A Regular Stream of Diverse AC Experiences

Guillemot's interview revealed plans for several Assassin's Creed remakes, though specific titles remain undisclosed. He emphasized the opportunity to revisit and modernize older games, stating, "Players can look forward to several remakes, allowing us to revisit past titles and modernize them; some older Assassin's Creed worlds are incredibly rich." This suggests a revitalization of classic entries.

Beyond remakes, Guillemot promised a diverse range of experiences in the coming years. He stated the intention to release Assassin's Creed games more frequently, but with varied gameplay each year, avoiding repetition.

Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (targeting a 2026 release) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (releasing November 15, 2024), along with the mobile game Assassin's Creed Jade (expected in 2025), promise unique gameplay experiences. Hexe is set in 16th-century Europe, while Shadows takes place in feudal Japan.

Ubisoft's history includes previous remasters, such as Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered (2018). Rumors of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake have circulated, though remain unconfirmed.

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 expressed strong belief in the potential of generative AI to enhance game worlds.

Guillemot noted the rapid pace of technological evolution and its potential for limitless possibilities. He cited Assassin's Creed Shadows' weather system as an example, where previously swimmable ponds could freeze, altering gameplay. He also discussed the potential of generative AI to create more intelligent and interactive NPCs and animals, leading to more dynamic open worlds.
