The reception for Black Flag Resynced has been overwhelmingly positive among critics and fans alike, capturing an impressive 93% Critics Recommend score on OpenCritic. Naturally, that success sparked widespread speculation within the gaming community about which other classic entries in the storied franchise might be prime candidates for a comprehensive remake treatment.
For fans preferring traditional stealth mechanics or historical settings away from the open sea, the future holds plenty of promise. Following strong recent entries like Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has a massive slate of upcoming projects in the pipeline. These range from secretive narrative-driven console games and mobile adaptations to unexpected live entertainment and a high-profile television series.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe
Release window: TBA
Platforms: TBA
First announced by Ubisoft in September 2022 alongside a wave of other franchise projects, Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe remains one of the most enigmatic titles in development. According to a franchise update provided in March 2026 by Jean Guesdon, the franchise head of content, players should anticipate a unique, darker, and deeply narrative-driven Assassin’s Creed experience set during a pivotal, atmospheric moment in history.
Based on clues from the initial announcement trailer and pre-reveal reporting, Hexe is widely expected to transport players to 16th-century Europe, focusing heavily on the harrowing era of witch hunts. Early rumors suggested that supernatural or magical abilities might play a gameplay role, though subsequent leaks claimed those mechanics were ultimately removed. While unverified leaks should always be approached with caution, Hexe has reportedly experienced internal shifts, including leadership changes and team-wide restructuring throughout 2026. Consequently, the game currently in development may differ significantly from the concept Ubisoft initially envisioned during its 2022 reveal.
In an October 2026 franchise progress update, Guesdon confirmed that Ubisoft is making steady progress on the darker project and promised a major official update regarding Hexe in 2027. That same update included a cryptic, uncontextualized text string that immediately set online communities speculating. Reports later surfaced in November 2026 claiming that Hexe had faced an internal delay from a planned 2027 launch window to 2028. Additionally, rumors surrounding other unannounced projects began to bubble up, including a codenamed traditional title called Mars set in Ancient Rome, and a mobile spinoff titled Assassin’s Creed Pocket set in Jerusalem. Industry watchers suggest formal details on Mars are unlikely to emerge until the end of the decade.
Assassin’s Creed Jade
Release window: TBA
Platforms: Android, iOS
Ubisoft has experimented with mobile iterations of its flagship franchise in the past, but none have matched the scale and ambition of Assassin’s Creed Jade. Upon its initial reveal, the game immediately drew attention for resembling a traditional console experience rather than a simplified mobile title reliant on basic touch inputs. Showcased extensively at Gamescom 2023 with gameplay trailers highlighting signature parkour and stealth assassinations, Jade promises an open-world experience tailored for handheld devices. Despite undergoing several closed beta testing phases, an official global release date has not yet been announced.
Set in China during the Qin Dynasty in 215 BC, the game invites players to traverse historical environments, including parkour across sections of the Great Wall and exploration of ancient urban centers. Notably, Jade introduces a fully customizable protagonist to the series for the first time.
Assassin’s Creed Invictus
Release window: TBA
Platforms: TBA
Unlike Hexe and Jade, Ubisoft has kept visual media for Assassin’s Creed Invictus tightly under wraps. Directed by a dedicated team of veterans from the tactical fighting game For Honor at Ubisoft Montreal, Invictus is designed to deliver a dedicated PvP multiplayer experience within the universe. The franchise has a history of experimenting with competitive multiplayer, dating back to the acclaimed modes introduced in 2010’s Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, cooperative missions in Unity, and multiplayer features in subsequent entries.
Wild internet rumors previously painted Invictus as a comedic, party-style game resembling a "Fall Guys version of Assassin’s Creed" featuring Fortnite-inspired art direction. However, Guesdon explicitly pushed back against those characterizations, stating that the project is not quite what the rumors suggested.
During the October 2026 update, Guesdon revealed that Ubisoft recently conducted a private playtest for Invictus involving hundreds of participants. While player response was very positive, participants expressed a desire for more core elements that define the single-player experience of the franchise. The development team spent the subsequent months acting on that feedback, steering Invictus in a direction that better honors those traditional pillars while maintaining its competitive multiplayer ambitions. Guesdon cautioned that information circulating online remains subject to change as the project evolves through ongoing testing.
More remakes?
The massive commercial and critical success of Black Flag Resynced left many fans eager for additional remakes of foundational series entries. However, Guesdon tempered those expectations during the October 2026 update, clarifying that Ubisoft currently has no other classic Assassin’s Creed remakes actively in development. Instead, internal teams remain fully focused on pushing the franchise forward with entirely new chapters, settings, and narratives—including projects that have not yet been announced.
Guesdon did not completely close the door on the possibility, acknowledging that developers share the community’s fondness for revisiting classic titles and will continue evaluating opportunities to modernize older games down the line. This clarification followed previous comments from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot in a 2024 interview, where he used the plural form "remakes" when discussing the company’s portfolio strategy, which had led many to believe multiple modernizations were running concurrently alongside the Black Flag project.
Heredis
Release window: December 2026
Expanding beyond traditional interactive media, the next franchise spinoff takes the form of a live theatrical production. Titled Heredis, the original stage show is scheduled to premiere in Montreal this December before transferring to Paris in 2027. According to Ubisoft, the production blends acrobatics, high-flying parkour, traditional theater, and historical drama into a unified live performance.
The narrative follows a character named Naël on a history-spanning journey to locate his missing father. Promotional materials indicate that audiences will not require extensive knowledge of series lore to follow the story, and the production’s official website omits explicit mentions of the historical war between the Assassins and the Templars.
Assassin’s Creed TV series
Release window: TBA
The franchise’s previous foray into live-action adaptations—the 2016 feature film starring Michael Fassbender—received a divisive critical response, though it maintained a dedicated following among longtime fans. In October 2020, Ubisoft announced a partnership with Netflix to develop a new episodic adaptation, culminating in a greenlight for a live-action series in July 2025 featuring writing talent from the television adaptation of Halo.
The production assembled a notable cast including Toby Wallace, Lola Petticrew, and Noomi Rapace. Principal photography began in the spring of 2026 and officially concluded in the autumn. While initial fan speculation suggested the project might adapt the beloved narrative arc of Ezio Auditore, Netflix confirmed that the series will feature an entirely original story set in Ancient Rome. An official release date for the streaming adaptation has not yet been announced.
