Ubisoft Signals Multiple Assassin’s Creed Remakes and Related Projects
Ubisoft has publicly indicated that several remakes of Assassin’s Creed titles are in development, a move the company frames as a chance to bring beloved installments up to modern standards. In discussions about this plan, the firm’s leadership, including Chief Executive Officer Yves Guillemot, emphasized a commitment to expanding the franchise while preserving what made the early games special for longtime players. While specific details remain under wraps, the outlook is that fans can expect high-quality reimaginings that honor the narratives, worlds, and mechanics that defined the series in its original form.
According to Guillemot, leaks suggesting remakes of older Assassin’s Creed entries are genuine, though he avoided confirming exact titles or timelines. The message from Ubisoft is clear: remakes are part of a broader strategy to revisit and modernize classic experiences, ensuring the environments and lore continue to resonate with both veteran and new players. Some whispers point toward Black Flag as a potential candidate, alongside other unannounced entries, but official confirmations are still pending.
Guillemot underscored that the forthcoming remakes will be crafted to delight the community. He suggested that refreshing these worlds will help Ubisoft recapture the magic of early adventures while integrating contemporary design, graphics, and gameplay systems that today’s audiences expect. The aim, he noted, is to deliver experiences that feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time.
Beyond the Assassin’s Creed slate, Ubisoft’s portfolio includes other ambitious projects. Among them is Hexe, a title described as markedly different from Shadows, the rumored next mainline entry in the Assassin’s Creed saga. This broader creative stream reflects Ubisoft’s ongoing commitment to expanding its catalog with new perspectives and gameplay innovations.
Additionally, the studio has long been associated with remakes and remasters across other beloved franchises. Notably, speculation has circulated about remakes in the Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time series, illustrating Ubisoft’s willingness to revisit cherished worlds. In the Assassin’s Creed line, supporters are keeping an eye on the next major installment, Shadows, which some expect to debut later this year. On the day of its release, Ubisoft plans to activate Animus Hub, a platform designed to bring together multiple entries in the Assassin’s Creed universe under the banner of previously referred-to Assassin’s Creed Infinity. The reimagined pacing and integration could offer a new entry point for fans returning to the Animus experience.
Recent coverage has also touched on Capcom’s development of a remaster for the first episode of Dead Rising, indicating a broader industry trend toward revival and modernization of classic titles. These moves collectively signal a renewed interest in recasting landmark games for current hardware and user expectations, while still honoring their core stories and worlds.
