, Invictus is rumored to be an arcade-style multiplayer experience, reportedly drawing inspiration from Fall Guys, with game modes like Team Deathmatch and Free-for-All. It may also feature a cartoonish aesthetic, a major departure from the franchise’s usual tone. Players would take control of past Assassin’s Creed protagonists, though Ubisoft has yet to confirm any details.

If the 2025 release window holds true, an official announcement may arrive after Shadows has more time in the spotlight.

Assassin’s Creed Invictus: A Risky but Unique Entry?

While some longtime fans are skeptical about Invictus' shift toward multiplayer and arcade elements, others see it as a fresh opportunity. Many have long requested a standalone multiplayer experience, and if done right, Invictus could reach a wider audience than previous multiplayer components found in single-player entries.

Ubisoft’s New Subsidiary & Assassin’s Creed’s Future

In March, Ubisoft announced a new Tencent-backed subsidiary that will now oversee key franchises, including Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six, and Far Cry. This restructuring brings together developers from Ubisoft’s global offices, and many are eager to see how this new leadership will shape the future of the franchise.

For now, fans should keep an eye on Ubisoft’s upcoming showcases—if Assassin’s Creed Invictus is truly on the horizon, an official reveal may not be far away.
