Ubisoft Pauses New Assassin’s Creed Remakes

The studio says teams will focus on new mainline and multiplayer projects, with a Hexe update scheduled for 2027.

Overview

  • Ubisoft disclosed Thursday in a Fall 2026 franchise update that it currently has no other Assassin’s Creed remake actively in development.
  • Codename Hexe is still in development at Ubisoft Montreal and the company says it will share its next major update in 2027; the title is described as a darker, witch‑hunt–themed single‑player entry.
  • Codename Invictus is being reworked after a private Insiders Session showed players liked its PvP foundations but wanted more of the franchise’s defining pillars, and developers say they are adjusting the game to reflect those elements while keeping its multiplayer focus.
  • Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will get a New Game+ on November 5, 2026 that preserves player progression and adds an optional progression system, new runes, a stash, the Mithril upgrade resource, and a new Divine Gear quality tier.
  • Ubisoft says lessons from rebuilding Black Flag for Resynced — notably the heavy work needed to modernize legacy systems — helped drive the decision to prioritize new projects and franchise cohesion as the Netflix series nears completion in Rome and a 20th‑anniversary program is planned for 2027.
