Not only did it treat us to a killer story that’d lead on to many, many sequels, it also featured open-world gameplay unlike anything we’d seen before, with arguably some of the best freerunning in the series despite its age.
Many fans have been begging for a remake of the original and its following titles, so they’ll be happy to hear one is on the cards.
Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot recently engaged in a Q&A for an official blogpost, touching on what the future holds for the developer/publisher and what fans should be getting excited for.
Before teasing upcoming games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Assassin’s Creed Hexe, the CEO said the company is aiming to revisit some of its past works and give them a fresh coat of paint.
Guillemot said: “Firstly, players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernise them; there are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich.”
While the OG Assassin’s Creed wasn’t mentioned by name, it’s more than likely it’ll be the starting point for a trip to the past.
The news quickly spread to the subreddits, leading to a boom of excitement for what lies ahead for Ubisoft’s flagship franchise.
“I hope Ubi goes beyond the original game and remakes the complete Altair saga. I'd love to see the PSP games expanded and modernised” said one Assassin’s Creed fan.
“Really hoping for a remake of the og. He needs it the most” added another.
