A Consistent Stream of Diverse AC Experiences

Guillemot's interview revealed plans for a regular release schedule of diverse Assassin's Creed titles, aiming for a varied experience each year rather than repetitive gameplay. While he didn't specify which titles are being remade, the statement promises a revitalization of beloved classic entries.

Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (set in 16th-century Europe, targeting a 2026 release), Assassin's Creed Jade (a mobile game slated for 2025), and Assassin's Creed Shadows (set in feudal Japan, launching November 15, 2024) will contribute to this variety. These titles promise fresh and unique experiences within the broader Assassin's Creed universe.

Ubisoft's history includes successful remasters like Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered (2018). Rumors of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake have circulated, though official confirmation is pending.

Embracing Generative AI

Guillemot also discussed technological advancements in game development, citing Assassin's Creed Shadows' dynamic weather system as an example of impactful gameplay enhancements. He emphasized the potential of generative AI to create more intelligent and interactive NPCs and environments, enriching the open worlds with increased dynamism. He highlighted the potential for this technology to improve not only NPCs, but also animals and the environments themselves.
