The latest entry in the franchise, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, already received a 60fps patch last year for both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It's unknown whether Ubisoft will go back and apply a 60fps patch for 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins for the newest generation of consoles as well.
In terms of Assassin's Creed's future, the next iteration is a project codenamed Assassin's Creed Infinity. It looks like it'll pivot to a more games as a service model more than previous entries in the franchise, as it's going to be a big online platform that evolves over time. It reportedly will feature multiple settings with room to expand after its launch. Additionally, it won't release until 2024 at the earliest.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
