Assassin’s Creed remake: Steam updates point again to Assassin’s Creed 1
In brief
- Ubisoft is again linked to an Assassin’s Creed remake, with recent Steam Store changes pointing to a remake of the first game.
- Multiple reports point to a remake of the first Assassin’s Creed from 2007, which is also rumored to be called Assassin’s Creed Resynced.
- The Steam Store page for the original game appears to have been updated at least twice, including new banner and logo art.
What happened
According to recent reporting around Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft appears to be teasing another remake within the franchise. The trigger is that the Steam Store page for the original Assassin’s Creed has reportedly been updated several times, with changes to the banner and logo. In the available reporting, it is explicitly stated that the page was updated at least twice. Fans and series followers see those changes as a possible sign that something related to the first 2007 game is in the works.
Those adjustments have strengthened speculation that this is a remake of the first game. The same reporting also mentions the name Assassin’s Creed Resynced, but Ubisoft has not officially confirmed that title. The available sources make it clear that the project name is still unconfirmed, and that the identity of the project is therefore based mainly on indirect clues. The reporting also links the presumed remake to earlier rumors about a re-release or rework of the original Assassin’s Creed, but that remains unconfirmed as well.
The reports fit into a broader reading of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed strategy, in which the company is said to want to release more varied types of projects. In a Ubisoft report about Assassin’s Creed in 2026, the company talks about a broader goal of offering more variety in experiences within the universe, and about multiple other projects in different stages of development. In that context, remakes or so-called Resynced games are mentioned as part of the mix, alongside other Assassin’s Creed projects. At the same time, that is a strategic context, not a formal confirmation that this remake has already been revealed.
So the current situation is that the Steam changes, earlier rumors, and the name Assassin’s Creed Resynced together create a strong wave of speculation, but Ubisoft itself has not made an official announcement. No development studio, release window, or final title has been confirmed in the available sources either.

Background
The original Assassin’s Creed released in 2007 and is considered the start of the franchise. That is why any change around the game’s page is quickly picked up by the community, especially when it lines up with earlier remake rumors. The first game is an important reference point for many series followers, so even small visual changes on a store page can quickly spark fresh speculation.
Ubisoft has not named an official title, development studio, or release window in the available sources. As a result, the project’s identity remains based on indirect clues and earlier reports rather than a formal announcement. The sources also make clear that the name Assassin’s Creed Resynced is circulating as a rumor, not as a confirmed product label. That distinction matters, because the reporting simultaneously talks about a remake of Assassin’s Creed 1 and about a possible new name that Ubisoft has not yet locked in.
The broader context is that Ubisoft says in an official Assassin’s Creed update that multiple projects are in various stages of development and that it wants to offer more variety within the franchise. In that same context, Assassin’s Creed Jade is also mentioned as one of the ongoing projects. That information shows Ubisoft does not seem to want the series to rely on just one type of game, but it does not say anything definitive about the status of this specific remake.
The Steam Store changes therefore remain the most concrete clue in the current reporting. According to the available context, they involve changes to the banner and logo on the original Assassin’s Creed page, and the community has noticed them multiple times. Because Ubisoft has not explained the changes, it remains unclear whether they are meant as a teaser, preparation for an announcement, or a routine update. Until there is an official confirmation, the remake remains a strong rumor with a few visible clues, but no formal reveal.
