After a tough year, Ubisoft is tripling down on Assassin's Creed with plans to boost the franchise's already massive 2,000-person team to approximately 2,800 developers.
As part of its annual financial report, Ubisoft confirmed plans to "increase the number of talents working on the Assassin’s Creed brand by 40% over the coming years." On a follow-up conference call, CFO Frédérick Duguet clarified that "today, we have around 2,000 talents working on the franchise" already – a staggering figure worth repeating, but also a number consistent with the enormous lineup of upcoming Assassin's Creed games. It's good to remember that the vast majority of games, even at the AAA level, have far fewer developers than the amount that Ubisoft now wants to add to Assassin's Creed.
