Ubisoft: no Assassin's Creed remakes in development, Hexe on track for 2027

Hot off the wire: Ubisoft published its Assassin’s Creed fall 2026 update on Thursday, October 29, and the developers promised news on recent releases and what comes next.¹ The Ubisoft post itself is a teaser. The details come from a summary of the blog posted on X, and I’m treating that summary as a lead, not gospel.

Here’s what that summary says, and it’s a rumor until the full blog backs every line.²

No remakes. The summary says there are no Assassin’s Creed remakes in development at Ubisoft, and that talk of an AC1 remake is false.² That’s a flat denial, and I like a flat denial. We covered the same claim earlier, and it holds up so far: Ubisoft says no Assassin’s Creed remakes in development, Hexe update set for 2027.

Hexe. Assassin’s Creed Hexe is still in development and moving along steadily, according to the summary. More is due to be revealed in 2027.² No date, no platform, no price. Until Ubisoft commits to something in writing, 2027 is a calendar year, not a launch date.

Codename Invictus. The multiplayer entry is described as deep in development.² Playtests have been run, and one big piece of feedback was that the game needs to reflect the series’ core pillars more. The team is working on that now.² Take that for what it is. A studio admitting its playtesters wanted more Assassin’s Creed in its Assassin’s Creed game is a candid note, if it holds up.

Valhalla. The summary says AC Valhalla is getting a new update that adds New Game+, new gear, an outfit, resources and more.² The exact contents are unconfirmed until the blog is read in full.

The update lands in the same week Ubisoft was busy on the same franchise elsewhere. The studio also pushed a final major content update for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced on October 26, with New Game+, Nightmare difficulty and new content.¹ So New Game+ is having a moment across the series.

A caution on sourcing. Ubisoft’s news page confirms the update exists and what it broadly covers: community commitment, recent releases and hints of what’s to come.¹ The specific claims above come from one X post summarizing the blog.² That’s the whole case file for now. I’d treat the list as likely accurate, since it matches the earlier remake denial, but I want the blog text before calling every line settled.

Our read: The pattern is a studio clearing the board. Kill the remake rumor, keep Hexe on a slow burn toward 2027, admit Invictus needs work, and toss Valhalla players a New Game+ bone. Nothing here is a release date, and that’s the part to watch. Show me a date in writing and I’ll believe it. Until then, the case stays open.
