Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot recently announced that the company is working on multiple remakes of the beloved Assassin’s Creed series. Guillemot expressed his excitement for these upcoming projects, stating that they will allow the company to revisit and modernize some of the classic games created in the past.
Guillemot’s revelation about ‘some remakes’ implies that Ubisoft is not only focusing on one remake, like the rumored Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake, but that there are multiple remakes in the pipeline. This news has sparked anticipation among fans who are eager to see their favorite games revamped for modern platforms.
It is speculated that the first game in the series could be among those receiving a remake. With no re-releases to date, this particular title has not aged as gracefully as others in the franchise. Bringing it to modern systems would not only breathe new life into the game but also ensure that the entire saga can be enjoyed on current hardware.
Perhaps this initiative is part of Ubisoft’s strategy to prepare all Assassin’s Creed titles for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Infinity platform. Consolidating all the games in one accessible location would streamline the user experience and make it easier for players to dive into the expansive world of Assassin’s Creed.
In addition to the remake news, Guillemot mentioned that Ubisoft is committed to offering diverse Assassin’s Creed experiences to players. From the vast open-world adventure of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to the more focused gameplay of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the company aims to deliver a range of experiences. Guillemot assured fans that while they can expect more regular releases, each installment will offer a unique gameplay experience.
Guillemot also teased fans with information about the release schedule and an upcoming game in the series. He hinted at Assassin’s Creed Hexe, which promises to be a distinct departure from Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Fans can look forward to being surprised by the innovative direction the series will take.
