Assassin's Creed Nebula appears online, will apparently feature Aztec Empire setting

Ubisoft are really going all out when it comes to Assassin’s Creed. It’s a great time to be a fan of the franchise because oh my. There are so many Assassin’s Creed games on the way. Well, 11 to be exact if we’re to believe the latest leak.

The main focus right now is understandably on Assassin’s Creed Mirage which is due to be released on 12 October. Last month, the game’s map size was confirmed and you’ll be pleased to know that it’s mercifully the smallest AC world in years. The stealth-based game is said to take the franchise back to its roots. During June’s Ubisoft Forward, we also got our first look at Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade, a new free-to-play mobile experience set in ancient China. If that’s not enough to excite you, fan-favourite Ezio Auditore will also be returning in Assassin’s Creed Nexus. Today though, we’re here to talk about Assassin’s Creed Nebula.

Take a look at Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s latest gameplay trailer.

Assassin’s Creed Nebula is believed to be another major AC single-player release, in the vein of Mirage as opposed to the VR Nexus or free-to-play Codename Jade. Its release date is unknown and likely many years away, as the game is thought to be in its concept/prototype phase but Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has seemingly leaked that the game will have three different settings.

Nebula will reportedly be set across India, the Aztec Empire, and around the Mediterranean. Consider me positively intrigued. Henderson also detailed Project Raid, a free-to-play PvE co-op title, and Project Echoes, another multiplayer title.

In recent days, it’s been reported that a remake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is in development. Both Kotaku and Insider Gaming’s sources confirm this to be true, although we don’t have confirmation from Ubisoft themselves. Either way, it’s clear that there’s a lot to look forward to.
