Assassin’s Creed Franchise Update Details Codename Hexe News for Next Year, Valhalla New Game Plus, and Confirms No New Remakes

Ubisoft has just delivered a comprehensive autumn briefing for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, offering a wealth of announcements ranging from legacy titles to highly anticipated upcoming entries in the storied stealth-action series.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Addressing the current lineup, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is finally receiving its heavily demanded New Game Plus mode via an upcoming patch scheduled for November 5. Fans can now dive back into Eivor’s epic saga while retaining previously earned gear and character progression. Furthermore, the patch introduces several exciting additions:

• An alternative progression framework where Gear, Runes, and Masteries collectively influence Eivor’s overall Power level.
• Fresh runes, achievements, a dedicated stash system, and exclusive rewards—including a striking Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe from Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
• Mithril, a rare currency utilized exclusively for upgrading Divine Gear and empowering runes.
• The introduction of Divine Gear quality across all available equipment.

This rollout closely follows the recent implementation of New Game Plus in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Invictus

Development continues on Codename Invictus, an upcoming standalone PvP multiplayer experience. Ubisoft noted that they have carefully reviewed community feedback from players who praised the core foundations while requesting a stronger emphasis on traditional Assassin’s Creed pillars. Consequently, the development team spent the past several months recalibrating the project to align more closely with the franchise’s identity while maintaining its distinct multiplayer ambitions.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe

For those eagerly awaiting the next major single-player installment, Codename Hexe, Ubisoft has announced that substantial gameplay details will be revealed in 2027. Initially unveiled back in 2022, the narrative takes place within the 17th-century Holy Roman Empire, where the grim atmosphere of historical witch trials will heavily shape the core experience.

Future Assassin’s Creed Remakes

Following the launch of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced earlier this year, Ubisoft managed expectations regarding future remakes, stating transparently: “To be completely candid, we currently have no additional Assassin’s Creed remakes actively in production. Our studios are fully committed to crafting the next generation of adventures, including unannounced projects featuring entirely fresh eras and narratives.”

Even so, the studio left the door open for future possibilities, adding, “Like many passionate fans, we cherish the opportunity to revisit our roots and will continually evaluate ways to bring beloved classic journeys to modern platforms.”

Assassin’s Creed Netflix Series

Shifting to transmedia adaptations, production on the live-action Assassin’s Creed series for Netflix is rapidly nearing completion on location in Rome. Furthermore, acclaimed composer Hannah Peel (recognized for her work on Insomnia, Rogue Agent, and Game of Thrones: The Last Watch) has been tapped to create the original musical score.

To cap things off, Ubisoft hinted at monumental celebrations for 2027, which marks the remarkable 20th anniversary of the franchise. While specific plans remain under wraps, the team promised a year-long rollout of major reveals, community milestones, and in-game rewards.
