No More Assassin's Creed Remakes for Now: Ubisoft's Fall Update on Hexe, Invictus and Valhalla New Game+

If you were hoping Black Flag Resynced was the first in a long line of Assassin's Creed remakes, Ubisoft has some news for you: there isn't another one on the way – at least not yet. In its Assassin's Creed Fall 2026 Update, published on October 29, head of content Jean Guesdon confirmed that no other remake is in active development, while also checking in on the two big unreleased projects, codenames Hexe and Invictus, and dating New Game+ for Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

TL;DR

• No other Assassin's Creed remake is currently in development, but Ubisoft says it hasn't ruled out bringing older games back later.
• Black Flag Resynced has received its final major update, adding New Game+ and a Nightmare difficulty.
• Assassin's Creed Valhalla gets New Game+ on November 5.
• Codename Invictus, the multiplayer project, is being reworked after player tests.
• Codename Hexe is "making steady progress," with the next major update promised in 2027.
• The Netflix live-action series is close to finishing production in Rome, and the franchise turns 20 next year.

Why no more remakes?

On paper, the decision is a little surprising. Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the rebuilt version of the 2013 pirate adventure, launched on July 9 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC and was a clear hit. Ubisoft announced 2 million copies sold on day one and more than 3 million in its first week, and its first-quarter financial report put the total at 3.5 million copies within 14 days – a number the company had originally expected to reach over a full year.

Guesdon's post explains that Resynced was the franchise's first-ever remake and a learning experience. Rebuilding old systems from the ground up, adding new features and balancing nostalgia with modern design was, in Ubisoft's words, a massive undertaking. The bottom line is plain: "we currently have no other Assassin's Creed remake actively in development."

That is not a permanent "no," though. Ubisoft says the door stays open and that it will keep looking at ways to bring older titles back. For now, the teams are focused on the next wave of games, including projects that haven't been announced yet with new settings and stories.

Black Flag Resynced is done with major content

Alongside the remake news, Ubisoft confirmed that Black Flag Resynced received its final major update earlier in the week. It adds New Game+, a tougher Nightmare mode, new rewards, finishing moves, trinkets and extra customization options. According to the post, this wraps up Ubisoft's current plans for additional major content for the game, so what's in the game now is essentially the complete package.

Valhalla New Game+ arrives November 5

Six years after launch, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is getting one of its most requested features. New Game+ arrives on November 5, and Ubisoft says the game has now passed 40 million players. According to MP1st's rundown of the announcement, the update also brings new runes, achievements, a stash system, a new mithril resource and an outfit inspired by Naoe from Assassin's Creed Shadows. Ubisoft says full details will come in patch notes, and that it will share news about updates for current-gen consoles in the coming days.

Invictus changes direction

Codename Invictus is the multiplayer Assassin's Creed project. Ubisoft held a private Insiders session a few months ago, and while players liked the return of PvP multiplayer, the feedback was that they wanted more of what makes Assassin's Creed feel like Assassin's Creed. In response, Ubisoft says Invictus is now evolving in a direction that better reflects those core pillars. It remains in development, and there is still no release window or platform list.

Hexe: steady progress, more in 2027

Codename Hexe, the darker, horror-leaning Assassin's Creed reported to center on witches, got only a brief mention. Ubisoft says development is moving forward steadily but that there is still work ahead, and that the next major update will come in 2027. There's no release date, release window or platform announcement yet, so anyone expecting Hexe in the near future should probably adjust expectations.

New leadership, the Netflix show and the 20th anniversary

The update also introduces a new Assassin's Creed leadership team led by Martin Schelling. Ubisoft didn't share specifics about its plans, but it says the group has spent recent months laying the groundwork for what's next, with priorities including staying true to the series' identity, innovating, offering varied experiences and raising quality and consistency. A community survey is live now, and Ubisoft plans private workshops with players.

On the TV side, production on Netflix's live-action Assassin's Creed series is nearly wrapped in Rome, and composer Hannah Peel has joined the project. There is still no release date.

Finally, the franchise turns 20 in 2027. Ubisoft is promising a year of reveals, updates, rewards and community moments to mark the occasion – which, given how much is still under wraps, could be where Hexe and the unannounced projects finally step into the light.

Why it matters

Black Flag Resynced proved there is a huge audience for modernized versions of older Assassin's Creed games, so Ubisoft choosing not to start another one right away tells us where its resources are going: new games. With Invictus being reworked, Hexe pushed to a 2027 update and a new leadership team just settling in, the next 12 months look like a period of rebuilding rather than big launches. For players, the near-term highlights are Valhalla's New Game+ on November 5 and Resynced's finished feature set – and the 20th anniversary is the moment to watch for real announcements.
