In a new interview with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, the company has unsurprisingly committed to lots more Assassin's Creed in the future - including 2024's Japan-themed Shadows of course. However, what's perhaps a little more surprising is that the company CEO straight up admitted that the team is working on "some [AC] remakes" in an attempt to "have Assassin's Creed games come out more regularly" down the line.
Now, Guillemot didn't go into more detail on these remakes and which AC games they might be based on, but he did say that the team wants it to "not be the same experience every year" for the franchise. Here's his full answer when talking about the future of Assassin's Creed:
"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.
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."
For a while now, an Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag remake has been rumoured, and we could definitely see this one coming. To be clear, a Black Flag remake hasn't been formally announced yet, but rumours have been strong for this one, and with the team wanting to have a bit more variety in its AC releases, why not go back to this seafaring pirate adventure? It certainly makes sense to us!
Anyway, we'll have to see how the upcoming Assassin's Creed pipeline shapes up, but fans can definitely expect lots more franchise entries to come - both new and old.
