Assassin’s Creed Remakes Confirmed by Ubisoft CEOVarious Types of AC Games to Come Out Regularly, Seemingly Yearly
In a recent interview on the Ubisoft website, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that several
reimaginings of Assassin’s Creed games are in the works. Though, he did not specify which titles are getting
reimagined. He shared, "Firstly, players can be excited about some
reimaginings, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and
refresh them; there are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich." Fans may expect to see classic entries in the Assassin’s Creed series completely
rejuvenated.
Beyond reimaginings, Guillemot said that there are a "variety of experiences" that fans can expect in the coming years. "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," he explained.
Upcoming titles like Assassin’s Creed Hexe and Assassin’s Creed Shadows promise to offer fresh and unique experiences within the franchise. Hexe, set in 16th-century Europe, is targeting a
2026 launch, while the mobile game Assassin's Creed Jade is expected in
2025. Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set in feudal Japan, will be released on November 15,
2024.
Ubisoft has a history of remastering its classic titles, with releases like Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection in 2016 and Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered in 2018. Last year, reports surfaced about a potential remake of the fan-favorite Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, though Ubisoft has yet to confirm this.
Ubisoft Pushes for Generative AI
In addition to discussing remakes and new titles, Guillemot touched on the evolving
cutting-edge technology in game development. He highlighted the
breakthroughs in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, particularly its
groundbreaking weather system that impacts gameplay and
dramatic visual improvements. He also reiterated his belief in the potential of generative AI to
revolutionize game worlds.
“Technology is evolving at such a rapid pace that there are infinite possibilities for innovation,” Guillemot noted. “In Assassin's Creed Shadows, for example, we have a weather system that will transform its gameplay; ponds that were once swimmable might freeze, for instance.”
“Visually, we're also seeing a quantum leap forward for the series. I have also been very vocal about the potential I see in generative AI and how it can transform NPCs to be more intelligent, more interactive,” he added. “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.”
