Ubisoft's Future Lineup Leak Reveals Animal Crossing-Inspired Project and Beyond Good & Evil 2 Progress

Ubisoft's Internal Roadmap Leak Unveils Animal Crossing-Inspired Project and Major Franchise Updates In a significant development for fans and industry insiders alike, prominent gaming journalist Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming has unveiled what appears to be an extensive look into Ubisoft's internal project lineup for 2026 and 2027.

This newly surfaced information provides rare insights into upcoming releases, legacy franchise revivals, and even a Nintendo Switch competitor inspired by Animal Crossing. Among the standout disclosures is 'Project Alterra,' described as a long-speculated game from Ubisoft that draws clear inspiration from Nintendo's iconic Animal Crossing series.

Although official details remain limited, Project Alterra's inclusion signifies Ubisoft’s ambition to expand its portfolio with life-simulation and community-building mechanics—a genre Nintendo has dominated, particularly on the Switch platform. Additionally, Henderson confirmed that 'Project BG&E2,' better known to longtime fans as Beyond Good & Evil 2, remains in active development at Ubisoft.

The game's progress, long called into question due to its extended development timeline, has now been reaffirmed.

According to Henderson, Ubisoft is still moving forward with the much-anticipated sequel, quieting rumors of its cancellation. The leaked list also highlights several other key projects: - Project Ovr: A new mainline Ghost Recon title, continuing the tactical shooter legacy. - Project Steambot: A Rayman project, signaling the potential return of the beloved platforming mascot. - Project Hexe: The next entry in the mainline Assassin’s Creed franchise, building on Ubisoft’s historical-action pedigree. - Project North: A remake of the fan-favorite Splinter Cell game. - Project Blackbird: The latest mainline installment for the Far Cry series, with Project Maverick labeled as an extraction-based Far Cry shooter. - Project Rewind: A Prince of Persia remake, continuing efforts to revitalize Ubisoft's classic franchises. - Project Crest: A World War II-themed extraction shooter, drawing interest for the company’s foray into historically inspired PvPvE formats. Beyond 2027, Ubisoft's long-term vision includes development on The Division 3, the next core entry in The Crew racing series, and numerous additions to the celebrated Assassin’s Creed universe.

Henderson also noted smaller-scale projects such as a turn-based Rainbow 6 game, reflecting Ubisoft's tendency to create companion experiences tied to its leading intellectual properties. When approached for comment, sources close to Ubisoft reiterated the company’s commitment to “delivering innovative experiences on both established series and new ventures,” encapsulating the breadth and ambition evident in this multi-year roadmap. With franchises like Animal Crossing continuing to thrive on the Nintendo Switch and eShop, Ubisoft’s Project Alterra could signal a strategic play for a similar audience.

Meanwhile, returning names such as Rayman, Prince of Persia, and Beyond Good & Evil 2 demonstrate the company's dedication to both legacy and innovation.

While official announcements and Nintendo Direct presentations may bring more concrete details in the future, this internal roadmap offers the industry a compelling preview of Ubisoft’s next chapter.
