Key Notes
- Ubisoft has set November 5 for Valhalla’s New Game+ update, giving players another way to replay Eivor’s journey after the game passed 40 million players.
- No further Assassin’s Creed remakes are actively in development, though Ubisoft leaves open the possibility of revisiting older games in the future.
- Invictus is being revised after private prototype feedback, while Hexe’s next major information update is planned for 2027 rather than a confirmed release date.
Ubisoft has set November 5 for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s New Game+ update while confirming that no further Assassin’s Creed remakes are actively in development. Its autumn roadmap also gives status updates on multiplayer project Invictus and the darker Codename Hexe, whose next major update is planned for 2027.
The October 29 update separates support for existing games from the next generation of releases. Valhalla players have a feature to return for next week; anyone waiting for another rebuilt classic or a firm date for Hexe still has no release commitment.
Valhalla Gets Another Reason to Return
New Game+ will let players begin Eivor’s journey again while retaining much of their progression, with scaling intended for a repeat playthrough. Ubisoft also says Valhalla has passed 40 million players. That measures its audience, rather than establishing 40 million paid copies sold.
The roadmap lists new rewards and progression options, but full patch notes are still to come. The November 5 date is therefore the useful immediate commitment: players can plan a replay without treating every detail of the update as already documented or available.
Black Flag Resynced has already reached its comparable milestone. Ubisoft’s separate patch notes dated its final major content update for October 27 at 14:00 UTC, bringing New Game+ and Nightmare difficulty to the pirate adventure.
That New Game+ retains Edward’s tools, upgrades, unlocked weapons and trinkets. Nightmare changes the challenge rather than adding a new campaign: among its rules are stronger enemy attacks, tighter parry timing and the removal of protection against being killed by a single hit.
We covered the Black Flag update before launch. Its designation as the final major content release does not mean support immediately ends; Ubisoft has also committed to further quality-of-life work over the coming months.
Another Remake Is Not Currently in Production
Ubisoft describes Black Flag Resynced as its first franchise remake and says no other remake is actively being developed. It leaves open the possibility of revisiting older titles later, so the statement should not be read as a permanent rejection of remakes.
GamesRadar’s report highlights the same distinction between a current production slate and a closed door. The immediate focus is on new settings and stories, including projects Ubisoft has not announced.
For fans, that gives remake speculation a clear limit. Interest in revisiting an older game is not evidence that a team is building it, and leaving a future opportunity open supplies neither a project announcement nor a launch window.
Invictus Changes Direction While Hexe Waits
According to GamesRadar’s account of the roadmap, hundreds of players tested an early Invictus prototype privately. Ubisoft said feedback welcomed its parkour, vertical maps and team play, but also asked for a stronger connection to the series’ defining elements. The team has been revising the project in response.
That is a development update rather than confirmation of an open beta. Ubisoft has not attached a release date to the latest statement, and the prototype feedback should not be mistaken for a verdict on a finished game.
Hexe remains in development, with its next major update due in 2027. A date for more information is not a date for the game itself. Together, the announcements leave the clearest near-term plan with existing releases: Black Flag’s new replay options are live, and Valhalla’s are scheduled for November 5.
