Ubisoft say we shouldn’t expect more news this year
“In terms of the development stage, we’re in conception right now,” said the game’s producer Jean-Francois Naud in aUbisoft news blog. “Now, we’re building up the team, defining the priorities, putting porotypes together, testing elements, and looking at how we can include community feedback in the development as well.” Naud continued to say that the remake is in an “early stage” and that we shouldn’t expect more news for the rest of the year.
Ubisoft Montreal took over the project last summer, and at that time, the studio said they were “building upon the work achieved” by the former developers at Ubisoft Mumbai and Ubisoft Pune. Despite that, the team’s recent quotes about being in the “early stage” of development suggest that a lot of that prior work (seen in the embedded trailer above) has been taken back to the drawing board.
