Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot, recently confirmed the development of multiple Assassin's Creed remakes, promising a modernization of classic entries.

Beyond remakes, Guillemot revealed a plan for a more consistent release schedule for diverse Assassin's Creed experiences. The goal is regular releases, yet each title will offer a unique gameplay style, preventing yearly repetition.
The upcoming Assassin's Creed Hexe (set in 16th-century Europe, slated for 2026), Assassin's Creed Jade (a mobile title expected in 2025), and Assassin's Creed Shadows (feudal Japan, releasing November 15, 2024) illustrate this commitment to variety.
Ubisoft's history of remastering classic titles, including Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection and Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered, further supports this initiative. While a remake of the popular Assassin's Creed Black Flag remains unconfirmed, speculation persists.
Guillemot also discussed technological advancements, highlighting the dynamic weather system in Assassin's Creed Shadows and the potential of generative AI to enhance game worlds. He envisions AI enriching NPCs, animals, and environments, creating more interactive and dynamic open worlds. The visual enhancements in Assassin's Creed Shadows represent a significant leap forward for the franchise.
