The remake, titled Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, had already been heavily rumored, and even some international rating boards had listed it. Now, Ubisoft has made it official.

The company provided a brief update on Codename Hexe, the upcoming title set in Europe during the witch trials. The game is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, but it is still far from release.

In addition, Ubisoft confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Codename Invictus is in development. This will be a multiplayer experience handled by Ubisoft Montreal and developed by a team that includes veterans from For Honor. According to Ubisoft, “it’s a new approach to multiplayer in the franchise, but it isn’t quite what the rumors have suggested.”
Beyond these, the mobile game Assassin’s Creed Jade is still in development as well, after a long period without any updates.
There is also good news for fans of older titles. A 60 FPS update for Assassin’s Creed: Unity will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
Finally, Ubisoft confirmed that it is thinking about bringing back cooperative gameplay to the series. The company also revealed that one Assassin’s Creed project was recently canceled during early development. However, Ubisoft said that the lessons learned from that canceled project will help shape future games.
In addition to video games, Ubisoft is continuing to work on other media projects related to the franchise. More news about the live-action Assassin’s Creed series for Netflix is expected soon.
