Ubisoft has confirmed that no additional Assassin’s Creed remakes are currently in active development, shifting its attention toward new titles and expanding the franchise with original settings and stories. In its official Assassin’s Creed Fall 2026 update, franchise Head of Content Jean Guesdon outlined the company's development priorities, including progress on Codename Hexe, changes to its multiplayer project Invictus, and the long awaited arrival of New Game+ for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Ubisoft also confirmed that additional information about Hexe will arrive in 2027, although this does not establish a release window for the game.
Following the successful July 9 launch of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft acknowledged the challenges of rebuilding classic games while preserving their original identity. The remake has now received its final major content update, introducing New Game+, Nightmare Mode, additional finishers, cosmetic rewards, and customization options for the Jackdaw and its crew. While further quality improvements are planned, Ubisoft confirmed that no other Assassin’s Creed remakes are currently being developed. However, the publisher has not ruled out revisiting older installments in the future, suggesting that its immediate priorities lie with new experiences rather than additional remakes.
Meanwhile, Codename Hexe continues progressing as a darker interpretation of Assassin’s Creed, with Ubisoft promising its next substantial development update in 2027. The studio has not announced a release date or provided additional gameplay information. Codename Invictus, the franchise's upcoming multiplayer experience, is also undergoing adjustments following its first private testing session. Hundreds of participants reportedly responded positively to its competitive combat, parkour, vertical environments, and character abilities, but requested stronger connections to the traditional Assassin’s Creed gameplay formula. Ubisoft is now refining the project while maintaining its competitive multiplayer direction.
Another major announcement concerns Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which has officially surpassed 40 million players since its 2020 release. To celebrate, Ubisoft will introduce New Game+ on November 5, 2026, allowing players to restart Eivor's journey while retaining much of their progression. The update introduces dedicated difficulty scaling, an optional progression system that incorporates equipment, runes, and Masteries into character power, and additional rewards. Players will also gain access to Mithril for upgrading Divine Gear, new achievements, a stash system, and a Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe from Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Ubisoft also confirmed that production of its live action Assassin’s Creed Netflix series is approaching completion in Rome, with composer Hannah Peel responsible for the soundtrack. Looking ahead, the publisher is preparing announcements, community events, and additional content for the franchise's 20th anniversary in 2027. The company emphasized that improving narrative consistency, respecting established lore, and maintaining the series' identity will remain central priorities for its upcoming projects.
Ubisoft's decision to prioritize original Assassin’s Creed experiences over additional remakes suggests a shift toward rebuilding the franchise's long term creative direction. Black Flag Resynced demonstrated that modernizing classic installments can attract considerable attention, but relying too heavily on remakes could limit opportunities for innovation. Codename Hexe remains particularly interesting because its darker approach could offer a meaningful departure from the increasingly expansive RPG formula. Meanwhile, bringing New Game+ to Valhalla nearly 6 years after launch demonstrates that Ubisoft is still willing to revisit older titles when community demand justifies additional development resources.
Should Ubisoft prioritize new experiences like Assassin’s Creed Hexe, or would you rather see classic titles such as the original Assassin’s Creed and Ezio trilogy receive full remakes?
