Ubisoft has shared a major update on the future of Assassin’s Creed, covering upcoming games, a welcome addition to Valhalla, and its plans for remakes. Hexe and Invictus are still moving forward, while players hoping for another classic adventure to get the remake treatment will have to wait.
The Fall 2026 update also outlines what the franchise’s new leadership wants to prioritize, with a renewed focus on quality, consistency, and the identity that made Assassin’s Creed so popular.
In brief:
- No additional Assassin’s Creed remakes are actively in development, although Ubisoft remains open to revisiting older games.
- Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe is progressing steadily, with its next major update coming in 2027.
- Codename Invictus is being refined following playtest feedback about capturing more of Assassin’s Creed’s core identity.
- Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gets New Game+ on November 5, alongside new rewards and progression features.
Ubisoft Clarifies Assassin’s Creed Remake Plans
For anyone hoping to see Altaïr’s adventure rebuilt, this is the disappointing part. Ubisoft says it currently has no other Assassin’s Creed remake actively in development.
So, that statement pushes back against speculation about an Assassin’s Creed 1 remake being in production. However, Ubisoft has left room for future projects, saying, “That door remains open.”
More remakes could still happen down the line. For now, the company’s attention is on upcoming Assassin’s Creed games. Revisiting more of the older entries remains an appealing prospect, but fans will need a concrete announcement before getting their hopes up.
Assassin’s Creed Hexe Will Get Its Next Major Update in 2027
Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe remains in development, and Ubisoft says progress is steady. The team is continuing work on the project’s darker direction, with its next major update planned for 2027.
Obviously, that gives fans a timeframe for more information. A release date remains unannounced in this update.
Hexe is still one of the most intriguing projects in the lineup. Its darker premise leaves plenty of room for a memorable Assassin’s Creed story, though a closer look at the game will help show how that vision translates into gameplay.
Assassin’s Creed Invictus Changes Following PvP Playtests
Ubisoft also shared progress on Codename Invictus, its upcoming multiplayer project. According to the company, playtest reactions to the return of PvP were very positive.
The feedback also highlighted a clear request: players wanted the experience to reflect more of Assassin’s Creed’s defining elements. Ubisoft says the team has been working on that feedback.
Bringing back competitive multiplayer is exciting, and giving it a recognizable Assassin’s Creed identity could make the return much more appealing to longtime fans.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla New Game+ Arrives November 5
Valhalla players have something much closer to look forward to. New Game+ arrives on November 5, allowing another run through Eivor’s adventure while retaining much of their progression.
The update also includes:
- An optional progression system linking gear, runes, and masteries to Power.
- New runes, achievements, and a stash system.
- A Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe.
- Mithril for improving Divine Gear and runes.
- Divine quality for all gear items.
Assassin’s Creed’s New Leadership Sets Its Priorities
Ubisoft’s new leadership is emphasizing the series’ identity, innovation, varied experiences, and more consistent quality across its games.
There’s reason for cautious optimism here. Hexe continues to take shape, Invictus is responding to player feedback, and Valhalla is getting a feature fans have wanted for years. The next major reveals will give players a better sense of how those priorities are shaping the franchise.
