The Assassin’s Creed franchise exceeded Ubisoft’s H1 2025-26 expectations

Ubisoft (UBSFY) shared its latest quarterly earnings today after a surprise delay last week. In it, the company discussed the performance of its biggest IP: Assassin’s Creed. Ubisoft says that the Assassin’s Creed franchise exceeded its expectations for the first half of the current fiscal year.

The update on the Assassin’s Creed games can be found in Ubisoft’s earnings report for the first half of the 2025-2026 fiscal year. “The Assassin’s Creed franchise exceeded our expectations, confirming its positive momentum and ability to engage players over time,” the company wrote. Ubisoft goes on to call out the addition of New Game+ and the Claws of Awaji DLC that was released in September as re-engaging players post launch.

Interestingly, Ubisoft says that older Assassin’s Creed titles also overperformed during the first half of the fiscal year. Ubisoft recently released a DLC for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which was at least partially funded by the Saudi Arabian government.

As for what’s next for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Ubisoft will likely shift its focus to Hexe, the codename for an upcoming game set during the Witch Trials during the Roman Empire. Ubisoft also announced that its deal to form Vantage Studios in association with Tencent will close imminently.
