Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Focusing development on new settings and stories could help Ubisoft refresh Assassin’s Creed, respond to players asking for clearer identity and more coherent storytelling, and avoid spreading teams across multiple remakes. Developing fewer remakes may also leave more room for projects such as Hexe and Invictus to find distinct directions.
The case against
Remakes can bring acclaimed older games to new audiences and give longtime players updated versions of stories they value, so pausing them may mean passing up a clear source of interest. Players who want specific older titles revisited may also see unannounced projects as a less reliable promise, especially while the series’ future direction remains unclear.
Explained simply
Assassin’s Creed is a long-running Ubisoft game series in which players explore historical settings through stories about a conflict between two secret groups. Each main game usually introduces a different period and cast of characters, while drawing on shared ideas and lore. The series has also revisited earlier games, leading to interest in remakes.
Ubisoft is the French company that makes and publishes the games. Jean Guesdon, its head of content, helps guide the series; Hexe is an upcoming single-player project, while Invictus is a planned multiplayer game. The company’s choices matter to players who want to know whether familiar stories will return or the series will move on to new settings and characters.
