Ubisoft has provided a comprehensive autumn update on the state of the Assassin’s Creed universe, blending immediate gameplay additions with long term promises. For those still roaming the wilds of England and Norway, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is receiving a highly anticipated New Game Plus mode on November 5. This update allows players to restart their journey while retaining levels and gear, alongside several quality of life improvements like a new stash system, additional runes, and a Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe from the upcoming Shadows title.
Looking further ahead, the company offered a glimpse into its mysterious pipeline of new projects. Fans waiting for news on Codename Hexe, the atmospheric project centered around 17th century witch hunts in the Holy Roman Empire, will have to exercise patience as Ubisoft noted that a major update on that specific title is slated for 2027. Meanwhile, the multiplayer venture known as Codename Invictis is undergoing significant changes. After listening to player feedback regarding the core identity of the series, developers have spent months reworking the game to ensure it feels more aligned with traditional Assassin’s Creed pillars while maintaining its competitive edge.
The update brought some sobering news for nostalgia seekers who were hoping for a wave of modernized classics. Ubisoft clarified that there are currently no other remakes in active development beyond Black Flag Resynced. While leadership emphasized that they remain open to revisiting old favorites in the future, the studio’s primary focus is now shifted toward entirely new settings and untold stories. This pivot suggests a desire to expand the lore rather than simply polishing existing entries.
Beyond gaming, the expansion continues onto television and milestone anniversaries. Production on the live action Netflix series is reportedly nearing completion in Rome, with acclaimed composer Hannah Peel handling the musical score. All these threads seem to be leading toward 2027, which marks twenty years since the franchise first debuted. Ubisoft teased an extensive celebration for that landmark year, promising a flurry of reveals and rewards to commemorate two decades of leaping from rooftops across history.
