With the success and popularity of Assassin's Creed Origins, many have been wondering what Ubisoft's next move will be when it comes to the historical franchise. Will the French publisher opt to pump out another game later this year? A sequel to Origins, perhaps? Or will it take its time, and try for another hit a little later down the line?
Going by the words of Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, the answer is, thankfully, the latter. Quoted on Twitter by Jason Schreier, Guillemot commented on the future of Assassin's Creed at the company's latest financial briefing. When asked if the series will be annualised again, he said "We are concentrating on the moment on Assassin's Creed: Origins, for which we are going to launch a few other DLCs."
It sounds like Ubisoft has extended its plans for Origins. The game's first expansion launched last month, and its second is due in March, so does this mean that there's going to be even more after that? Given how long Ubisoft has been supporting other titles, it certainly seems plausible.
Guillemot added, "You will be amazed by what will come on Assassin's Creed Origins, so that's the only thing we can say now." Cheeky.
Are you happy with Ubisoft supporting Origins with more DLC rather than pumping out another title? Keep those blades hidden in the comments section below.

Nice! It's a really good game. I would love to come back for new content.
Great news. Origins was a brilliant bounce back for the series and I'm perfectly content with 'a few other DLCs' for it while a larger team focuses on the next game but doesn't have to worry about throwing it out there so soon after the most recent one.
I haven’t played it yet, but plan to. I very much welcome the approach to expand this game some more and wait on the inevitable sequel a little longer.
so many games so little time
I hope ubisoft could update the movement of bayek and horse ride as fluent as the last guardian “the boy” movement, the character movement in the last guardian is realistic unlike bayek movement and horse ride, stiff and didnt feel the weight, stiff movement makes the gameplay feels rushed and unrealistic, i think gameplay is the core if it not handled well it will affect the entire game, because ac origin have to be the best ac not just in par with the latter ac
I will not say no to new content for Assassin's Creed Origins.
I'm enjoying it but I'm going to pass on the dlc.
More story DLCs? sounds awesome. It's always great to see a triple-A company really focusing on, and investing in, more single-player content for their game.
Considering that they've just announced that they made more money from all it's games DLC than actual games (go figure) of course they want to create more DLC. DLC that's probably cut from the original game anyway as no DLC is made from the ground up anymore. I will get this game because it looks good but I think I'll wait now for a complete editon
I am happy with more DLC's - just hope they are covered though with the Season Pass I have as I doubt I would pay more for another 'hidden ones' size expansion. I enjoyed the hidden ones and looking forward to the next. I doubt any will be of the length and substance that the Witcher3's Blood and Wine offered.
@Nakatomi_Uk I doubt the Hidden Ones was cut from the main game. Its in a totally new area with a story set 4yrs on from the main game. Some 'cut and paste' elements maybe - same enemies essentially and no doubt a lot of the same assets used to create this but it doesn't feel cut and considering how quickly the team create whole new worlds in the past, a year between Unity's Paris and Syndicates London for example, its entirely possible that they can create these 'small' new areas, new short story etc in a few months.
May actually pick up my first Assassin's Creed game, when the inevitable GOTY edition releases.
Love it! Hopefully they do well and this sets a trend among other publishers. Less microtransaction, more DLC CONTENT. Nobody wants the pay to win system on consoles..
Of any type or value. You hear me DICE??
After typing out my first comment, I remembered an article I read yesterday about Kingdoms giant day 1 patch, and it got me second guessing what I originally said. Now I am afraid if publishers go the route of DLC instead of MTX, hopefully they dont withhold meaningful content just to release it later as an add-on at an additional cost.
Let's just got back to PS2 days, when a game wasn't released until it's finished and final version. Can I just pay 60$ for one full and complete game? Is that still a thing? /s
I spent about 30 hours doing every side-quest and exploring each area etc. Then since there were other games I wanted to play I realized 'd never go back and finish AC so just blitzed through the main story missions.
The game was so big I didn't even go into a lot of the map. I don't know why it even needs DLC. Same could be said of The Witcher though and look how they turned out...
@BAMozzy Unity and Syndicate were developed by completely different studios, so I doubt the world of syndicate's london was created in a year. Ubisoft has/had 9 studios working on AC games, with a fair amount of cross-collaboration going on i'm sure.
@Tilt_mode
There's always going to be some developers/publishers that screw things up. The PS2 days weren't perfect either. I can say in the case of AC Origins, it seems like something done right. I bought the game day one. It's a long, full game packed with content. The DLC just adds to it. I have no problem with that. Same with games like Horizon Zero Dawn and The Witcher 3.
Looking forward to getting this once the inevitable GOTY edition comes out. Glad they got the series back on track
@Old_School_Gamer There has only been one expansion so far. I finished it and enjoyed it.
I saw a lot of comments referencing a complete edition with DLC, but Ubisoft traditionally doesn't do this with Assassin's Creed. I'd love to buy that version, though. Does everyone still think it's coming?
@Gamer83
Spot on, you're right. PS2 wasn't perfect and I'm sure I have my rose tinted glasses on. I would probably start missing the DLC if it went away for good.
I have Witcher 3 for Xbox but haven't got around to it. I have so many games in my backlog, and really prefer PS over my other systems. I have HAD also, played it up to ~level 10, shortly before the first cauldron... then MHW came out, and Persona 5 went on sale...and yeah...lol.
I am playing like 12 games right now, and can't put down any of them! I make a little progress each day, and convince myself it's make me a more well-rounded gamer playing all these different games, but honestly I'm dreaming of Japanese dinosaurs with guns and swords driving cars and kicking soccer balls saving the world using their RPG elements one temple at a time lmao.
@Tilt_mode
I have a pretty big backlog myself, I still haven't gotten around to Horizon's DLC which came out quite a while ago, and I had that pre-ordered back when it was announced. I've been playing MHW and Shadow of the Colossus recently so that's set me back and the Bayonetta Collection is tomorrow. I want to knock all this stuff out before April when Yakuza 6 and God of War are set to release, but it might not happen.
