Ubisoft said on October 29, 2026, that it has no other Assassin’s Creed remake actively in development, making the statement in an Assassin’s Creed: Fall 2026 Update post that also delivered news on Codename Invictus, Codename Hexe, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

The post is presented by Jean Guesdon, Head of Content, and follows Ubisoft’s previous Assassin’s Creed brand update in March 2026.

Earlier in 2026, Ubisoft announced a new Assassin’s Creed Leadership Team made up of longtime franchise veterans and led by Martin Schelling, tasked with shaping the future of Assassin’s Creed and ensuring a cohesive vision for the years ahead. Ubisoft said the team has spent the past few months refining the long-term vision and defining key priorities, and it restated the principles guiding that work: staying true to what makes Assassin’s Creed unique, continuing to innovate, delivering diverse experiences, and elevating the quality and consistency of its games.

Ubisoft said thousands of players responded to its March Community Survey, with three topics standing out: concerns about preserving the unique identity and pillars of Assassin’s Creed, a desire for a more coherent narrative that respects and expands the franchise’s lore, and the need for more regular dialogue between the company and the community. The publisher said it is planning several closed-door workshops in 2026 with dedicated community members and content creators to bring feedback closer to the development teams, and that its next Community Survey has gone live.

No Remake Beyond Black Flag Resynced

Addressing what it described as frequent community questions about remakes, Ubisoft was direct: “We currently have no other Assassin’s Creed remake actively in development.” The publisher said its teams are focused on the next chapter of Assassin’s Creed titles, including projects players have not heard about yet, featuring new settings and stories.

Ubisoft described Black Flag Resynced as its first-ever franchise remake and said the project taught the company a tremendous amount. Rebuilding old systems from scratch, adding new elements that fit the experience, and balancing legacy with innovation was a massive undertaking, the company said, adding that it is proud of what the Resynced team delivered and how well the game was received.

The publisher said the position should not be mistaken for a closed door. Ubisoft said it loves the idea of revisiting its classic titles and will keep exploring opportunities to bring older titles back.

Codename Invictus and Codename Hexe

On Codename Invictus, its multiplayer project, Ubisoft said hundreds of players joined a first private Insiders Session a few months ago, played an early prototype, and shared feedback directly with the development team.

Ubisoft characterized the response to the return of PVP multiplayer as very positive, saying Insiders particularly enjoyed the parkour and verticality of the maps, the dynamic teamplay, and the chance to play as various Assassin’s Creed characters, each with their own skills and playstyles.

One piece of feedback came through clearly, the company said: players saw great potential in the foundations but wanted more of the pillars that define Assassin’s Creed. Ubisoft said the team spent the past months acting on that feedback, and Invictus is now evolving in a direction that better reflects those pillars while staying true to its multiplayer ambitions. The company cautioned that Invictus is still in development and that information found online may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate, and said it will keep testing new iterations.

On Codename Hexe, which Ubisoft described as a darker Assassin’s Creed experience, the company said it is making steady progress, though there is still work ahead. Ubisoft said it will share the next major update on the project in 2027.

Black Flag Resynced and Valhalla

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced launched on July 9, 2026, and Ubisoft Singapore has continued improving it with quality-of-life updates and new content in the months since. The game’s final major update has now arrived, bringing New Game+, Nightmare Mode, new rewards, finishers, trinkets, and additional customization options. Among the new rewards are Blackbeard’s outfit, Edward’s London attire, and fresh customization options for the Jackdaw and its crew. Ubisoft said the update marks the end of its current plans for additional major content for the game, with quality-of-life updates to follow over the coming months.

Ubisoft said Assassin’s Creed Valhalla recently surpassed 40 million players and, to celebrate, it is bringing one of the community’s most requested features, New Game+, on November 5, 2026. The mode lets players start fresh while carrying over much of their progression, with dedicated NG+ scaling, and the update introduces an optional progression mode in which Gear, Runes, and Masteries all contribute to Eivor’s overall Power.

The Valhalla update also adds new runes, achievements, a stash system, and new rewards, including a Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe’s look in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Mithril, a new resource, can be used to upgrade Divine Gear and strengthen runes, and Divine Gear quality is being added for all items. Ubisoft said it will share full details in the upcoming patch notes, along with news on current-generation console updates.

Beyond its games, Ubisoft said production of Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed series is nearing completion in Rome, Italy, where Guesdon visited the set, consulted on the scripts, and met the showrunners. Composer Hannah Peel has joined the project and will compose the series’ score, the company said, adding that no release date has been communicated.

Ubisoft also said Assassin’s Creed turns 20 in 2027 and that it is preparing a year of reveals, updates, rewards, and community moments focused on players. The celebrations will kick off in 2027, the company said.
