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.

I think everyone's had enough of remakes now
We heard everyone is buying remakes this generation, so we're going to just keep remaking everything to sell the same game again and again.
This generation built on cross generation and remaster/remake games.
Thankfully the Xbox showcase gave us some new generation AAA new games.
And the odd third party ones.
Is this the same Ubisoft that, after Syndicate, scaled back the releases due to them becoming over-saturated? How history often repeats itself...
More regularly???!!
They already come out far too often.
Lol, let's have two AC games per year instead of one.
Sadly, if they remake the Mehzio games or Black Flag, it's gonna sell.
Correction: "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that can still make us extremely rich"
On the one hand, I think its great that a Franchise is playable for everyone on 'newer' hardware, it's perhaps disappointing for those wanting 'new' games.
As far as I am concerned, I am not likely to re-buy games (anymore) that I already own and/or played unless they have good reason to replay. One such reason could be to make the game the way they 'envisioned' but were unable to, had to compromise on that vision because the hardware was limiting - and I don't just mean limited the 'resolution' or the 'performance'.
I'd rather see a Reboot or a complete remake than a remaster. Some remasters seem nothing more than a 'port' with the same assets, character models etc - like playing in BC with Frame Rate and/or Resolutions boosts instead of adding any 'meaningful' changes (like improved Character Models, textures, assets etc built from Scratch, Improved Lighting, maybe RT GI) or even returning things that were 'cut' due to Hardware limitations too..
I'm on board with this idea. Let the main titles cook a little longer and supplement that with the smaller new titles and remakes of the classics. It wont be that different than their current approach but it will allow them to take a little longer on the new titles if a remake is also coming every couple years.
It seems to be nintendos approach with zelda and gamefreaks approach to pokemon. They make sure they have something releasing almost every single year and the consumers dont realize the main games are taking longer.
I think xbox/bethesda could do something similar with elder scrolls and fallout where using a remake here and there from a different studio would make it easier to swallow the 6 years or whatever between new titles from bethesda game studios.
Isn't AC1 the only one that's not on everything? Why can't we get remakes of games that are actually hard to find or not available digitally?
I’m all in for black flag remaster
I reckon AC Hexe will be set in modern times a la the animus.
Instead of remakes of Assassin’s Creed games, I’d prefer to see a remake of the Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy, with maybe an improved version of Prince of Persia 3D thrown in as a bonus. Release them all as a compilation in the same way as Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic etc. I would happily pay for those.
I remember hearing about the remake of IV time ago. That is the next one I need to play in my Assassin's Creed playthrough. I have the Xbox One version, but I'm willing to wait for the remake because it's one of the two games that still is 30fps on Xbox.
