A Consistent Stream of Diverse AC Experiences

Guillemot's interview revealed plans for a more frequent release schedule for Assassin's Creed games, emphasizing diverse gameplay experiences rather than annual iterations of the same formula. While he didn't disclose specific titles slated for remakes, he did emphasize the rich potential of older Assassin's Creed settings.

Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (set in 16th-century Europe, targeting a 2026 launch) and Assassin's Creed Jade (a mobile game expected in 2025) promise unique gameplay. Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set in feudal Japan, is scheduled for release on November 15, 2024.

Ubisoft's history of remastering classic titles, including Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered (2018), suggests a commitment to revisiting its back catalog. Rumors of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake persist, although official confirmation is pending.

Embracing Generative AI

Guillemot also discussed the role of evolving technology, specifically highlighting Assassin's Creed Shadows' dynamic weather system and its impact on gameplay. He expressed strong belief in the potential of generative AI to significantly enhance future game worlds, particularly in enriching NPC intelligence and interactivity, potentially extending to animals and environmental elements. This suggests a future of even more dynamic and immersive Assassin's Creed experiences.
