Ubisoft is the publisher of the Assassin’s Creed video game series.
The series was created and developed within Ubisoft’s network of studios, beginning with Ubisoft Montreal’s work on the original Assassin’s Creed. Ubisoft has published the main games, spin-offs, downloadable content, and related franchise material since the first title launched in 2007.
Different Ubisoft studios have led different entries. Ubisoft Montreal developed the original game and later directed major installments including Assassin’s Creed Origins. Ubisoft Quebec led Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, while Ubisoft Singapore has contributed to maritime gameplay and other projects. These credits can make the developer and publisher seem interchangeable, but they describe different roles.
Ubisoft is a French video-game company founded in 1986 by the Guillemot brothers. Its other major franchises include Far Cry, Just Dance, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six. Assassin’s Creed remains one of the company’s best-known properties, with games spanning historical periods from the Third Crusade to the Viking Age.
