Ubisoft Confirms Assassin's Creed Remakes -------------------------------------------------A Steady Stream of Diverse AC Experiences
Guillemot's interview revealed plans for a diverse range of Assassin's Creed games in the coming years, aiming for more frequent releases without sacrificing unique gameplay experiences. He stated, "We're excited to bring players some remakes, allowing us to revisit and modernize past titles. Some of our older Assassin's Creed worlds are incredibly rich and deserve a fresh look."
Beyond the remakes, Guillemot promised a variety of gaming experiences. He explained, "We're aiming for more regular Assassin's Creed releases, but each title will offer a distinct and unique experience."
Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (set in 16th-century Europe, targeting a 2026 release) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (set in feudal Japan, releasing November 15, 2024) exemplify this commitment to fresh gameplay. Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile title, is slated for a 2025 launch.
Ubisoft's history includes successful remasters like Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered (2018). While rumors of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake circulated last year, official confirmation is still pending.
Generative AI: The Future of Assassin's Creed
Guillemot also discussed the impact of evolving game development technology. He highlighted the dynamic weather system in Assassin's Creed Shadows, showcasing how environmental changes affect gameplay. He also emphasized the potential of generative AI to create more intelligent and interactive NPCs and environments.
Guillemot stated, "Technological advancements offer limitless possibilities. In Assassin's Creed Shadows, for example, the weather system directly impacts gameplay – previously swimmable ponds may freeze over."
He continued, "Visually, we're seeing significant improvements. I strongly believe in generative AI's potential to enhance NPC intelligence and interactivity, potentially extending to animals and the environment itself. We can significantly enhance the dynamism of our open worlds."
