According to journalist Tom Henderson, Ubisoft is now turning its attention to the Assassin’s Creed series to add 60fps support, specifically mentioning that Assassin’s Creed Unity may be among the frist to receive this upgrade.

According to Ubisoft, details regarding “Hexe” have been scarce for a considerable period. The current expectation, as reported by multiple sources including IGN and Gamespot, is that further information, including launch plans, will be revealed sometime in 2026. “Hexe” is understood to be a new IP, and early reports suggested a focus on a dark fantasy setting inspired by the Salem witch trials. However, Ubisoft has not officially confirmed these details.

A remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was initially announced. However, reports from reliable gaming news outlets like Kotaku and Bloomberg in late 2023 and early 2024 indicated that the project has faced meaningful setbacks.
Recent Developments & Delays
Bloomberg reported in november 2023 that the remake was experiencing difficulties and was possibly being re-scoped. Further reporting in February 2024 confirmed that the remake had been substantially delayed, and growth was effectively paused. This pause was attributed to internal restructuring and changes in leadership within Ubisoft, as well as dissatisfaction with the initial progress of the remake. The project was reportedly handed over to ubisoft Montreal, the original developers of Black Flag, in an attempt to revitalize it.
As of January 27, 2026, there is no confirmed release date for the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake. Ubisoft has not provided a firm timeline for its completion, and its future remains uncertain. The extent of the changes made during the handover to Ubisoft Montreal is also currently unknown.
