Ubisoft is considering bringing back a larger Modern Day component in future Assassin’s Creed games as part of a broader effort to rethink the franchise’s direction over the next decade.
The company confirmed that the return of Assassin’s Creed Modern Day segments is under “deep consideration” internally. The goal is to reconnect the present-day storyline with the historical narratives, something that played an important role in earlier entries but has received less attention in recent games.
Ubisoft is also planning a dedicated fan workshop focused on Modern Day, giving players an opportunity to discuss how this part of the series could be handled going forward.
The potential return comes after Ubisoft reorganized its approach to Assassin’s Creed at the beginning of 2026. A new brand team, led by Martin Schelling and made up of longtime franchise veterans, was established to oversee the series and develop a ten-year roadmap.
The roadmap focuses on four priorities: preserving the franchise’s historical identity, introducing gameplay innovations, supporting different game formats, and improving overall quality standards.
Ubisoft is also looking to hire a global Narrative Director who would oversee storytelling across the entire franchise. The position is intended to improve narrative consistency between games rather than having individual studios handle their stories independently.
These changes follow a community survey conducted in March 2026, which highlighted several concerns among Assassin’s Creed fans. Players pointed to the gradual loss of the series’ original mechanics and values, an increasingly fragmented storyline, and limited communication between developers and the community.
As for future games, Ubisoft confirmed that no additional Assassin’s Creed remakes are currently in active development. The company wants its teams to focus on new titles, although Guesdon said the possibility of more remakes hasn’t been ruled out. Any potential remake would need to be considered against developing a sequel or prequel instead.
Ubisoft also plans to share more information about Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe and the multiplayer PvP project Codename Invictus in 2027.
