The Assassin’s Creed franchise is poised for a significant expansion into tabletop gaming, possibly debuting in 2025. With the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows in February and multiple projects currently underway, this beloved series is gearing up for an exciting year. In addition to video games, the franchise has ventured into multimedia collaborations, including several projects with Netflix. Amidst this multimedia flurry, there appears to be a novel tabletop game on the horizon, adding another layer to the Assassin’s Creed universe.
According to reports from Wargamer, Mantic Games has reportedly secured the rights to develop an Assassin’s Creed tabletop game. Although Mantic has not disclosed specific details beyond a brief mention in their 2025 launch video, the company has a reputation for creating engaging skirmish games and detailed miniatures.
Mantic’s most notable titles include Walking Dead: All Out War and the recent Halo: Flashpoint. While it’s certainly plausible that Mantic will create a conventional board game based on the Assassin’s Creed mechanics—similar to their existing board game adaptations like the one based on the Worms video game franchise—it seems more probable that they are developing a new skirmish-based experience.

Interestingly, 2025 is set to see a second tabletop game based on Assassin’s Creed. CMON is launching a tabletop RPG that allows players to craft characters from both contemporary settings and various historical timelines. Furthermore, the Canadian board game publisher Triton Noir has created a series of campaign board games that explore storylines and settings seldom touched upon in the video games. Given Triton Noir’s ongoing expansions, it seems likely that Mantic is gearing up for a miniatures skirmish game rather than a traditional board game format.
While Assassin’s Creed is often recognized for its single-player narrative-driven experiences, the proposed skirmish game might focus on cooperative gameplay, reminiscent of the team dynamics seen in titles such as Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, and Assassin’s Creed Unity, all of which feature engaging multiplayer options. Furthermore, Assassin’s Creed Shadows promises to incorporate multiple protagonists within a shared storyline, potentially mirroring the team action mechanics found in Mantic’s own Halo: Flashpoint.

The potential for an Assassin’s Creed skirmish game is particularly compelling, especially considering the franchise’s rich themes of stealth and tactical deception. We envision players leveraging various terrains and devising strategies to outmaneuver their opponents, much like the gameplay mechanics that fans have grown to love in the video games. Mantic Games, with their expertise, is well-suited to create a gaming experience that encapsulates the unique essence of Assassin’s Creed, along with crafting impressive miniatures. We eagerly anticipate Mantic Games’ announcement of their plans for Assassin’s Creed later this year.
