The cancellation of an Assassin’s Creed game taking place post-Civil War is a sad sight as that would’ve been a great entry to the series. Playing as a slave hunting down America’s KKK feels like a good ol’ tale about dealing with injustice and prejudice. But unfortunately, due to America’s increasingly volatile political climate, that Кредо Убийцы game will not see the light of day.
This isn’t the first time Ubisoft has created an Кредо Убийцы entry about the plights of slavery. The standalone Кредо Убийцы приключение, Свободный крик, was one of the many entries of the series that dealt with the brutality of slavery in the West Indies.

Serving as an extra story content to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Свободный крик takes the fan-favorite character Adewale into Saint-Domingue, one of the prime hotspots of European slave trading back in the 18th century. Throughout his adventures, he’d be liberating places in the West Indies from slavery, freeing his brothers and sisters from injustice. It may not be the best Assassin’s Creed in terms of gameplay, but it was one of those titles that dealt with a harrowing moment in history and Ubisoft did a great job highlighting it.
Свободный крик was one of Ubisoft’s fresh perspectives about the other moments in history in the franchise. It serves as an extension of the Assassin vs. Templar battles away from our favorite characters like Ezio and Altair. This kind of standalone storytelling was made possible all thanks to how well-made Shay Cormac’s story did in Кредо убийцы: Изгой.

The cancellation of the post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed title is interesting, because Ubisoft has already tackled issues like this, especially with the PS Vita game, Assassin’s Creed Liberation, which sees Aveline also dealing with her own injustice in the Spanish occupation in Louisiana. It’s a shame that the online harassment is endangering the lives of its game devs after the debacle with Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Ubisoft canning a post-Civil War Кредо Убийцы game is such a missed opportunity, and they’re not at all to blame for it. They had to play it safe.
Politics have always existed in videogames. It’s why we get great franchises like Metal Gear, Fallout, and a whole lot more. It is ingrained in most videogames, telling stories that mirror the real world but told through a different lens.

This cancelled Кредо Убийцы game was meant to release sometime in Holiday 2027, with the Black Flag remake likely coming out first and probably after Hexe. While this is a case of wasted opportunity, it’s too risky for Ubisoft without endangering its team from the online vitriol that came with Assassin’s Creed Тени.
It would’ve been a damn good game.
