Assassin’s Creed has evolved into a massive franchise since its 2007 launch, with a whole arsenal of games and a story that’s branched out like a ninja’s grappling hook. It’s clear they’re shaking things up a bit. Ditching the modern-day stuff and revamping the gameplay is a bold move to snag new recruits, for sure. While the recent games are sprawling epics, it sounds like Ubisoft’s feeling nostalgic for the tighter experiences of the earlier days. Maybe they’re aiming to blend that classic feel with fresh innovations?
After all that whispering and speculation, Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, finally spilled the beans: multiple remakes are officially in the works! This is exciting news – it’s a chance to revisit some of those earlier Assassin’s Creed worlds we loved, but with a shiny, modern makeover. Guillemot even mentioned how these classics still hold rich potential, which is pretty darn cool. Sounds like we’re in for a nostalgic trip down memory lane with some Assassin’s Creed goodness!
Remember that annual release grind after Assassin’s Creed 2? Yeah, that went on all the way to 2015, until Unity and Syndicate caused a bit of a kerfuffle (understandably!). Ubisoft switched gears after that, taking a three-year break and diving into the world of RPGs. Then came the epic Viking adventure of Valhalla, followed by a four-year hiatus before the upcoming Shadows loomed on the horizon. Don’t forget the little side-quest in between, though – Mirage, a smaller spinoff that brought back those classic stealth mechanics we all know and love. Looks like Ubisoft’s taking a more strategic approach these days, with a mix of big releases and throwback experiences!
Not to keep you waiting in the shadows any longer, Assassin’s Creed fans! CEO Guillemot confirmed a future full of variety! While we’ll see new Assassin’s Creed games more frequently, they won’t be copy-and-paste jobs. Get ready for a smorgasbord of experiences! We already know about Assassin’s Creed Hexe, and apparently, it’s going to be a total curveball compared to Shadows. Sounds like Ubisoft has some surprises up their sleeves, and that’s always a good thing for gamers like us!
Remember those whispers about a Black Flag remake last year? [Kotaku] even mentioned fancy new tech to spruce up that open world. And guess what? The rumor mill kept churnin’, with whispers of a classic Assassin’s Creed remake too! Ubisoft’s staying tight-lipped about which games are getting the makeover treatment, but hey, at least we shouldn’t have to wait in the crow’s nest for much longer to find out! Get ready to set sail (or maybe dust off your hidden blade) for a nostalgic adventure – Assassin’s Creed style!
