Guillemot's interview revealed plans for a diverse range of Assassin's Creed experiences in the coming years. While not specifying which titles will receive the remake treatment, he stated a commitment to releasing new Assassin's Creed games more regularly, but with varied gameplay experiences to avoid repetition.
Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (targeting a 2026 release) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (releasing November 15, 2024) exemplify this commitment to fresh gameplay. Hexe is set in 16th-century Europe, while Shadows transports players to feudal Japan. Furthermore, Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile title, is expected in 2025.
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 have circulated, official confirmation is still pending.
Embracing Generative AI
Guillemot also discussed the impact of evolving game development technology, citing Assassin's Creed Shadows' dynamic weather system as an example of significant visual and gameplay improvements. He expressed strong belief in the potential of generative AI to enhance game worlds, particularly in creating more intelligent and interactive NPCs and animals, leading to more dynamic open worlds. He noted the rapid technological advancements and the limitless possibilities they offer for future game development.
