Ubisoft’s upcoming lineup has received a fresh round of details following comments from insider Tom Henderson during a recent Insider Gaming Weekly podcast. The report suggests that Ubisoft is continuing to map out its major franchises carefully, with the next entry in the Ghost Recon series expected to follow the rumored Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag project.
The Ghost Recon franchise has been largely absent since the launch of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint. That title faced a mixed reception at launch, with criticism aimed at its progression systems and overall design direction. Ubisoft later introduced updates, including an Immersive Mode and the return of AI squadmates, but player interest had already declined. The company also attempted to expand the brand with Ghost Recon Frontline, a battle royale-style title that was scrapped in 2022 after negative feedback during early reveal stages.
According to Henderson, Ubisoft is still targeting a release window around 2026 for the next Ghost Recon title. In contrast, the long-in-development Splinter Cell Remake has reportedly been pushed further, now aiming for 2027. The delay indicates a longer production cycle for the stealth reboot, which has remained mostly absent from official updates.
The report also highlights challenges surrounding the Far Cry series. Henderson noted that the next installment has gone through a difficult development process. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot previously confirmed that two Far Cry projects are in development, including a mainline sequel and a multiplayer-focused experience. Both titles are currently expected to launch in or after 2027.
In addition, the Rayman remake is said to be progressing at a steady pace, although it has also been delayed internally and is now planned for release next year. Overall, Ubisoft’s current roadmap suggests a focus on spacing out its major releases while addressing development challenges across several key franchises.
