A Consistent Stream of Diverse AC Experiences

Guillemot's interview revealed plans for a regular release schedule of new Assassin's Creed games, emphasizing diversity in gameplay experiences rather than annual releases of similar titles. While he didn't specify which games are being remade, he hinted at a significant modernization of classic entries.

Beyond remakes, Guillemot promised a variety of experiences in the coming years. 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) are examples of this diverse approach.

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 the role of evolving technology in game development. He showcased the advancements in Assassin's Creed Shadows, particularly its dynamic weather system, which impacts gameplay and enhances visuals. He reiterated his strong belief in the potential of generative AI to significantly improve game worlds, particularly NPC intelligence and interactivity. This could extend to animals and environmental elements, creating more dynamic open worlds.
