Ubisoft may be gearing up for a pair of major announcements that have been the subject of numerous rumors, with Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia remakes on the way. As one of the biggest developers and publishers in the gaming industry, Ubisoft has kept itself busy with a plethora of beloved franchises across its many subsidiaries. Ubisoft has its hands in a variety of different genres and styles, helping to create everything from Rainbow Six and Assassin's Creed to Just Dance and Rabbids. The developer looks to have even more ahead with lots on the schedule for fans.
Ubisoft and its subsidiaries have a plethora of projects in the works for 2026, including some of its biggest franchises. Ubisoft's Tom Clancy brand looks to have several games on the way throughout the year, with Rainbow Six Mobile launching in February and Tom Clancy's The Division 3 also in development. Assassin's Creed also has some big projects in the works, including the mobile-exclusive Assassin's Creed Jade and Assassin's Creed Hexe as one of the next major games. Now, one of Assassin's Creed's most beloved games is set to make a comeback alongside another big Ubisoft remake.
Ubisoft's Worst-Kept Secret Somehow Missed Out on the Best Possible Timing
Countless rumors and leaks led straight to The Game Awards 2025, only for Ubisoft to leave its most anticipated reveal behind the curtain.
Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia Announcements May Be On The Way
New information from prominent Ubisoft leaker Zephryss is suggesting that Ubisoft may have some big announcements on the way. Zephryss shared that the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake's web domain has seen some major updates in recent weeks, likely preparing for a public release. Ubisoft has also begun to re-upload much of Assassin's Creed Black Flag's music on YouTube, with the pirate-themed Assassin's Creed's remake being one of the biggest rumors surrounding the studio. Ubisoft had previously confirmed that the Prince of Persia remake will launch in 2026, while the company has not directly revealed the Assassin's Creed remake.
While Ubisoft has officially confirmed the Prince of Persia remake, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has been considered one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming. The remake has seen numerous rumors and leaks ahead of its official reveal from Ubisoft, including some cut content returning with Assassin's Creed Black Flag's remake. Ubisoft may have even accidentally confirmed the remake's existence, after Edward Kenway actor Matt Ryan was threatened with a lawsuit for some playful comments about the remake. Fans also discovered that Ubisoft had officially registered a domain for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced at the start of January, in preparation for a full reveal of the game.
Ubisoft's Pair of Remakes May Be Launching Very Soon
Recent rumors have heavily suggested that the Prince of Persia remake will launch in January, with Ubisoft potentially shadow-dropping the game alongside its official announcement. The Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake has also already seen speculation about its release date, with an "unannounced title" planned to release near the end of the current fiscal year in March. Ubisoft has yet to confirm any new announcements or livestreams yet, though it is likely the remakes will be revealed as a pair.
Assassin's Creed fans should have lots to look forward to from the franchise beyond its heavily-rumored remake. Ubisoft first teased Assassin's Creed Hexe as one of the next major games in 2022, said to be a "very different type of game" for the Assassin's Creed franchise. Hexe is rumored to be heavily centered around the Germanic witch trials in the 1600s, featuring a female protagonist and boasting a "dark, haunting tone" with revenge as a primary theme. Between some big remakes and exciting upcoming games, Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed look to have a big year in store for 2026.
