This exciting news comes straight from gaming insiders at Kotaku, hinting that Ubisoft has begun working on an incredible remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, a title beloved by fans as one of the series’ finest entries. The game often pops up in conversations about Skull & Bones, another long-awaited project from Ubisoft. According to their sources—two reliable insiders close to the production—the initiative is just starting out and is being spearheaded by Ubisoft Singapore as the lead team. At this early stage, we don’t know if it will follow modern gaming trends or stay true to its classic roots, possibly even incorporating elements of Odyssey’s RPG mechanics from 2018. But with Skull & Bones showcasing such impressive advancements, it’s highly unlikely they’ll stick to a simple remake. So, let the speculations begin!
According to Kotaku, one of the fascinating twists is that some Skull & Bones developers had privately mused about transforming the game into something closer to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. They envisioned a version with cooperative gameplay, exploration, and intense close-quarters combat rather than just resource gathering or PvP naval battles. While this would have required more development time, for many it wouldn’t be such a bad idea given what we now know about Skull & Bones.In the meantime, Ubisoft is still waiting to release Skull and Bones, their long-awaited pirate game that was first announced way back in 2017 and has faced numerous delays ever since. Also developed by Ubisoft Singapore, this cursed project continues to stir up conversations within the gaming community. According to an internal email obtained by Kotaku, Ubisoft’s Singapore studio leadership is currently requiring all developers to work on-site rather than remotely. To keep morale high and encourage team investment in the production process, Ubisoft even offers complimentary breakfast and dinner for those who show exceptional dedication.
