On October 29, 2026 Ubisoft rolled out the Fall 2026 Update for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, delivering a mix of new content and long‑awaited plans. The headline announcement was the introduction of a New Game+ mode for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, a feature that has been requested by players since the game’s 2020 launch.
The update also clarified that Ubisoft is not currently developing any new remakes. Jean Guesdon, Head of Content, explained that the team’s focus has shifted to the next generation of original titles, while keeping the possibility of revisiting older games open for the future. This decision follows the release of Black Flag Resynced, which surpassed its first‑year sales projections in just two weeks.
In addition to Valhalla, the update touched on two projects in development. Hexe, a title set in a darker, witch‑themed world that may feature Ezio Auditore, is slated for a 2027 reveal. Ubisoft confirmed that the game is still in production, with a creative vision that differs from previous entries. Meanwhile, Invictus – a competitive PvP multiplayer experience – has completed a private testing phase, showcasing its acrobatic combat and vertical maps.
Players of Black Flag Resynced will also receive a new patch on November 5, 2026, adding a New Game+ option, a nightmare mode, and a host of rewards. The patch will bring new equipment, runes, and a storage system inspired by the Shadow series, and will be available on current‑generation consoles and PC.
Beyond the games themselves, Ubisoft announced a series of events to celebrate the franchise’s 20th anniversary in 2027. The company plans a mix of announcements, community events, and special rewards. A Netflix live‑action adaptation, still in production, will feature a score by Hannah Peel and is expected to film near the end of 2026.
Throughout the update, Ubisoft emphasized its commitment to community engagement. A March survey gathered thousands of player responses, highlighting the importance of preserving the series’ identity, delivering coherent storytelling, and maintaining open dialogue. The company will host closed‑door workshops with selected community members and content creators to feed these insights directly into future development.
