Ubisoft Rules Out More Assassin's Creed Remakes, Teases Hexe for 2027

For a few hopeful weeks, the question hanging over the Assassin's Creed community was simple: which classic gets the remake treatment next? Ubisoft has now answered it. Ubisoft said it has no other Assassin's Creed remake actively in development, and outlets including Kotaku and VGChartz reported that Ubisoft confirmed it currently has no plans to remake any more Assassin's Creed games. The Fall 2026 Update was published on 29 October and fronted by Head of Content Jean Guesdon.

What Ubisoft actually offered was a roadmap: Assassin's Creed Hexe in 2027, a reworked Invictus, a long-requested Valhalla feature, and the promise of "projects you haven't heard about yet."

What Ubisoft Actually Said About Remakes

The Fall 2026 Update arrived as a written post accompanied by an official video featuring Guesdon, and the remake question was one Ubisoft largely invited. Guesdon had previously referred to "remakes" in the plural, which set expectations running well past Black Flag Resynced - speculation about further remakes.

The precise claim in the update is that no other Assassin's Creed remake is currently in active development. Outlets including Kotaku and VGChartz reported that Ubisoft confirmed it currently has no plans to remake any more Assassin's Creed games.

Reaction split along predictable lines: straightforward reporting in some corners, open disappointment in others that more classics will not receive the remake treatment. That frustration is understandable. Fans hoping for another classic to get the remake treatment will have to wait.

Worth remembering: Black Flag Resynced is not being abandoned. Support continues, with Title Update 1.0.8 and a Pirate Challenge event arriving in late October, and one outlet, TwistedVoxel, described the update as Black Flag Resynced's "final major update," while Ubisoft's own news page lists Title Update 1.0.8 and a Pirate Challenge event in late October.

Assassin's Creed Hexe: The Next Substantial Update Lands in 2027

The headline item for the future is Hexe. Ubisoft confirmed the next substantial update on the project will arrive in 2027, which also happens to be the series' 20th anniversary year.

Hexe has long been positioned as the darker, horror-leaning mainline entry, a tonal departure for a franchise built on historical tourism and rooftop stabbing.

Calibrate expectations accordingly. This is an update on the game, not a release announcement. No source provides a release date or window for Hexe, and Ubisoft did not supply one here. A 2027 information drop is the commitment; anything beyond that is inference.

Codename Invictus Is Evolving After Player Tests

The standalone multiplayer project remains in development, but it is not standing still. Invictus is evolving after its first round of player tests, with adjustments being made in response to that feedback.

That is the full extent of what Ubisoft has shared. There is no named release date, and nothing in the update suggests a delay or a reboot, despite what some coverage has implied.

For a project that has been one of the franchise's quieter undertakings, confirmation of active testing is itself a meaningful signal.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla Finally Gets New Game+ on 5 November

Buried in the roadmap is the item many players will care about most. Assassin's Creed Valhalla adds a New Game+ mode on 5 November 2026.

Sources described New Game+ as a welcome addition to Valhalla. That wait ends next week.

Ubisoft paired the announcement with a stated push for closer community engagement, a theme running through the entire update. The post also touched on Ubisoft's New Assassin's Creed Leadership and the franchise's upcoming Netflix series - both mentioned briefly, with details still thin.

"Projects You Haven't Heard About Yet" and the Road to 20

Ubisoft framed its focus around three buckets: Hexe, Invictus, and "projects you haven't heard about yet." That last phrase is doing considerable work. It is a promise of unannounced titles without a single detail attached, and it is the clearest sign that the franchise's future is built on new projects rather than refurbished ones.

The timing is deliberate. Assassin's Creed turns 20 next year, and anniversaries tend to invite reflection. Ubisoft's chosen reflection is forward-looking.

There is also a pattern worth noting. Ubisoft used a Guesdon-fronted address to set out the franchise's direction before speculation set the terms of the conversation. After the remake chatter that followed Black Flag Resynced, that control looks deliberate.

The Trade-Off, and the Dates to Watch

The bargain is clear: players hoping for another classic adventure to get the remake treatment will have to wait. In exchange, there are concrete dates on the calendar. Assassin's Creed Valhalla's New Game+ arrives on 5 November 2026, and Hexe's next substantial update lands in 2027. Invictus continues its iteration in the background, and somewhere inside Ubisoft, those unheard-of projects are taking shape.

For anyone still attached to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Release Times and the remake era it represented, the question now shifts to what comes next. Which classic would you still want remade? Say it loudly. Just do not expect Ubisoft to have promised one.
