Ubisoft said it has no other Assassin's Creed remakes in development after the success of Black Flag Resynced.

Ubisoft has confirmed it has no Assassin's Creed remakes currently in active development, despite rumours that the company would greenlight multiple remakes following the success of Black Flag Resynced. The company said its teams are instead focused on new mainline Assassin's Creed titles, including unannounced projects featuring new settings and stories.

Ubisoft acknowledged the work involved in creating Black Flag Resynced, describing the process of rebuilding old systems, adding new elements and balancing legacy with innovation as 'a massive undertaking'. The company said it learned lessons from the project that will inform its approach going forward.

While ruling out current remake projects, Ubisoft stated the door remains open to revisiting older games in future. The company said it would continue to explore opportunities to bring older titles back, though such projects are not planned for the near term. Separately, Ubisoft announced a New Game+ option for 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla launching on 5 November, and said its multiplayer spin-off Codename Invictus is evolving following playtest feedback. The next mainline entry, Codename Hexe, is making steady progress, with a major update expected in 2027.
