Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has confirmed that multipleAssassin’s Creedremakes are in the works at Ubisoft and that “players should be excited” about them.
In a newinterview on Ubisoft’s websitediscussing the future of the behemoth stealth-action series, Guillemot confirmed that “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; there are worlds in some of our olderAssassin’s Creedgames that are still extremely rich.”
The key bit there is ‘some remakes’ confirming that not one - like the heavily rumoredAssassin’s Creed Black Flagremake that was reported last summer- but multiple remakes are in progress or on the docket at Ubisoft.
As well asBlack Flag, we would bet that the first game in the series is one of those in question. It has never had any re-releases and has aged the least gracefully as a result; getting that one on to modern systems would be a joy and ensure that the whole saga can be experienced on modern hardware.
Could this also be a move to get all the series modernized and ready for theAssassin’s Creed Infinityplatform? Getting allAssassin’s Creedgamesgathered in one tidy ‘location’ and being able to access them all is certainly one way to organize the sprawling series.
In addition to the remake news, Guillemot also confirmed that Ubisoft is looking to continue the variety ofAssassin’s Creedexperiences the developers create. Compare the sprawling open-worldAssassin’s Creed Valhallaand the more focused, leanerAssassin’s Creed Mirage, for example. He said that “there will be plenty of experience variety. The goal is to haveAssassin’s Creedgames come out more regularly, but not for it to be the same experience every year.”
He closes out by offering a nugget of new info on the release cadence and a tidbit on another upcoming game in the series: “There are a lot of good things to come, includingAssassin’s Creed Hexe, which we’ve announced, which is going to be a very different game fromAssassin’s Creed Shadows. We’re going to surprise people, I think.”
