Ubisoft
CEO
 Yves
Guillemot
has
confirmed
that
multiple
Assassin’s
Creed
remakes
are
in
the
works,
but
hasn’t
said
exactly
which
games
in
the
long-running
and
massively
popular
series
are
getting
the
remake
treatment.

Speaking
in
an
interview
conducted
by
Ubisoft
itself
,
Yves
was
asked
about
the
future
of
Assassin’s
Creed
and
he
responded
by
saying:
 “Firstly,
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.”

He
stopped
short
of
specifying
which
games
will
be
getting
remade.
In
the
past
we’ve
had
reports
about
numerous
potential
remakes,
but
by
far
the
most
commonly
mentioned
is
the
beloved
Assassin’s
Creed:
Black
Flag.

Kotaku,
for
example,
claimed
in
2023
to
have
sources
which
had
informed
them
that
Black
Flag
was
being
remade
,
although
it
was
still
meant
to
be
a
few
years
out.

Yves
went
on
to
briefly
discuss
the
future
of
the
series.

“Secondly,
to
answer
your
question,
there
will
be
plenty
of
experience
variety.
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.”

To
date,
Ubisoft
has
never
remade
an
Assassin’s
Creed
game,
but
they
have
remastered
quite
a
few
of
them,
such
as
the
Ezio
Collection
and
Assassin’s
Creed
3.
Of
course,
we
can’t
rule
out
that
Yves
is
using
the
word

remake

interchangeably
with

remaster
.

If
we
are
talking
about
a
true
remake
though,
surely
the
original
Assassin’s
Creed
would
be
a
prime
candidate.
The
2007
game
has
managed
to
sell
over
8
million
copies
in
its
life,
but
by
today’s
standards
is
pretty
clumsy
and
clunky.
Remade
with
some
of
the
franchise’s
modern
quality
of
life
features,
it
could
do
really
well
with
the
millions
of
people
who
have
jumped
onto
the
series
in
recent
years
and
want
to
see
where
Assassin’s
Creed
began.
