Assassin’s Creed, the 2007 action-adventure game that ultimately spawned one of Ubisoft’s greatest and successful franchises to date, is probably returning as part of a new remake project, according to Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO, who, as part of a recent interview, told players that they should be excited about “some remakes” for a few of the older games in the franchise. Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the latest installment of the series, remains on track for release on November 15 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Ubisoft+, Amazon Luna, iPad, Macs with Apple Silicon via the Mac App Store, as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store.
Guillemot said:
- “…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 older Assassin’s Creed games that are still extremely rich.”
- “The goal is to have Assassin’s Creed games come out more regularly, but not for it to be the same experience every year.”
- “There are a lot of good things to come, including Assassin’s Creed Hexe, which we’ve announced, which is going to be a very different game from Assassin’s Creed Shadows. We’re going to surprise people, I think.”
