Ubisoft, the renowned gaming powerhouse, is breathing new life into its flagship franchise, Assassin's Creed. In a recent interview with Ubisoft's website, CEO Yves Guillemot announced the development of remastered versions of older Assassin's Creed titles, aiming to modernize rich game worlds and revive fan favorites [1].
The remake initiative is a strategic move to diversify the series, as Ubisoft intends to offer various experiences beyond the standard formula. This approach is not unprecedented, as the company has previously released remasters of popular titles like Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection and Assassin's Creed Rogue [1].
One of the highly anticipated remakes is expected to be Assassin's Creed Black Flag, which was initially released in 2013 [2]. The game, known for its captivating storyline and engaging pirate setting, has garnered a massive fan base. Although Ubisoft has not officially confirmed a release date, rumors suggest that it may not be complete for "at least a few years" [1].
Besides the remake projects, Ubisoft is also working on several new Assassin's Creed games, including Assassin's Creed Hexe and the recently revealed Black Flag remake [1]. The publisher aims to release Assassin's Creed games more frequently, ensuring a steady stream of content while maintaining variety [1].
Adding to the excitement, Ubisoft is developing a new platform, Animus Hub, which is expected to serve as a launchpad for various Assassin's Creed games and potentially as a digital store [1]. This initiative aims to create a seamless and immersive experience for players, allowing them to access and engage with the rich world of Assassin's Creed more easily.
In conclusion, Ubisoft's commitment to revitalizing the Assassin's Creed franchise through remakes, diversification, and the development of new platforms like Animus Hub, is a testament to the company's dedication to delivering engaging and high-quality gaming experiences.
