Assassin’s Creed Update Sets Hexe News for 2027, Adds Valhalla New Game Plus

Assassin’s Creed has a busy stretch ahead, but the latest franchise update gives players different things to track: a substantial new mode for Valhalla, a redesigned direction for multiplayer project Invictus, and a longer wait for a major look at Hexe. Ubisoft says the next significant news about Hexe is planned for 2027, while it has no other remake actively in development.

The range of updates matters. Valhalla’s changes give returning players a fresh reason to revisit a completed game, while the news about Hexe and Invictus offers a glimpse of how the series’ next projects are taking shape. The remake comments, meanwhile, set expectations for players hoping to see more classic entries return soon.

Ubisoft’s fall update covers current games, projects still in development, and a live-action series. Here’s what players can take from each part.

Valhalla adds a new reason to return

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gets New Game Plus in an update arriving November 5. Players will be able to begin another run while carrying over progression items and levels from a previous playthrough. That makes the mode a direct option for people who want to revisit Eivor’s story without starting from the same progression point as a first-time player.

The update also adds an optional progression mode that ties Gear, Runes, and Masteries to Eivor’s overall Power. That change gives players another way to think about character growth, with multiple equipment and skill systems contributing to the same measure. New runes, achievements, a stash system, and additional rewards round out the changes.

Among those rewards is a Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe’s appearance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The update also introduces Mithril, a resource used to upgrade Divine Gear and strengthen runes, and makes Divine Gear quality available for all items. Together, the additions give returning players new equipment goals as well as a different progression option.

The timing follows the arrival of New Game Plus in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced a few days earlier. Seeing the mode appear in two series entries close together puts renewed attention on replay features. For Valhalla players, the key practical details are clear: the update arrives November 5, and a new run can carry over progress from an earlier playthrough.

Invictus is being reworked around player feedback

Codename Invictus, a player-versus-player multiplayer game, remains in development. Ubisoft says it has spent months reworking the project after receiving feedback from players who saw potential in its foundations but wanted more of the elements that define Assassin’s Creed.

The description leaves the specific changes open. Ubisoft says the game is now moving in a direction that better reflects those series elements while retaining its multiplayer ambitions. That suggests the team is still working through how to make Invictus feel connected to the franchise and suited to competitive play, but there’s no detailed account yet of what will change in its mechanics or format.

For now, the most useful signal is that player feedback has prompted a sustained redesign, rather than a small adjustment. With no new feature list or release timing included, the next meaningful measure will be whether Ubisoft can show how the revised direction comes through in play.

Hexe’s next major update is planned for 2027

Players waiting for the next single-player entry will need patience. Ubisoft plans to share its next major update on Codename Hexe in 2027. First revealed in 2022, the project is set during the 17th-century reign of the Holy Roman Empire, with the era’s witch hunts playing a significant role.

That setting gives Hexe a distinct historical frame within the series, but the latest update doesn’t add details about its gameplay, characters, platforms, or release timing. The 2027 window is therefore the concrete point for players to hold onto. Until then, the premise remains the main indication of what could set this entry apart.

No other remake is currently in development

After the release of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced earlier this year, Ubisoft says it has no other Assassin’s Creed remake actively in development. Its teams are focused on the next group of series titles, including projects with new settings and stories that have not yet been shared publicly.

That answer may disappoint players hoping for another classic to return soon, but it doesn’t rule out future remakes. Ubisoft says it enjoys revisiting older entries and will continue to explore ways to bring them back. The distinction is straightforward: there’s no additional remake in active development now, while the possibility remains open for later.

The Netflix series and the franchise’s 20th anniversary

The live-action Assassin’s Creed series in production for Netflix is nearing completion in Rome, according to Ubisoft. Award-winning composer Hannah Peel, whose credits include Insomnia, Rogue Agent, and Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, is composing its score. The update doesn’t provide a premiere date or further details about the series.

Ubisoft is also planning celebrations for 2027, the franchise’s 20th anniversary. It says the year will include reveals, updates, rewards, and community events, while keeping the specifics under wraps for now. Between that milestone and the promised Hexe news, 2027 is shaping up as an important year for fans tracking what comes next. For the nearer term, Valhalla’s November 5 update is the clearest date on the calendar.
