Ubisoft is set to release the latest entry in its long running Assassin’s Creed series in a few months, and ahead of this has suggested future games will see a longer development time.
When Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches this November, it will have been in development for four years. This will mark the longest development period for the series to date, coming in at a year longer than that of previous series tentpole Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (which released in 2020).
However, according to Shadows’ lead producer Karl Onnée, four years is “the right balance to go from conception to production and get the feedback necessary to adapt” an Assassin’s Creed game.
