According to a report by Stephen Totilo, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin’s Creed game that would have been set after the American Civil War. Several people who used to work or currently work at Ubisoft confirmed this. The decision was made last year, following criticism of the announcement of Yasuke as a playable character in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Concerns about the political environment in the United States also played a role in the cancellation.
The game was planned to star a former slave who joins forces with assassins to fight against the growing Ku Klux Klan in the Southern United States.
Those who spoke with Totilo indicated the development team felt good about how the game was coming along, but the decision to stop work came from higher-ups.
Although there was debate around its depiction of Yasuke, Assassin’s Creed Shadows proved to be a crucial commercial win for Ubisoft when it released in early 2025, providing the struggling company with some much-needed financial relief.
Ubisoft and Tencent have partnered to create Vantage Studios, a new team that will develop future installments of popular franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. Importantly, Ubisoft will continue to own the rights to these game series.
The next major Assassin’s Creed game is likely to be Hexen, which was previously announced and will take place during the religious wars within the Holy Roman Empire.
