Multiple Assassin’s Creed remakes are on the way, Ubisoft CEO confirms | VGC

A report last year claimed that Black Flag was being remade…

www.videogameschronicle.com

In an interview on the Ubisoft website, Guillemot was asked what Assassin’s Creed players can expect from the series in the future.

Guillemot replied that the series would see a variety of games in the coming years, including numerous remakes.

“Firstly, players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we’ve created in the past and modernize them,” Guillemot said.

“There are worlds in some of our older Assassin’s Creed games that are still extremely rich.

“Secondly, to answer your question, there will be plenty of experience variety. The goal is to have Assassin’s Creed games come out more regularly, but not for it to be the same experience every year.

“There are a lot of good things to come, including Assassin’s Creed Hexe, which we’ve announced, which is going to be a very different game from Assassin’s Creed Shadows. We’re going to surprise people, I think.”

A report last year claimed that Ubisoft had started development on a remake of popular Assassin’s Creed entry Black Flag.

AC1 Remake is probably in the hands of Bordeaux after the success of Mirage.

Black Flag is already in development by Singapure since last year so no news here.

I also believe that an Ezio trilogy remake is coming. Another “cannot fail” type of remake like RE4 was.

 

[SlimySnake]

Skip AC1. Remake AC2. AC1 is barely even a game.

remake both AC2 and brotherhood and package it in one game with next gen graphics.

Then skip AC3 and remake AC4 Black Flag.

 

[Topher]

 

[March Climber]

Other than AC 1 and maybe, maybe AC 2, which games are fans actually wanting remakes of?

Edit: Wanted to clarify, when stating "AC 2" I mean the Ezio trilogy. I consider them all as 2.

 

[M1chl]

 

[Bry0]

Nope, I like AC but I don’t even want them. Just keeping exploring new time periods and stuff.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Skip AC1. Remake AC2. AC1 is barely even a game.

remake both AC2 and brotherhood and package it in one game with next gen graphics.

Then skip AC3 and remake AC4 Black Flag.

Agree. AC1 felt like a tech demo. AC2 remains my favorite AC game. They pretty much nailed everything, consideration the technical limitations of PS360 back then.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[Antwix]

The only game I'd be interested in is Black Flag. They'll probably find some way to fuck it up though.

 

[Wandering Leopard]

When are they going to remake - or completely overhaul - the combat mechanics.

 

[Audiophile]

ACI, II, Brotherhood & Revelations would be great.

I only hope they respect the original vision and simply improve visuals and tighten up some mechanics. The original characters and designs of II and Brotherhood were perfect; they just need refinement in line with modern visuals, not reimagining. Also, no wide jaws on the female characters.

By next-gen we should have this:

 

[metaru_geah_sorrido]

The should just stop. AC2 was the last one to have any emotional impact whatsoever. Maybe that is just me.

 

[Topher]

Other than AC 1 and maybe, maybe AC 2, which games are fans actually wanting remakes of?

AC, Ezio Trilogy primarily for me. I think the games that launched on PS4 would do with just remasters.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Glad I have the Ezio collection, in case they fuck up the remakes which is a high probability given the track record of this industry.

 

[kyussman]

Gaming industry has turned into Hollywood......not a great move tbh.

 

[Hudo]

Abstergo Entertainment

 

[Draugoth]

Ubisoft could change their name to Assassin's Creed Inc.

 

[radewagon]

Skip AC1. Remake AC2. AC1 is barely even a game.

remake both AC2 and brotherhood and package it in one game with next gen graphics.

Then skip AC3 and remake AC4 Black Flag.

We are on different ends of this argument good sir.

Agreed that AC1 and AC3 are the weaker titles. Which exactly why those are the ones I'm hoping get remade. AC2, Brotherhood, and AC4 are fine as is.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Will they be VR ready and enabled to go?
The first few games could be Quest native.

 

[LordCBH]

I’d play the FUCK outta an AC1 remake.

 

[Tg89]

scraping the bottom of the barrel I see.

 

[HL3.exe]

AC1 remake I can kinda understand. But multiple??

Cynical industry be cynical ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[recursive]

Fuck yea. More assassins creed for the modern audience.

 

[Kurotri]

Remake the Ezio trilogy and try your hand at AC3 if you've got the balls. That game had insane ambitions but fell flat so hard I almost stopped playing the series if it wasn't for Black Flag reeling me in. I'm indifferent towards AC1, it's a game that's very special to me but as far as I'm concerned Mirage kinda covered that itch.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Aren't all AC games remakes? They're the same damn game.

 

[Dazraell]

Skip AC1. Remake AC2. AC1 is barely even a game.

This is why I feel AC1 Remake makes a lot of sense as they could use that as a good creative opportunity to refine and improve various elements of this game that originally were underwhelming. They could for example put everything (cities, Masyaf and Kingdom) on a single map, redo investigations missions to full missions with their own narratives, offer more depth to Altair, use all of the experience they got over the years with open world games etc, while still keeping the key story beats of this game intact

 

[semiconscious]

The only game I'd be interested in is Black Flag. They'll probably find some way to fuck it up though.

yep. plus the fact that i recently replayed it & had just as much fun as i'd had before. it still looked/felt just fine to me...

 

[TGO]

Skip AC1. Remake AC2. AC1 is barely even a game.

remake both AC2 and brotherhood and package it in one game with next gen graphics.

Then skip AC3 and remake AC4 Black Flag.

I usually agree with you but with the exception of AC2

AC1/2/BH/R/ACIII
done.
Actually ACUnity could do with a remake
And I know everyone loves ACII theme
But for me there just something about ACIII's

 

[AJUMP23]

I really have no desire to play these games again.

 

[Mr Hyde]

The one in France, who was unplayable on release with lots of glitches and bugs. That's the one I want. Except it's not unplayable this time, with a lot of bugs and glitches.

 

[PanzerCute]

Same. As a parisian it felt insane running around the city and imo it was a really good episode, but too glitchy and plagued with performance issue.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[semiconscious]

ubisoft ceo confirms: 'just like so many other triple-a game developers, we wish to announce that, yes, our best days are most definitely behind us, & remakes of those previous classics you've all come to know & love will now become the order of the day. from here on out, expect to see nothing like the ingeniousness & brilliance of our previous work ever again. we at ubisoft have come to accept this. & we feel it best that you do so, as well...'

Took them long enough to realise this, it been a decade

It's been in a good state for a while since it got patched a dozen or so times, it's also playable at 60 FPS via FPS Boost but at its base resolution, however.

 

[PauloRoberto]

It looks like Ubisoft simply 'unlearned' to be other games, and AC is simply not the great gaming news it was some years ago.

 

[Hudo]

I challenge you, Ubisoft, to make just one, just fucking one, good Heroes of Might & Magic game.

 

[SABRE220]

ACI, II, Brotherhood & Revelations would be great.

I only hope they respect the original vision and simply improve visuals and tighten up some mechanics. The original characters and designs of II and Brotherhood were perfect; they just need refinement in line with modern visuals, not reimagining. Also, no wide jaws on the female characters.

By next-gen we should have this:

I remember before next gen launch when journalists and devs were selling these graphics as realistic expectations for the middle of this gen lol. In the graphics expectations thread on era they were seriously arguing that graphics like this would be normal stuff by gens end. Wonder what they were smoking. Maybe by ps6...

 

[ComputerBlue]

“Modernize them”

We all want us to mean gameplay, mechanics, visuals etc., but we know what it also means.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Assassin's Creed sucks

 

[Trogdor1123]

I’d buy another trilogy…

 

[TGO]

I mean if they was continuing with Unitys presentation and graphics, this should have kidna been what current gen AC would look like.
Don't know about you guys but I think they taken a BIG step back
ACUnity 2014

AC Shadows 2024

 

[The_hunter]

Other than AC 1 and maybe, maybe AC 2, which games are fans actually wanting remakes of?

If they remake 2, they have to do Brotherhood as well.

 

[Deerock71]

 

[metareferential]

I'll take AC2 with a next-gen coat over any other AC everyday.

 

[Hey Blinkin]

AC1 Remake is probably in the hands of Bordeaux after the success of Mirage.

Black Flag is already in development by Singapure since last year so no news here.

I also believe that an Ezio trilogy remake is coming. Another “cannot fail” type of remake like RE4 was.

Isn't Singapore the team that made Skull and Bones?

That fucking sucks if they're remaking Black Flag.

 

[Thabass]

Skip AC1. Remake AC2. AC1 is barely even a game.

remake both AC2 and brotherhood and package it in one game with next gen graphics.

Then skip AC3 and remake AC4 Black Flag.

Nah, I would love a Remake of AC1. I would take a proper remaster of AC2 as well (with modern controls). If they can broaden out and expand upon Altair's story, that would be awesome.

 

[Drew1440]

I wonder what they will change for the mythical modern audience?

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Dear Ubisoft,

Please stop talking to me about Assassin's Creed and start talking about Splinter Cell and how you would reintroduce the magnificent Spies Versus Mercenaries mode from Chaos Theory.

Thank you.
