Assassin's Creed: Fall 2026 Update

Hello everyone, it’s time for another update!

Now that Fall is here, we wanted to share some news on what we've been working on since we last spoke to you in March 2026.

Jean Guesdon, Head of Content, is back to walk you through recent franchise updates and what's coming next for Assassin’s Creed.

Let’s start with a general update.

BUILDING THE FUTURE OF ASSASSIN’S CREED

In case you missed it, earlier this year we announced a new Assassin's Creed Leadership Team, made up of longtime franchise veterans from across the brand. Their role is to shape the future of Assassin's Creed and ensure a cohesive vision for the years ahead.

Led by Martin Schelling, the team has spent the past few months laying the groundwork for what comes next, refining the long-term vision and defining key priorities.

While we're not ready to talk about specifics just yet, we wanted to reiterate the principles guiding that work: Staying true to what makes Assassin's Creed unique, continuing to innovate, delivering diverse experiences, and elevating the quality and consistency of our games.

And as we build that future, we want to keep the conversation going with you.

WORKING MORE CLOSELY WITH OUR COMMUNITY

In March, we invited you to share your thoughts on the future of Assassin's Creed through a Community Survey, and thousands of you took the time to tell us what matters most to you. Thank you for that!

Three key topics stood out from your responses:

• Concerns about preserving the unique identity and pillars of Assassin's Creed
• A desire for a more coherent narrative that respects and expands Assassin's Creed's lore
• And the need for more regular dialogue between us and you, the community

That feedback echoed conversations already underway within the Leadership Team. As we shared above, strengthening consistency across the franchise and its universe is a major focus.

We also remain committed to keeping you informed about franchise news in a variety of ways, starting with updates like this one.

To keep listening, we're planning several closed-door workshops this year with dedicated community members and content creators, to bring feedback closer to the development teams. Stay active on our Discord if you'd like to be considered for future opportunities as we're always looking for new voices.

While those workshops will help us dig deeper into specific topics, we want to hear from players across the entire community. That's why our next Community Survey is now live.

Take a few minutes to share your thoughts and help shape the future of Assassin's Creed.

Now let's look at some of the latest updates on our current games.

CURRENT GAME UPDATES

BLACK FLAG RESYNCED’S FINAL MAJOR UPDATE

It was the worst-kept secret in history... and now it’s real! Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced launched on July 9, and it's been incredible to watch so many of you take the helm of the Jackdaw again.

Over the past months, the team at Ubisoft Singapore has continued improving the experience with quality-of-life updates and new content. Now, the game's final major update has arrived, bringing New Game+, Nightmare Mode, new rewards, finishers, trinkets, and additional customization options.

Among the new rewards are special surprises for the Community: Blackbeard's iconic outfit, Edward's London attire, and fresh customization options for the Jackdaw and its crew.

This update marks the end of our current plans for additional major content, and we hope it gives you one more reason to return to the Caribbean and conquer the seas. The team will also follow-up with quality-of-life updates over the coming months.

Well, there's actually somewhere else you can set sail soon...

NEW GAME+ IS COMING TO ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA

Assassin's Creed Valhalla recently surpassed 40 million players and, to celebrate, we're bringing one of the community's most requested features: the (very, very, very) long-awaited New Game+, arriving November 5.

Whether you want to replay Eivor's saga, try a new build, or take on England again with your favorite gear, New Game+ lets you start fresh while carrying over much of your progression, with dedicated NG+ scaling.

This New Game+ update also introduces:

• An optional progression mode where Gear, Runes, and Masteries all contribute to Eivor's overall Power
• New runes, achievements, a stash system, and new rewards, including a Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe's look in Assassin's Creed Shadows
• Mithril, a new resource to upgrade Divine Gear and strengthen runes
• Divine Gear quality for all items

And that's not all. We'll share full details in the upcoming Patch Notes, along with news regarding current-generation console updates in the coming days.

Make sure to join the conversation on Discord, Reddit and our social channels to share your feedback on this new update, as it will help inform future discussions around bringing similar updates to other Assassin's Creed titles. 😊

GAMES IN DEVELOPMENT

Across the franchise, our teams continue to make progress on a number of projects currently in development.

Codename Invictus

The team behind Codename Invictus, our ambitious Multiplayer project, has had a busy year. A few months ago, hundreds of players joined our first private Insiders Session, got hands-on with an early prototype, and shared feedback directly with the development team.

The response to the return of PVP multiplayer was very positive. Insiders particularly enjoyed the parkour and verticality of our maps, the dynamic teamplay, and the chance to play as various Assassin's Creed characters, each with their own skills and playstyles.

One piece of feedback came through clearly though: players saw great potential in the foundations but wanted more of the pillars that define Assassin’s Creed. The team spent the past months acting on it, and Invictus is now evolving in an exciting direction that better reflects those pillars while staying true to its multiplayer ambitions.

We're proud of the work so far and very excited for the year ahead. Invictus is still in development, so information you come across online may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. We'll keep testing new iterations and update you as soon as we have more to share.

But multiplayer isn't the only corner of the franchise taking shape behind the scenes...

Codename Hexe

We're making steady progress on this darker Assassin's Creed experience, though there is still work ahead of us. We know the wait has been long, and we're grateful for your patience and continued enthusiasm for the project.

The team remains focused on delivering the unique vision at the heart of this project, and we'll share our next major update in 2027.

Until we're ready to share more, we'll keep enjoying your theories, discussions, and excitement as this experience continues to take shape.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER REMAKES?

We know the community has had plenty of questions about remakes lately – even more so following Black Flag Resynced.

As our first-ever franchise remake, Resynced taught us a tremendous amount. Taking on a game that holds such a special place in players' hearts brought both excitement and challenges. Rebuilding old systems from scratch, adding new elements that fit the experience, and balancing legacy with innovation was a massive undertaking. We're super proud of what the Resynced team delivered and how well it was received.

One thing we want to be transparent about today is that we currently have no other Assassin’s Creed remake actively in development. Our teams are already focused on the next chapter of Assassin’s Creed titles, including projects you haven't heard about yet, featuring new settings and stories.

But don't mistake that for a closed door. Like many of you, we love the idea of revisiting our classic titles, and we'll keep exploring opportunities to bring older titles back.

That door remains open because, after all... Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

OTHER PROJECTS

LIVE ACTION NETFLIX SERIES

And while we've mainly focused on games so far, there's another project making steady progress behind the scenes.

Production of Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed series is nearing completion in Rome, Italy, where Jean visited the set, consulted on the scripts, and met the showrunners.

We recently shared another exciting update: award-winning composer Hannah Peel (Insomnia, Rogue Agent, Game of Thrones: The Last Watch) has joined the project and will be composing the series’ score.

No release date has been communicated yet, but you can check everything revealed to date on Tudum while we remain hidden in the shadows a little longer before stepping into the Roman Empire.

UPCOMING CELEBRATIONS

Last but not least... Assassin’s Creed turns 20 next year! It is a major milestone for the brand and one we look forward to celebrating with you.

We're preparing a year of reveals, updates, rewards, and community moments. Our plans are still tightly wrapped in secrecy, but we can already say we want this anniversary to focus on you, our players. Assassin’s Creed wouldn't be here without your passion, creativity, and support.

Keep your eyes on our channels for when the celebrations kick off, in 2027.

We'll have much more to share in the months ahead but until then, here's a look at the logo that will mark 20 years of Assassin's Creed.

FINAL WORDS

That's all we had for today!

We won't always be able to reveal every detail or answer every question, and building great games takes time. But we're committed to staying connected, sharing what we can, and continuing to listen.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, expectations, and love for Assassin's Creed with us on the day to day.

Now, it's time for us to slip back into the shadows... Until next time.

Long live the Creed! <)
