A Regular Stream of Diverse AC Experiences

Guillemot's interview revealed plans for several Assassin's Creed remakes, although specific titles remain undisclosed. He emphasized the opportunity to revisit and modernize older games, highlighting the enduring richness of their worlds. Fans can anticipate revitalized classic entries.

Beyond remakes, Guillemot promised a diverse range of experiences in the coming years. While aiming for more frequent releases, he stressed the importance of avoiding repetitive yearly experiences.

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. Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile title, is also anticipated in 2025.

Ubisoft's history of remastering classic titles includes 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.

Ubisoft Embraces Generative AI

Guillemot also discussed technological advancements in game development. He showcased Assassin's Creed Shadows' dynamic weather system, which impacts gameplay and enhances visuals. He further expressed strong belief in generative AI's potential to enrich game worlds.

Guillemot noted the rapid pace of technological evolution and the limitless possibilities it presents. He cited Assassin's Creed Shadows' weather system as an example, where previously swimmable ponds might freeze, directly impacting gameplay. He also highlighted the potential of generative AI to create more intelligent and interactive NPCs and even animals, leading to more dynamic open worlds.
