3 Assassin’s Creed games Ubisoft should remake next after Black Flag Resynced

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a hit, with a 94% score on OpenCritic. Players are enjoying it too (well, besides those microtransactions), and Black Flag Resynced has already sold more than 2 million copies. With that in mind, it’s not surprising why Ubisoft decided to remake Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag 13 years after it was released. People dug it then, and people dig it now — this was always going to fly off shelves like bottles of rum at a beachside tavern.

But there’ve been a lot of Assassin’s Creed games over the years, and even more are in development. Some of those future games might be remakes as Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has hinted that more classic AC games could get modern glow-ups. “There are worlds in some of our older Assassin’s Creed games that are still extremely rich,” he said in a 2024 interview with Ubisoft’s own site.

Here are three Assassin’s Creed games that Ubisoft should consider for its next remake, starting with where this whole series began.

Assassin’s Creed

I still remember getting an issue of Game Informer in the mail and being awed by the magazine’s feature story about some game called Assassin’s Creed ahead of its November 2007 launch. It just looked so damn cool, and like nothing I had played before. I got Assassin’s Creed for Christmas soon after, and that was that; 19 years later, here I am still playing Assassin’s Creed games.

As PlayStation and Xbox are remaking the entry points of their biggest franchises (the God of War trilogy remake and Halo: Campaign Evolved, respectively), Ubisoft should get in on the nostalgia game and remake the OG Assassin’s Creed. The series has come a long since Altair debuted the Hidden Blade; combat is more varied, parkour is more fluid, and newer entries feature a trove of cosmetics so your assassin can stab in style. Like with Black Flag Resynced, an Assassin’s Creed remake wouldn’t require too many changes to modernize this classic.

A remake would also just plainly make Altair’s adventure more accessible for today’s players. PC gamers and the handful of Xbox Series X owners (via backwards compatibility) can check it out, but PlayStation and Nintendo Switch owners are SOL.

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles comprises a trio of spinoff games released in 2015 and 2016. Set in China, India, and Russia, each entry introduces a new Assassin protagonist. The Chronicles series are played from a 2.5D perspective and feature more focused levels than you’d see in the mainline, open-world games. (They also feature little connection to the modern-day storylines, which is becoming commonplace in the series now.) While all three Chronicles titles received middling receptions, they were worthwhile experiments and took the series to locations it hasn’t been to since.

A remake of the Chronicles games could be more in line with the mainline games and revitalize them for a new audience. Their levels wouldn’t have to go open world and could be a separate experiment for the series by turning them into somewhat linear 3D games. At the very least, I want to explore their Ming Dynasty China, Sikh Empire India, and early 20th-century Soviet Russia settings in greater detail.

Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation

Ubisoft won’t let us assassinate Ku Klux Klan members, but at least it used to let us stab slave owners in the neck. In October 2025, Game File reported Ubisoft canceled a Reconstruction Era-set Assassin’s Creed game starring a former slave in the south who would take on the KKK. Ubisoft canceled it because of the racist backlash received by Yasuke’s inclusion in Assassin’s Creed Shadows and because it would be “too political in a country too unstable,” according to a Game File source.

That game sounds awesome, and it’s a shame Ubisoft spiked it. To make up for that snafu, Ubisoft should remake Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation with all the modern bells and whistles of today’s games. It stars Aveline de Grandpré, the series’ first female protagonist, as she fights for slaves’ freedom and combats the Templar Order (of course). Her adventure is mostly set in New Orleans (you know, only one of the USA’s most culture-rich cities) and the surrounding bayou, but also takes her to New York and Mexico.

Liberation was originally a PlayStation Vita exclusive and has since received a couple of console ports; the best, remastered version of it is currently bundled with Assassin’s Creed 3. Liberation is overdue for its own great standalone release. A remake could expand its maps and strengthen its story while highlighting one of its strengths. Liberation includes a unique “persona” system that further allows Aveline to adapt and blend into different social settings, an idea that should be adopted for all Assassin’s Creed games. (You’d think by now the traditional white Assassin garb would give them away.)
