I feel like a remake of ''Discovery'', rather than retconning any details, only needs to ''add'' details that show why Ezio wasn't present when Aguilar and Maria interrupted the ransom exchange, and why Ezio didn't learn from Aguilar Torquemada was a Templar all along. I think it's entirely within the realm of possibility that unexpected circumstances could've led to some communication barrier. | I feel like a remake of ''Discovery'', rather than retconning any details, only needs to ''add'' details that show why Ezio wasn't present when Aguilar and Maria interrupted the ransom exchange, and why Ezio didn't learn from Aguilar Torquemada was a Templar all along.

It would also be exciting to actually play Altaïr in his final chase to save Adha that ended in tragedy and likely is what set him so against the Creed at the beginning of ''Assassin's Creed''. Thing is that the plot of this game is mentioned in other sources, including ''The Secret Crusade'', so it's definitely canon... just the details needs explaining.

I feel like a remake of Discovery, rather than retconning any details, only needs to add details that show why Ezio wasn't present when Aguilar and Maria interrupted the ransom exchange, and why Ezio didn't learn from Aguilar Torquemada was a Templar all along. I think it's entirely within the realm of possibility that unexpected circumstances could've led to some communication barrier.
I actually think Bloodlines is entirely fine being left alone, especially in terms of lore; it doesn't contradict anything. I wouldn't be too excited for a remastered version because it would essentially just be the same game, and it honestly was the Assassin's Creed game I had the least fun with aside from Identity.
As for Altaïr's Chronicles, I had always wanted it to be remade with much of its plot mostly intact, but the details revised. The game is the only one in the entire series to be littered with the improbable, "malevolent", architecture of classic platforming games (e.g. treacherous pits of spikes and fire and swinging axes along the entrance to a public party at a villa xD), elements which are obviously non-canon. The game suffers from the absence of a lot of major plot details, leaving us with no explanation as to what the Chalice or Adha really is meant to be, why it wasn't actually at the Temple of Sand, why Al Mualim said the Crusaders already had it at the beginning of the game only for them to frantically be searching for it throughout the game, why the Crusaders managed to enter the Temple when they lost all keys and the map to Altaïr, etc. Patching up these details, while showing how the Assassins came to believe Altaïr after he killed their traitorous second-in-command Harash would be great...
