Ubisoft’s Anticipated Remake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Sparks Excitement
Despite the recent launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows a few months ago—a release that initially faced some drama but ultimately resonated with players—Ubisoft continues to expand the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The publisher’s collaboration with Tencent underscores its commitment to the license and other major projects like Rainbow Six. Multiple Assassin’s Creed titles are anticipated in the coming years, with one particular project generating significant buzz even without an official announcement: a remake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. While this remains speculative, recent leaks have fueled fan excitement.
Rumors are intensifying about a potential announcement for an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake, particularly following a new leak from PlayStation Game Size. The data miner discovered a mysterious new entry within the Assassin’s Creed game family, distinct from any Shadows DLC or updates, indicating a standalone title. The identity of this project remains unknown. Given Ubisoft’s ongoing development of Rainbow Six and the confirmed pipeline of additional Assassin’s Creed games, fans anticipate an imminent announcement.
Rumors Intensify Around Possible Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake Amid Steam Update and Gamescom Proximity
This new title prompts questions about its identity. It could potentially be Assassin’s Creed Invictus, the multiplayer game rumored for release this year. However, it is less likely to be Assassin’s Creed Hexe, the next major franchise installment, as reports from PlayStation Game Size indicate it is not expected soon. Consequently, attention largely focuses on the rumored Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake. The proximity to Gamescom further fuels speculation about a major reveal. Additionally, the original Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Steam page received an update earlier this month, a detail that often precedes new announcements. These combined factors suggest a reveal could be imminent.

| Official Name | Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag |
| Brief Summary | Into this world sails a young, cocky, and fearsome captain named Edward Kenway. His skill with a sword and disdain for authority earn him the respect of pirate legends like Blackbeard, but thrust him into an ancient conflict that threatens to destroy everything the pirates have built.
Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag begins in 1715, when pirates established a lawless republic in the Caribbean and ruled the land and seas. These outlaws paralyzed navies, halted international trade, and plundered vast fortunes. They threatened the power structures that ruled Europe, inspired the imaginations of millions, and left a legacy that still endures. |
