If you have been looking for an excuse to jump back into Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft just gave you a couple of good ones. Its Fall 2026 update is packed with news, from fresh content to a big birthday celebration next year.
What’s new in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla?
To celebrate Valhalla passing the 40 million player mark, Ubisoft is finally adding New Game+ on November 5. It lets you restart Eivor’s journey while carrying over a big chunk of the progress you worked so hard for. The difficulty adjusts to match your stronger Viking, so the raids stay challenging.
There’s also a new optional system where your Gear, Runes, and Masteries all feed into Eivor’s overall Power. On top of that, you get a stash, extra runes and achievements, and Mithril, a new material for upgrading Divine Gear and strengthening runes.
Is Black Flag Resynced getting more content?
It is, though this will be the remake’s last big drop. Ubisoft Singapore has added New Game+, a Nightmare Mode, extra finishers, trinkets, and more ways to personalize your adventure. You can now dress Edward as Blackbeard or in his London clothes and give the Jackdaw and its sailors a fresh look.
Hoping for another classic to get the same treatment? You’ll have to wait. Ubisoft says none of its teams are currently working on a new remake, but it’s open to revisiting older games down the line.
What else is Ubisoft working on?
The multiplayer project, Codename Invictus, is being reworked after playtesters said it needed to feel more like Assassin’s Creed. Codename Hexe, the franchise’s darker upcoming adventure, won’t get another big update until 2027.
Over in Rome, Netflix’s live-action show is close to wrapping up, and Hannah Peel has signed on to write its music. The series also turns 20 next year, and Ubisoft promises 12 months packed with announcements, goodies, and fan events.
