Ubisoft Confirms No Other Assassin’s Creed Remakes in Development

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that no other Assassin’s Creed remakes are currently in active development, a statement that caught many fans off guard given how well the recent Black Flag Resynced performed at launch. The publisher made the announcement in an official statement posted to its website, marking a notable shift in direction for one of gaming’s biggest franchises.

The Announcement and Why It Surprised Fans

According to Eurogamer, Ubisoft’s statement reads: “We currently have no other Assassin’s Creed remake actively in development. Our teams are already focused on the next chapter of Assassin’s Creed titles, including projects you haven’t heard about yet, featuring new settings and stories.”

The confirmation stands in contrast to comments made by Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot in 2024, when he specifically referenced remakes in the plural, telling fans they could look forward to multiple projects revisiting older entries in the series. That promise appears to have been quietly shelved, with no explanation offered for the change in plan.

As Gamekult notes, the decision is especially surprising given the commercial success of Black Flag Resynced, which sold over 3.5 million copies and exceeded its annual sales expectations within just the first 14 days on sale.

What Comes Next for Assassin’s Creed

Rock Paper Shotgun reports that Ubisoft’s development teams are now concentrated on two known upcoming titles: Assassin’s Creed Hexe and the multiplayer project codenamed Invictus. Hexe, in development at Ubisoft Montreal, is described as a darker, narrative-driven game set in 16th century Europe. The title was announced in 2022 and was once believed to be targeting a 2026 release, but Ubisoft’s head of franchise Jean Guesdon confirmed earlier this year that the team is taking additional time to fulfill its ambitious vision. A report from August further suggested the game remains at least a year away from release.

Invictus, also led by Ubisoft Montreal, is positioned as a player-versus-player multiplayer experience developed by veterans of the For Honor team. Beyond that description, details on how the game will look or function remain undisclosed.

The Door Is Not Closed Forever

Ubisoft was careful to frame the announcement as a reflection of current priorities rather than a permanent end to remakes. “Like many of you, we love the idea of revisiting our classic titles, and we’ll keep exploring opportunities to bring older titles back,” the company said, adding the franchise’s well-known motto: “Nothing is true, everything is permitted.”

As Jeuxvideo.com observes, the franchise’s future has drawn scrutiny from fans who feel the series has leaned too heavily on a familiar formula, and Ubisoft itself appears to be reconsidering its approach. The company is also navigating a period of significant internal change, including the departure of longtime franchise lead Marc-Alexis Coté and the formation of the Vantage Studios subsidiary with Tencent to oversee its major IP.
