Assassin's Creed Shows the Way for The Division and Rainbow Six
Ubisoft intends to follow the Assassin's Creed series when developing The Division and Rainbow Six brands. This means their fans will be able to count on much more attractions than before.
Ubisoft is very pleased with how gamers have received the ambitious plans to develop the Assassin's Creed brand. The reactions have been so good that the publisher intends to apply the same model to Tom Clancy's The Division and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.
- Ubisoft wants the three brands together to deliver $2 billion in revenue annually over the next five years.
- No details were revealed, but in the case of Assassin's Creed several major new installments in the series have been announced (Assassin's Creed: Mirage, Assassin's Creed: Hexe and Assassin's Creed: Red), live- service Assassin's Creed: Infinity, multiplayer Assassin's Creed: Invictus and two mobile projects in the form of Assassin's Creed: Jade and an unnamed game developed for Netflix. On top of that, the brand will get a TV series and more comic books and novels.
- A similar development direction can already be seen in the case of The Division. Work is underway on a F2P spin-off The Division: Heartland and the mobile The Division: Resurgence. A feature-length movie is also planned.
- Also in the case of Rainbow Six, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Extraction are already on the market, and Ubisoft has additionally announced a mobile spin-off. Statements by Ubisoft's CEO suggest that we can also expect an adaptation of the series for other media.
- Rainbow Six and The Division are also likely to receive their own live-service in the style of AC Infinity, which is a hub connecting different installments available on multiple hardware platforms. Such solutions are being introduced, for example, already in the case of Call of Duty and this is the direction in which many other AAA series will follow.
