Don't expect more Assassin's Creed remakes anytime soon
Ubisoft shared some updates on the franchise, including confirmation of a New Game+ option for Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
Ubisoft has shared several updates on the Assassin's Creed franchise, but there's a potential letdown for fans. Despite the success of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the company has confirmed that they currently have no other Assassin's Creed remakes in development. Instead, Ubisoft's teams are concentrating on next-generation Assassin's Creed titles with fresh settings and narratives.
The company learned a great deal from its work on Black Flag Resynced, which involved rebuilding old systems and integrating new elements, balancing legacy with innovation. While Ubisoft has no immediate plans to revisit older games, they've expressed openness to revisiting past titles in the future. Recently, Ubisoft released the final major update for Black Flag Resynced, introducing New Game+ and a harder difficulty setting.
They also announced that a New Game+ option will be added to Assassin's Creed Valhalla on November 5. Ubisoft will provide more updates on current-gen consoles in the coming days. The company mentioned that the multiplayer Assassin's Creed project, Codename Invictus, is evolving in an exciting new direction, incorporating more of the series' signature elements after receiving playtest feedback.
Additionally, Ubisoft is making steady progress on Codename Hexe, the upcoming mainline entry in the series, with a more ominous theme. They plan to share further information about this darker Assassin's Creed experience in 2027. Meanwhile, production on Netflix's live-action Assassin's Creed series is nearing completion, though no release date has been announced yet.
Lastly, Ubisoft revealed that the franchise will commemorate its 20th anniversary in 2027, promising a year of announcements, updates, rewards, and community events.
