Three years have passed since the release of the game, suggesting it’s only a matter of time before Ubisoft announces its plans for the series’ future. Until further notice, despite common Ubisoft patterns, early reveals have compromised secrecy surrounding upcoming game details, thanks to insider information from Tom Henderson’s report at Insider Gaming.
As previously reported, Ubisoft Montreal is developing two projects: an unannounced title codenamed and another standalone extraction shooter spinoff codenamed , set in the Alaskan wilderness; meanwhile, the former takes place within a 24-hour real-time restriction, where the protagonist must rescue their family from a perilous conspiracy cult.
Now, Henderson suggests he’s furnished additional details, contending that these titles are strategically intended to diverge significantly from the long-standing norms. The moment-to-moment gameplay in each title will likely feature fresh and refined movement mechanics, including tactical sprinting, vaulting, sliding, and more. Each video game may feature new stock and loot systems.
Previous reports suggested that and would hit shelves in Fall 2025, but Henderson has revealed that unforeseen complexities surrounding their respective improvements have necessitated delays, with both titles now slated for release in 2026. Despite initial enthusiasm, insiders suggest underlying doubts exist regarding the project’s viability, with some wondering if it will join the ranks of Ubisoft’s past failed attempts to capitalize on emerging trends, such as Watch Dogs and Beyond Good & Evil 2.
