According to its own data, the video game publishing giant owns over 45 development studios and employs over 20,000 people \u2014 significantly more than competitors such as EA \u2014 though Ubisoft is reportedly dealing with an exodus of talent.\n\n Despite its ongoing struggles, Ubisoft is continuing to focus on producing new entries in its stable of established franchises \u2014 Assassin&#8217;s Creed, Tom Clancy, and Far Cry, to name a few \u2014 while intermittently experimenting with new franchises like Immortals Fenyx Rising and Riders Republic.  It&#8217;s a one-two punch that makes Ubisoft and its development decisions interesting to follow, even if those experiments don&#8217;t always pan out.\n\n To give you a better idea of \u200b\u200bthe company&#8217;s current production pipeline, we&#8217;ve created this list of every Ubisoft game we know to be in development for consoles and PC.
