Will there be an AC 5?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

No, there will likely never be a game specifically titled "Assassin‘s Creed 5". After Assassin‘s Creed 4: Black Flag in 2013, Ubisoft moved away from numbering the games in the main series.

What is Assassins Creed 5 called?

The game that followed Black Flag was Assassin‘s Creed Unity, released in November 2014. So while not formally called "AC 5", Unity is essentially the fifth mainline entry in the series.

Is Valhalla the last AC game?

No. In September 2022, Ubisoft announced the next major AC game will be Assassin‘s Creed Mirage, set to release in 2023. Ubisoft also revealed two more AC games in early development – Codename Red and Codename Hexe.

Additionally, Ubisoft is developing a long-term platform called Assassin‘s Creed Infinity to support future AC games and experiences. So the Assassin‘s Creed franchise still seems to have a long future ahead.

What‘s the next Assassin‘s Creed game going to be?

As mentioned above, the next major AC release will be Assassin‘s Creed Mirage in 2023. It is set in 9th century Baghdad and returns to a more stealth-focused gameplay style compared to recent RPG-inspired games like Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla.

Longest AC game to beat

Here are the mainline AC games by longest average time to beat:

  1. Assassin‘s Creed Valhalla – 47 Hours
  2. Assassin‘s Creed Odyssey – 42 Hours
  3. Assassin‘s Creed Origins – 29.5 Hours
  4. Assassin‘s Creed IV: Black Flag – 22.5 Hours
  5. Assassin‘s Creed II – 19 Hours

So Valhalla is currently the longest AC game, with Odyssey a close second.

What was the last "real" AC game?

The last major numbered entry was Assassin‘s Creed IV: Black Flag in 2013. Since then, main games have included:

  • Unity
  • Syndicate
  • Origins
  • Odyssey
  • Valhalla

So while not formally numbered entries, these have all been core games advancing the modern day story and lore of the franchise. The last of these was 2020‘s Valhalla.

I hope this provides a helpful overview of the state of the Assassin‘s Creed franchise and answers the key question – no, there will likely not be an "Assassin‘s Creed 5", but the series continues to expand with exciting new settings and stories. Let me know if you have any other questions!
