Another Assassin’s Creed Remake is in the Works on Top of Black Flag – Rumour

The PS5 Pro has been in the rumour mill for over a year at this point, and though official word from Sony regarding a mid-gen refresh of its console has been nonexistence, the console’s specs have been aggressively leaked in recent months. Now, more details have emerged on that front.

Confession time: I already have a copy of Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for the PS5 even though I still don't have a PlayStation 5 console. I never get consoles the moment they come out and usually wait a few years for their next version. In the PlayStation 5's case, I thought it was going to be the PS5 Slim, but it looks like I could have another option by the end of the year: The PlayStation 5 Pro. Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming says the PS5 Pro details leaked by the Moore’s Law is Dead YouTube channel came from documentation Sony itself recently sent to third-party developers.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint was a bit of a dumpster fire, and Ghost Recon Frontline got cancelled in response to widespread backlash against its core premise, so the last few years have definitely been rough for the Ghost Recon franchise. Even so, though a new game hasn’t yet been officially announced, it seems safe to assume, given the magnitude of the franchise, that Ubisoft does have plans for a new game in the series. Now, a report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has shed light on alleged details about that next instalment.

In strangely fascinating news, the release of long-in-development piracy simulator Skull and Bones has caused a significant, sustained spike in the number of players revisiting Ubisoft's earlier effort, the corsair-filled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

Ubisoft hasn’t yet revealed too many official details on Assassin’s Creed Codename Red (including a final title), the next mainline series in the company’s flagship franchise, though new information on the title continues to emerge through leaks. A new report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has shed further light on the game.

A number of gameplay details about Assassin's Creed Red have emerged online, having been outlined in a new report from a credible industry insider. Among many other things, the leaked information suggests that the upcoming game will completely overhaul the Assassin's Creed series' parkour system, which is something that hasn't been done in about a decade.

Despite rumours that the project had been cancelled altogether, it seems that Saber Interactive is still working on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake.

Yesterday, Sony announced a major reduction in its PlayStation Studios' global workforce, including prized developers like Guerrilla Games.

When EA revealed that it was adopting a new multi-studio development model for the Battlefield franchise in 2021, it confirmed that Ripple Effect Studios – previously DICE LA – was at work on a “new” Battlefield “experience”. But with DICE and Ridgeline Games currently working on the series’ next mainline instalment (which is allegedly due out in October 2025), what should we expect from how Ripple Effect’s game will fit into the picture?

The critical and commercial failure of 2020’s Battlefield 2042 forced EA to reevaluate the first-person shooter franchise in some significant ways, leading to the company adopting a multi-studio development model for future instalments. Concrete details on the future of Battlefield have been scant since these changes were instituted, but a new report by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has shed light on potential details.

Last year, it was reported that Ubisoft had begun work on an Assassin's Creed: Black Flag remake codenamed Obsidian. Now, it's claimed that a second remake is also in development.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is the next instalment in Ubisoft’s flagship franchise, but we do know about other major releases that are in the pipeline for the years beyond as well. Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, for instance, was announced alongside Red back in 2022 as the game that would follow it.
