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 past games, updating them with modern technology and enhancing their rich worlds. Fans can anticipate a revitalization of classic Assassin's Creed entries.
Beyond remakes, Guillemot promised a diverse range of experiences in the coming years. The goal, he stated, is to release Assassin's Creed games more frequently, but with each installment offering a unique gameplay experience, avoiding repetition.
Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (targeting a 2026 release) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (releasing November 15, 2024), along with the mobile game Assassin's Creed Jade (expected in 2025), exemplify this commitment to diverse gameplay. Hexe is set in 16th-century Europe, while Shadows takes place in feudal Japan.
Ubisoft's history includes successful remasters, such as Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered (2018). While rumors of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake circulated last year, official confirmation is still pending.
Ubisoft Embraces Generative AI
Guillemot also addressed technological advancements in game development. He highlighted Assassin's Creed Shadows' dynamic weather system, impacting gameplay and visuals. He further underscored the potential of generative AI to enhance game worlds, creating more intelligent and interactive NPCs and environments. This technology could significantly impact the realism and dynamism of future open worlds.
