Assassin's Creed Remakes Confirmed by Ubisoft CEO

A Regular Stream of Diverse Assassin's Creed Experiences

Guillemot revealed that multiple Assassin's Creed remakes are underway, though he didn't specify which titles. He emphasized the opportunity to revisit older games and modernize them, stating, "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich." Fans can anticipate a refreshed experience for classic entries.

Beyond remakes, Guillemot promised a diverse range of experiences in the coming years. He explained, "The goal is to have Assassin’s Creed games come out more regularly, but not for it to be the same experience every year."

Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (targeting a 2026 launch) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (releasing November 15, 2024), along with the mobile game Assassin's Creed Jade (expected in 2025), will offer unique experiences within the franchise. Hexe, set in 16th-century Europe, and Shadows, set in feudal Japan, promise fresh gameplay.

Ubisoft has a history of remastering its classic titles, including Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered (2018). While rumors of an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake circulated last year, official confirmation is still pending.

Embracing Generative AI

Guillemot also discussed advancements in game development technology. He highlighted Assassin's Creed Shadows’ dynamic weather system, which impacts gameplay, and significant visual improvements. He expressed strong belief in the potential of generative AI to enhance game worlds, stating:

"Technology is evolving at such a pace that there are limitless possibilities for evolution...In Assassin's Creed Shadows, for example, we have a weather system that will affect its gameplay; ponds that were once swimmable might freeze, for instance. Visually, we're also seeing a big step forward for the series. I have also been very vocal about the potential I see in generative AI and how it can enrich NPCs to be more intelligent, more interactive. This could potentially extend to animals in the world, to the world itself. There is still so much we can do to enrich these open worlds to be even more dynamic."
