Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is All But Official Now, More Than a Graphics Upgrade

The remake of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag that Ubisoft reportedly has in the works appears to be absolutely real at this point, as the project has now appeared (temporarily) on an employee's LinkedIn profile. Spotted by MP1ST, it's listed with mention of new gameplay systems and mechanics relating to combat, ecosystems, and wildlife. This suggests the project is much more than a simple graphical upgrade.

A remake of Black Flag has been rumoured for some time now, which originally launched for PS4 and PS3 over 10 years ago in 2013. It's considered one of the favourites from before Ubisoft changed its gameplay style into more of an RPG.

With Assassin's Creed Shadows just two months away from release, it seems unlikely that Ubisoft will want to divert any attention away from the pivotal launch. However, after that, the possibility of an announcement at a Ubisoft Forward livestream during the summer season seems like a possible prospect. According to Insider Gaming, the remake was expected to release in November 2025, but this was before the second Assssin's Creed Shadows delay was confirmed.
