Assassin’s Creed Codename: Hexe Remains in Development as Ubisoft Provides Updates on the Franchise’s Future

Ubisoft has shared a glimpse of what lies ahead for Assassin’s Creed, including progress on Hexe, continued development of the multiplayer project Invictus, and a new update for Valhalla.

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise remains one of the company’s most important properties, with multiple projects in development and more updates planned for existing releases. Whether fans looking to revisit older entries through further remakes will have to wait is still uncertain, with the latest update suggesting that Ubisoft has no other remakes currently in the works.

The remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is getting a lot of attention, particularly from players who want to see more classic entries get the same treatment. The original Assassin’s Creed and its sequel are among the games that fans often mention when talking about potential remakes. However, reports about an Assassin’s Creed 1 remake appear to have been inaccurate, and there are reportedly no other remakes in production.

That doesn’t mean Ubisoft is slowing down its plans for the franchise.

Assassin’s Creed Hexe is reportedly still in development and progressing well, with more information coming in 2027. The project has attracted attention for its darker direction, which could give the series a different atmosphere compared to some of its more recent entries.

Hexe is particularly noteworthy because Ubisoft seems to be taking the franchise in a different direction with this project. Details are scarce, but its darker presentation has already made it one of the more intriguing upcoming Assassin's Creed releases. Fans will have to wait until 2027 for another good look at what the developers are working on.

Ubisoft also updated fans on its upcoming multiplayer project, Assassin's Creed Codename Invictus. The game is deep in development, and the team has already conducted playtests to gather feedback. One key point from those tests was that the experience needed to align more closely with the franchise's core pillars.

This feedback implies that Ubisoft is still working out how Invictus will fit into the larger Assassin’s Creed identity.

The multiplayer game can present different design challenges than the traditional single-player adventures, particularly when the developers have to keep the elements that make the series recognizable. It seems like the team is taking the playtest results and using them to tweak the experience as development continues.

Invictus has also been in the news with leaked images reportedly associated with its playtests. The newest update, however, does not include a release date or detailed explanation of its gameplay systems. The most important development for now is that Ubisoft is continuing to test the project and is responding to feedback about its direction.

And while the company focuses on its next titles, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is also receiving some additional support. Ubisoft is also working on a new update that will bring New Game Plus, as well as new gear, outfits, resources, and more. This is significant because Valhalla has been out for several years, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows has also been released as another major franchise entry.

The inclusion of New Game Plus is especially interesting for players who want to experience Eivor’s adventure all over again but don’t want to have to completely restart their progress.

The additional gear and resources should also serve to motivate returning players to come back to the game. This could give longtime fans a fresh reason to revisit Eivor's journey while offering newcomers more content to explore. It also gives Ubisoft an opportunity to keep Valhalla relevant while players wait for the franchise's upcoming releases.

With the success of the title, it’s no surprise Ubisoft continues to support Valhalla. Its expansive open world and deep progression systems helped make it one of the meatier releases in the franchise, and the company still seems interested in giving their existing player base more content.

New updates give us an intriguing look at what Ubisoft has planned for Assassin’s Creed. It doesn’t look like there are any more remakes in the current development schedule, but Hexe and Invictus are moving ahead, and Valhalla still gets new content. Fans will have to wait a little longer to find out how Ubisoft intends to shape the next chapter of the franchise, with more news on Hexe coming in 2027.
