AI summary of the reporting below · Updated · How we work
Ubisoft has confirmed that it currently has no other Assassin's Creed remakes actively in development, despite the release of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. In a series of franchise updates on Thursday, the publisher revealed that its teams are instead prioritizing new settings and unannounced stories for the series' next chapter. Along with the shift, Ubisoft announced that a New Game+ mode will arrive for 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla on November 5. [1][2]
The company called rebuilding older systems for Black Flag Resynced a massive undertaking, though it noted it remains open to revisiting older titles in the future. Meanwhile, development is moving ahead on Codename Hexe, which Ubisoft describes as a darker mainline experience. Fans will not receive the next major update on Hexe until 2027, which marks an information milestone rather than an official release date. [1][2]
Other projects across the franchise are also progressing. The multiplayer title known as Codename Invictus is evolving to include more traditional series hallmarks after a recent playtest, and filming has nearly concluded on Netflix's live-action adaptation. Ubisoft plans to mark the franchise's 20th anniversary in 2027 with reveals, community events, and in-game rewards. [1]
