A Consistent Stream of Diverse AC Experiences

Guillemot's interview revealed plans for a diverse range of Assassin's Creed experiences in the coming years. While he didn't specify which titles are being remade, he stated the intention is for more regular releases, but with varied gameplay experiences each year, avoiding repetition.

Upcoming titles like Assassin's Creed Hexe (set in 16th-century Europe, targeting a 2026 release) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (set in feudal Japan, releasing November 15, 2024) exemplify this commitment to fresh gameplay. Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile title, is also anticipated in 2025.

Ubisoft has a history of revisiting its catalog, with previous examples including Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered (2018). Rumors of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake persist, 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 a prime example of enhanced gameplay and visual fidelity. He emphasized his belief in generative AI's potential to create more intelligent and interactive NPCs and environments. This technology, he suggested, could significantly enhance the dynamism and realism of future open worlds, impacting everything from animal behavior to environmental features.
