Ubisoft Confirms Assassin's Creed Remakes

A Regular Stream of Diverse AC Experiences

Guillemot's interview revealed plans for several Assassin's Creed remakes, though specific titles remain undisclosed. He emphasized the opportunity to revisit and modernize classic entries, highlighting the enduring richness of their worlds. Fans can anticipate a revitalization of beloved older games.

Beyond remakes, Guillemot promised a diverse range of Assassin's Creed experiences in the coming years. The aim, he stated, is for more frequent releases without sacrificing unique gameplay each year.

Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (targeting a 2026 release) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (releasing November 15, 2024) exemplify this commitment to fresh experiences. Hexe is set in 16th-century Europe, while Shadows takes players to feudal Japan. Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile title, is slated for a 2025 launch.

Ubisoft's history of remastering classic titles, including Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered (2018), sets a precedent for these remakes. While rumors of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake circulated last year, official confirmation is pending.

Ubisoft Embraces Generative AI

Guillemot also addressed technological advancements in game development. He showcased Assassin's Creed Shadows' dynamic weather system, impacting gameplay with features like freezing ponds, and significant visual enhancements. He further reiterated his confidence in generative AI's potential to enrich game worlds.

Guillemot stated, "Technology is rapidly evolving, creating boundless opportunities." He cited Assassin's Creed Shadows' weather system as an example, and emphasized the potential of generative AI to create more intelligent, interactive NPCs and animals, and to enhance the dynamism of open worlds.
