Ubisoft has another Assassin’s Creed remake in development in addition to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, it is claimed.
During the latest episode of the Insider Gaming podcast, co-host and known industry insider Tom Henderson claimed that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced isn’t the only remake Ubisoft has planned, as another remake in the long-running series is already in development.
Based on what Henderson has heard, DLC for the original Assassin’s Creed Black Flag won’t be coming to Resynced, as Ubisoft currently has no plans to give it the remake treatment. That said, he added that if the upcoming remake sells well enough, the publisher may consider bringing over the DLC in a couple of years. “From what I understand that the DLC isn’t coming,” he said. They have no plans to do it. Obviously, if it sells immensely well, right, like it does 10 million units, maybe they’ll do it and it’ll come out in a couple of years. But at the moment there’s no plans for it.”
Furthermore, the insider revealed that Ubisoft has another Assassin’s Creed remake in development in addition to Resynced. He specified that it’s one of the earlier entries, which would mean it’s either the original Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, or Assassin’s Creed 3. “There is another Assassin’s Creed remake in the works, one of the earlier ones,” he said. “Based on Black Flag’s [success], they’ll then revisit the series, I guess, and then distinguish and pick out what other remakes they can do.”
The discussion also raised questions about whether Ubisoft could increasingly rely on remakes as a safer commercial option, particularly amid rising development costs and internal challenges. Henderson cautioned against oversimplifying the situation, pointing toward troubled projects like the Splinter Cell remake and the canceled Prince of Persia remake, both of which faced prolonged development issues. According to him, Ubisoft’s situation is more problematic, describing Black Flag Resynced as “a gem in the mud.”
