A new Unreal Engine 5 concept video by YouTube channel TeaserPlay shows what a hypotheticalAssassin’s Creedremake could potentially look like. The originalAssassin’s Creedgame was released in 2007, establishing Ubisoft’s open world action adventure franchise and spawning numerous sequels. It’s been well over a decade since the game launched, though, and so there are some who have called on Ubisoft to remake it to meet modern standards.
Ubisoft has not announced any plans to remake the originalAssassin’s Creedgame, though it is available to play on modern consoles thanks to Xbox backward compatibility. But while fans may not be getting a properAssassin’s Creedremake, they can at least imagine what one might look like by checking out a new video uploaded by TeaserPlay, a YouTube channel that specializes inUnreal Engine 5 concept videos.
