Guillemot's interview revealed plans for a regular release schedule of diverse Assassin's Creed games, aiming to avoid repetitive yearly releases. While he didn't specify which titles are being remade, he underscored the intention to modernize them, promising a fresh take on beloved classics.
Beyond the remakes, Guillemot promised a variety of experiences in the coming years.

Ubisoft's history of remastering classic titles, including Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection (2016) and Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered (2018), provides context for these upcoming remakes. Rumors of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake persist, though official confirmation is pending.
Embracing Generative AI
Guillemot also discussed the role of evolving technology, citing Assassin's Creed Shadows' dynamic weather system as an example of significant visual and gameplay advancements. He emphasized his belief in generative AI's potential to enhance game worlds, particularly in creating more intelligent and interactive NPCs and environments. He envisions a future where AI enriches open worlds with increased dynamism, impacting everything from animal behavior to environmental features.
