For several years, discussions around a potential remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag have been heating up. Reports from Kotaku in 2023 indicated that Ubisoft Singapore was developing both a remake of Assassin’s Creed IV and Skull & Bones. As rumors swirl around the remake—most recently teased by a well-known voice actor—anticipation continues to build among fans.
When Will Ubisoft Announce the Remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag?
It seems that every few months, speculation about the remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag resurfaces, with new details emerging regularly. Despite being a widely acknowledged rumor, Ubisoft has yet to officially confirm any plans. Following the struggles of Skull & Bones, which continues to receive updates, the company is likely waiting for the optimal moment to make a formal announcement.
Ubisoft’s Recovery and Player Demand
With the recent performance of Assassin’s Creed Shadows falling short of expectations, Ubisoft is facing significant challenges. The company’s stock has seen a substantial drop, particularly as it seeks closer ties with Tencent to stabilize its finances. A remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag has been highly anticipated by players for years. The original game, released in 2013, left a profound impact on the gaming community, and Ubisoft cannot afford to make mistakes, especially in light of recent project failures.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Skull and Bones, and others have struggled to bring back the company’s former glory. While several upcoming titles could potentially change the narrative, like Hexe and Jade, the possible inclusion of a remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag is noteworthy.
Hints about the remake have also come from Matt Ryan, the voice actor for Edward Kenway, who suggested a fan revisit the original game, teasing that they might need to do so again. During a fan interaction, he responded to a question about completing the game, stating, “You may have to beat it again” and, “There’s a reason I say that, but I can’t share more.”
However, with ongoing challenges—including recent legal issues involving former employees and the company’s continued stock decline—Ubisoft may choose to remain low-key for the time being. It remains uncertain when the publisher will choose to address the potential remake. Fans are left to speculate whether it might be announced in the near future.
