Ubisoft’s latest Assassin’s Creed status report gives players a clear split between what is arriving soon and what will require patience. Valhalla players have a New Game Plus update to watch for on November 5, while fans waiting for Codename Hexe should not expect the next major news until 2027. Ubisoft also clarified that no additional remakes are currently in active development.
What changes for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will receive New Game Plus on November 5, allowing players to begin another campaign while retaining progression items and their level from a prior run. The update also adds an optional progression system that combines Gear, Runes and Masteries into Eivor’s overall Power. Ubisoft is adding new runes, achievements, a stash feature and additional rewards, including a Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe’s appearance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Players will also be able to collect Mithril, a new material used to improve Divine Gear and enhance runes. Every item can reach Divine Gear quality under the update. The announcement follows the recent arrival of New Game Plus in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.
Who should follow Invictis, Hexe and the Netflix series
Players interested in Assassin’s Creed multiplayer should keep an eye on Codename Invictis, though Ubisoft has not offered a release window. The PvP project remains in development after feedback suggested its early foundations had promise but needed a stronger connection to the defining elements of the franchise. Ubisoft says it has spent recent months revising the game while preserving its multiplayer focus. For single-player fans, Codename Hexe remains the more distant prospect. Ubisoft plans to provide its next substantial Hexe update in 2027. The game was announced in 2022 and is set during the 17th-century Holy Roman Empire, with witch hunts expected to be central to its setting. Meanwhile, the live-action Assassin’s Creed series for Netflix is nearing the end of its work in Rome. Composer Hannah Peel is creating the show’s score.
What comes next for remakes and the franchise
The most definitive message concerns remakes. Following Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft says it does not currently have another Assassin’s Creed remake in active development. That does not rule out future returns to older games, but fans should treat any further remake expectations as speculative for now. Ubisoft says its teams are focused on upcoming Assassin’s Creed entries, including unannounced projects with different settings and stories. The publisher is also preparing plans for the series’ 20th anniversary in 2027, promising a year built around announcements, updates, rewards and community activities. Specific anniversary plans have not yet been detailed.
What players should know

- The Valhalla update adds Mithril, Divine Gear upgrades, new runes, achievements, a stash system and fresh rewards.

Expert View
This is a useful roadmap rather than a major slate reveal. Valhalla players receive the most immediate value, while Hexe and Invictis remain projects to monitor rather than plan around. Ubisoft’s remake statement is especially important: interest in classic Assassin’s Creed games remains high, but the company is prioritizing new chapters for the moment.
