Full account
Ubisoft says it has no other Assassin’s Creed remakes actively in development. In a franchise update, the publisher said its teams are concentrating on future entries, including projects that have not yet been announced. It added that work on Black Flag Resynced taught the team about rebuilding older systems and introducing new features while retaining the character of the original game, and that it may revisit earlier titles in future.
The update also covered two announced projects. Ubisoft said Codename Hexe, a forthcoming mainline game described as a darker experience, is making steady progress, though work remains; it expects to provide a substantial update in 2027. Codename Invictus, a multiplayer project, is being revised following playtest feedback. Ubisoft said its direction is evolving to bring more of the series’ familiar elements into the game while retaining its multiplayer focus.
The franchise news included updates for existing games. Ubisoft has announced New Game+ for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, scheduled for 5 November. Black Flag Resynced has also received a final major update, including New Game+, a higher difficulty option and additional takedown animations. The company said it will share further details soon, including information about updates for current-generation consoles.
Ubisoft added that production of Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed series is nearly complete, although no release window has been given. The franchise’s 20th anniversary falls in 2027, when the publisher says it plans reveals, updates, rewards and community events.
The reports largely agree on the absence of other remakes and the status of Hexe and Invictus. The first gives more attention to the Valhalla update’s 5 November date, the anniversary plans and the Netflix series; the second emphasises Ubisoft’s caveat that Hexe still needs work and its warning that online information about Invictus may be incomplete or inaccurate. The second also speculates about when Hexe might be released, but Ubisoft has not announced a release date.
Where outlets differ
From the full account, which is AI-written from the sources:

Source 1 gives 5 November as the release date for Valhalla’s New Game+ option and mentions forthcoming current-generation console update details; Source 2 does not include those details.
Source 2 adds Ubisoft’s caution that online information about Invictus may be incomplete, outdated or inaccurate, while Source 1 focuses on the project’s revised direction after playtest feedback.
Only Source 1 reports that Netflix series production is nearly complete and outlines anniversary plans for 2027. Source 2 instead offers its own speculation about Hexe’s possible release timing, which is not an Ubisoft announcement.
