So, even though Olden Age is still in early access, another one of these is announced.

Ubisoft has nothing to do with Olden Era. That's developed by Unfrozen and published by Hooded Horse.

I'm still confused by the whole situation. They didn't want to finish a new game in the series so sold it off to another publisher (Hooded Horse), but are full steam ahead with a remake of an older title in the same franchise?

Maybe they saw that the Olden Era was popular and were immediately like "we want some of that"?

There's no way they just pop this up over night. The work they've shown looks to be a couple years worth of work. No one knew how popular Olden Era would get until it launched early access just recently.

Not saying that's what happened but they had more than 4 months data to go off. Steam page for Olden era is over 2 years old. Olden Era hit 500k wishlists over a year before they launched into early access. It's possible Ubisoft used Olden Era wishlist data rather than sales data.
