Assassin's Creed remakes: Ubisoft says none in development
The official franchise update also brings New Game Plus to Valhalla, more Black Flag remake features, and a 2027 update planned for Codename Hexe
Ubisoft has given an official Assassin's Creed franchise update. Ubisoft confirmed that no new Assassin's Creed remakes are currently in development, though more may come in the future. The update also covers New Game Plus for Valhalla, new features for the Black Flag remake, the multiplayer project, the Netflix series and the darker game known as Codename Hexe.
No Assassin's Creed 1 remake in active development, despite the Stardust reports
Ubisoft's confirmation that no new remakes are in the works surprised me. Leakers like Tom Henderson had reported a second remake codenamed Stardust, and many people believed it was the original Assassin's Creed getting remade.
So either plans changed, or that project isn't in active development just yet. Either way, I wouldn't expect an AC1 remake anytime soon.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is getting New Game Plus
This is the news that caught me off guard. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is getting New Game Plus. That's been a request for years, and it's finally happening. Now is a perfect time to go back to England with Eivor.
The Black Flag remake adds New Game Plus and Nightmare mode
On top of that, the Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake has received its own New Game Plus update. It also adds Nightmare mode, new finishers and even more customization.
Ubisoft wants a more coherent Assassin's Creed story
Ubisoft also says it is listening to fan feedback, with a "focus on preserving the unique identity and pillars of Assassin's Creed." The company wants a more coherent story and more dialogue between the developers and the fans. In my opinion, that's exactly what the franchise needs.
Codename Invictus, the Netflix series and Codename Hexe in 2027
Development on Codename Invictus, the multiplayer game, is still ongoing. Players even got hands on time with it in a private prototype session.
Production on Netflix's live action Assassin's Creed series is nearly done.
And for the big news, a major update is coming in 2027 on Codename Hexe, the darker Assassin's Creed game set during the Witch Trials.
That leaves one question: would you rather get an AC1 remake next or a brand new game like Hexe?

Sales numbers, a Tom Henderson leak about Project Stardust, and a Capcom style remake cadence point toward Assassin's Creed 1 as the next full remake, with Rogue and the Ezio trilogy held in reserve.
