An Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake has been rumored for years at this point, with the most recent rumors claiming a 2026 launch date, but now, the new Assassin’s Creed Head of Content, Jean Guedon, has confirmed in a recent brand update blog post that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is in development. While the game’s existence is now confirmed, no launch date or window has been attached yet, and Ubisoft indicated in the blog post that it is but one of several AC projects “in various stages of development.”
As the title of the blog post “Assassin’s Creed Into 2026” indicates, Guesdon also gives us an idea of what to expect from the franchise for 2026 onwards, aside from Black Flag. Namely, he says that the next Assassin’s Creed game slated for launch is Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, which looks to have recently received a combat rework deep into its development cycle. Hexe is confirmed to be a narrative-driven, darker twist on the franchise, and Ubisoft will “be quiet for a little longer,” ahead of release, but it looks to be the closest to launch. Assassin’s Creed Invictus is the name of the PVP multiplayer Assassin’s Creed game that Guedon has also confirmed to be in development alongside Codename Jade, which is an open-world mobile game that will seemingly take place in China and was originally rumored for a 2023 launch.
