Ubisoft’s iconic Assassin’s Creed series may soon see a major revival as reports surface about a remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, one of the franchise’s most celebrated entries.
Known for its rich narrative and naval gameplay, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag was originally released in 2013 across PlayStation, Xbox, Wii U, and PC platforms.
The game introduced players to Edward Kenway and the golden age of piracy, cementing its legacy as a fan favorite and a commercial success. Rumors have circulated for months about the development of an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake, but Ubisoft has yet to make any official announcement regarding the project.
Concrete details have finally begun to emerge, thanks to reporting from Insider Gaming and journalist Grant Taylor-Hill, who cites that the highly anticipated remake is scheduled to launch across multiple console platforms before March 31, 2026.
Taylor-Hill’s report aligns with Ubisoft’s public fiscal planning, which generally concludes at the end of March each year. Further evidence supporting these reports surfaced when Ubisoft released an image showcasing their lineup of upcoming games expected by the end of their current fiscal year.
Notably, one of the titles was displayed but intentionally obscured, prompting industry watchers to speculate.
According to Insider Gaming and Taylor-Hill, the hidden game in the lineup is indeed the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake. In a statement summarized by Taylor-Hill, the team at Insider Gaming indicated that, based on their information, “the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake is lined up for a multiplatform release before the close of Ubisoft’s 2026 fiscal year.” This suggests the title could debut on next-generation platforms, existing consoles such as PlayStation and Xbox, and potentially the Nintendo Switch, depending on Ubisoft's platform strategy. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remains one of Ubisoft’s flagship titles, praised for selling millions of units worldwide and for innovating within the action-adventure genre.
The popularity of the original has fueled considerable excitement around the prospect of a remake with enhanced visuals and modernized gameplay.
However, as of now, Ubisoft has neither confirmed the project nor released a debut trailer.
Fans and industry analysts alike are keeping a close watch on the company’s upcoming announcements, particularly during high-profile events like Nintendo Direct or Ubisoft Forward. Until formal confirmation arrives, anticipation continues to build for the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake.
The gaming community eagerly awaits Ubisoft’s next move, hoping for a faithful revitalization of a classic adventure set on the high seas.
