UbisoftCEO Yves Guillemot says the publisher is looking to release new Assassin’s Creed games “more regularly” in the future, and remakes of older games will be among them.

Ubisoft has famously struggled with remakes. The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake (which is no longer officially dubbed a remake) has been floating in limbo for four years and still doesn’t seem to beanywhere near completion. The Splinter Cell remake, meanwhile, has seen even less daylight. It wasannounced in 2021and, well, that’s it: Hopes that anupdate of some sortwould be made during the Ubisoft Forward showcase earlier this month were dashed when absolutely no mention of it was made.

Still, it seems like Ubisoft isn’t giving up on going back to its deep well of older games. “Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we’ve created in the past and modernize them,” Guillemot said when asked about the future of the Assassin’s Creed series in apromotional Ubisoft interview. “There are worlds in some of our older Assassin’s Creed games that are still extremely rich.”

Guillemot gave no hint as to which Assassin’s Creed games are up for a remake, but Black Flag seems an obvious choice—it’s thebig fan favorite. The first Assassin’s Creed would also make sense, and an update of the Ezio trilogy (Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations) would probably do well too.

An even bigger gap of three years led intoAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, which was brilliant, and then one year later we gotMirage, which was good but not up to the level of its recent predecessors. So it’s not exactly a hard-and-fast rule, but you can definitely see a pattern: More time, generally speaking, means a better game.

Guillemot said in the interview that Ubisoft’s goal “is to have Assassin’s Creed games come out more regularly, but not for it to be the same experience every year.” He cited Assassin’s Creed Hexe, a supernatural-themed game that we otherwise know nothing about, as one example that’s “going to be a very different game fromAssassin’s Creed Shadows.”

Kotakureported in June 2023 that a remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag is already in the works, and while that remains unconfirmed, Guillemot’s words do help float the hope it’s actually happening. First, though, is Assassin’s Creed Shadows: The next mainline game in the series is set to launch on November 15.
