Ubisoft has answered the question Assassin's Creed fans have been asking since Black Flag Resynced set sail: is another remake coming? For now, no. In its Fall 2026 update for the series, posted on Ubisoft News on October 29, the publisher says plainly that "we currently have no other Assassin's Creed remake actively in development," and that its teams are "already focused on the next chapter of Assassin's Creed titles, including projects you haven't heard about yet, featuring new settings and stories."
That's a clear line, but not a permanent one. In the same post Ubisoft says it loves "the idea of revisiting our classic titles" and will "keep exploring opportunities to bring older titles back." It signs that section off with the series motto, so read it as a door left ajar rather than slammed.
Why the question came up at all
Black Flag Resynced was Ubisoft's first remake in the franchise, and by its own account it taught the company "a tremendous amount," from rebuilding old systems from scratch to balancing legacy with innovation. It also sold. Push Square notes the remake had passed three million copies by mid-July 2026, and says rumours had suggested Ubisoft was weighing further remakes based on how it sold.
Resynced itself is winding down. Ubisoft's update says the game's final major update, with New Game+, Nightmare Mode and new rewards, "marks the end of our current plans for additional major content," with quality-of-life patches to follow over the coming months.
What Ubisoft is working on instead
The rest of the post is a roll call of projects, light on dates:
- Codename Hexe. Ubisoft calls it "this darker Assassin's Creed experience," says it is making "steady progress" with "still work ahead," and promises its next major update in 2027. Push Square describes Hexe as the series entry set during the witch trials.
- Codename Invictus. The multiplayer project held its first private Insiders Session a few months ago, where hundreds of players tried an early prototype. Ubisoft says players wanted "more of the pillars that define Assassin's Creed," and that Invictus is now "evolving" in response. It also warns that information about Invictus floating around online "may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate."
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla New Game+. Valhalla has passed 40 million players, according to Ubisoft, and gets a New Game+ mode on November 5, with dedicated scaling, an optional power-based progression mode, new runes, a stash system and a Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe's look from Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Outside the games, Ubisoft says production of Netflix's live-action Assassin's Creed series is "nearing completion in Rome," with composer Hannah Peel scoring it and no release date yet. And the series turns 20 next year: Ubisoft promises "a year of reveals, updates, rewards, and community moments" starting in 2027, and revealed the anniversary logo in the post.
Listening, on the record
A good chunk of the update is about the community rather than the games. Ubisoft says a survey it ran in March surfaced three concerns: protecting the series' identity, a more coherent story that respects the lore, and more regular contact with players. It has opened a new community survey and plans closed-door workshops with community members and content creators. The post ends with a caveat worth keeping in mind: "We won't always be able to reveal every detail or answer every question, and building great games takes time."
Mason's take: Saying no to more remakes right after one sold this well is a choice, and I think it's the right one for now. A remake pipeline is the easy road for any publisher sitting on a beloved back catalogue, and Ubisoft's own survey says fans are worried about the series losing its identity. Spending the next stretch on new settings, Hexe and the 20th anniversary is the more interesting bet. The open door matters too, though: this reads to me like "not yet," not "never," and I wouldn't be shocked to see a classic return at some point during the anniversary year.
