Guillemot's interview revealed plans for several Assassin's Creed remakes, though specific titles remain unannounced. He emphasized the opportunity to revisit older games and enhance them with modern technology, stating, "The worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games are still incredibly rich." Fans can anticipate a significant upgrade to classic entries.
Beyond remakes, Guillemot promised a diverse range of experiences in the years to come. He clarified, "We aim for more frequent Assassin's Creed releases, but each installment will offer a unique gameplay experience."
Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (targeting a 2026 release) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (releasing November 15, 2024) exemplify this commitment to fresh experiences. Hexe is set in 16th-century Europe, while Shadows takes players to feudal Japan. Additionally, Assassin's Creed Jade is slated for a 2025 mobile release.
Ubisoft's history includes successful remasters such as Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered (2018). While rumors of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake have circulated, official confirmation is pending.
Ubisoft Embraces Generative AI
Guillemot also discussed technological advancements in game development. He highlighted Assassin's Creed Shadows' dynamic weather system, impacting gameplay and visuals. He further emphasized the potential of generative AI to enhance game worlds.
Guillemot stated, "Technological progress offers endless possibilities." He cited Shadows' weather system as an example, where previously swimmable ponds might freeze, altering gameplay. He added, "We're also witnessing significant visual improvements. I strongly believe in generative AI's potential to create more intelligent and interactive NPCs, potentially extending to animals and the environment itself. We can significantly enhance the dynamism of these open worlds."
