Ubisoft Teases Assassin’s Creed Hexe, Rules Out New Remakes

Ubisoft has confirmed that there are currently no Assassin’s Creed remakes in development. They also shared a cryptic hint about Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe. This information comes from the publisher’s Fall 2026 franchise update, as reported by Polygon.

This announcement follows the launch of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced. Many outlets deem that release a success, which sparked speculation about what Ubisoft might remake next. For now, the company’s answer is nothing, but they haven’t ruled it out completely.

Push Square reports that Ubisoft isn’t dismissing the idea of future remakes. The studio just isn’t working on any remakes of previous titles at the moment. GameSpot framed this as Ubisoft “pumping the brakes” on remakes.

This includes the original game. DualShockers highlights that despite the franchise’s upcoming 20th anniversary, Ubisoft has no plans to remake the first Assassin’s Creed. An anniversary remake seemed like a safe bet, but the update puts that idea to rest for now.

The more intriguing news revolves around Codename Hexe. Ubisoft announced this project back in 2022 with a brief teaser, but details have been scarce since then. According to IGN, a new blog post from Ubisoft contains a cryptic clue that could reveal more about the game, if players can figure it out.

The sources don’t specify what the clue means, and Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed a release window or platforms in the available material. Until they do, any decoded theory should be taken as speculation. The update does confirm that Hexe is still in the works, four years after its announcement.

Community Pulse

The source material doesn’t include any direct player quotes, so we can’t attribute any. GameSpot reported that Black Flag Resynced is a hit, but players are “particularly upset about one thing” in the release. This suggests that fans are still engaged with the remake concept, even while Ubisoft steps back from it.

What To Watch

• Hexe’s decoded clue: Keep an eye out for Ubisoft to confirm or correct fan interpretations of the blog post and for any first look at gameplay or a release window.
• The 20th anniversary: Since Ubisoft has no original game remake planned, look for other ways they’ll celebrate this milestone.
• Remake policy: Ubisoft has left the door open for future remakes. If they change their wording after the sales data for Black Flag Resynced comes in, that could signal a shift.
