Ubisoft confirms multiple Assassin’s Creed remakes

Some of Ubisoft’s older Assassin’s Creed games are getting the remake treatment

Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, has officially confirmed that multiple Assassin’s Creed remakes are in the works. This confirmation comes after reports from 2023 that claimed that Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag is getting remade.

Ubisoft plans to release Assassin’s Creed games more frequently. This will include the release of both new titles and remakes of the series’ classics. With this more regular release schedule, Ubisoft doesn’t plan to release “the same experience every year”. Each new game will play differently. Guillemot has also stated that the company has “a lot of good things to come”. This includes “Assassin’s Creed Hexe”, which will play differently to Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Below is what Guillemot had to say about the Assassin’s Creed series as part of a recent interview.

On the Assassin’s Creed front, we’ve had Mirage, which was a leaner homage to the series’ roots, and now Shadows, which is much larger in scope and more in the vein of Odyssey/Valhalla. Looking at the future, can we expect this continued variety? Smaller games alongside bigger ones?

YG: Firstly, players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we’ve created in the past and modernize them; there are worlds in some of our older Assassin’s Creed games that are still extremely rich. Secondly, to answer your question, there will be plenty of experience variety. The goal is to have Assassin’s Creed games come out more regularly, but not for it to be the same experience every year. There are a lot of good things to come, including Assassin’s Creed Hexe, which we’ve announced, which is going to be a very different game from Assassin’s Creed Shadows. We’re going to surprise people, I think.

If recent rumours are correct, Ubisoft’s first Assassin’s Creed remake will likely be for Black Flag. After that, we may see remakes of the original Assassin’s Creed, or parts of the Ezio trilogy. This trilogy includes Assassin’s Creed 2,  Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed Revelations.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is Ubisoft’s next Assassin’s Creed game. It is due to release on PC and consoles on November 15th this year.
