Current Development Status
Ubisoft has officially clarified the trajectory of the Assassin's Creed franchise, confirming that the studio is not currently working on any remakes of legacy titles. This announcement effectively ends speculation regarding potential modernizations of fan-favorite entries like Assassin's Creed II. Instead, the publisher is focusing its resources on two distinct upcoming projects that aim to expand the series in different directions.
The primary focus remains on Codename Hexe which is confirmed as the next major mainline entry in the series. According to the latest official patch notes fans should not expect further information or a release until at least 2027. Alongside this single-player experience, Ubisoft is actively developing Codename Invictus a project explicitly designed to emphasize multiplayer gameplay.
Updates for Existing Titles
While the future of the franchise is centered on these new projects, Ubisoft is also providing support for existing entries. Players of Assassin's Creed Valhalla can look forward to a New Game Plus update, while Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is slated for a final content drop. This update will introduce several requested features to improve replayability and combat variety.
- Codename Hexe: Confirmed as the next major mainline title.
- Codename Invictus: Currently in development as a multiplayer-centric project.
- Black Flag Resynced: Receiving a final update with New Game Plus, Nightmare difficulty, and new takedown animations.
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Scheduled to receive a New Game Plus title update.
- Remake Status: No Assassin's Creed remakes are currently in active development.
The following table summarizes the key status updates for the franchise:
| Project | Status | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Codename Hexe | In Development | Mainline Title |
| Codename Invictus | In Development | Multiplayer |
| Black Flag Resynced | Update Pending | NG+, Nightmare Mode |
| Assassin's Creed Valhalla | Update Pending | New Game Plus |
For players, this roadmap indicates a shift toward new experiences rather than revisiting the past. Those waiting for Codename Hexe should prepare for a wait until 2027 or later, while those still playing current titles will see meaningful additions to their existing libraries soon.
