The Wiksmith Video Game Franchise is a franchise of video games published and developed by Assassin New World Media, focusing on first person life in a 1000 A.D. village. With both mobile and console games, the Wiksmith franchise includes the original Wiksmith (1999), Wiksmith II (2007), Wiksmith: Greener Pastures (2015), and Bloodangoria (2018). In the original, the player plays as a blacksmith who has a family, and must survive the wilderness, disease, and the harsh social system of the town. The sequel involves Wiksmith (whom the player may name and design as they wish) gaining more power as a blacksmith, and becoming a lord in the village. The third game sees Wiksmith fall from power, leave the village in disgrace, and turn to farming in the country. The final game, Bloodangoria, sees Wiksmith go to the infamous village of Bloodangoria, to fight as a knight using the blacksmith, farming, and political skills he/she has acquired.

Assassin Media has confirmed that Bloodangoria will be the final installment in the series until at least 2030, due to upcoming projects and a larger focus on the Creed franchise.
