Ubisoft says no more Assassin's Creed remakes are in development
The statement lands months after Black Flag Resynced sold over 3.5 million copies. Ubisoft says its teams are now on new settings and stories instead.
Ubisoft has no other Assassin's Creed remakes in active development, the publisher said in a statement on its website on October 29, 2026. "Our teams are already focused on the next chapter of Assassin's Creed titles, including projects you haven't heard about yet, featuring new settings and stories," Ubisoft wrote, as reported by Eurogamer.
Why it is a surprise
Black Flag Resynced, the remake of 2013's pirate favourite, launched on July 9 and sold more than 3.5 million copies, beating Ubisoft's annual expectations within its first 14 days. Back in 2024, chief executive Yves Guillemot spoke about remakes, plural, being in the works across Ubisoft studios, saying older Assassin's Creed worlds were still rich enough to modernise. Plenty of fans assumed an earlier entry would be next.
Ubisoft did not rule it out entirely. "Like many of you, we love the idea of revisiting our classic titles, and we'll keep exploring opportunities to bring older titles back," the statement continued, signing off with the Brotherhood's creed: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted."
What is actually coming
Two known projects fill the gap. Codename Invictus is a PvP multiplayer Assassin's Creed led by For Honor veterans at Ubisoft Montreal, still unseen. Assassin's Creed Hexe, also at Ubisoft Montreal, was announced in 2022 as a darker, narrative-driven game, apparently set in 16th-century Europe. Franchise head Jean Guesdon said this year the team needs more time, and an August report put Hexe at least a year out. The most recent big mainline release remains Assassin's Creed Shadows.
The SEA angle
The news has a local edge. Ubisoft Singapore, the studio behind Skull and Bones and part of the Black Flag Resynced effort, is losing 70 positions under cuts announced in October as Ubisoft restructures, with the series now overseen by Vantage Studios, the subsidiary Ubisoft set up with Tencent. With no remake queued, the near-term pipeline for remastered classics is empty.
What happens next
Expect Ubisoft to keep the door open on remakes while it pushes new settings. Black Flag Resynced continues to get updates, including New Game Plus and a Nightmare difficulty in its final major patch.
