Ubisoft’s Latest Move Makes the Black Flag Remake Look More Likely Than Ever

by

There hasn’t been an official confirmation from Ubisoft regarding a remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, but the online buzz about it is persistent and substantial. Given its popularity, it seems quite plausible that this might eventually come to fruition.

Over the past few weeks, subtle changes and vague suggestions have given an older rumor a stronger sense of reality.

Ubisoft appears to be preparing for a comeback of one of their highly-acclaimed games, hinted by recent changes on Steam and cryptic messages from the voice actor of Edward Kenway.

Is Black Flag Getting a Remake?

One of the most obvious indications that something is about to happen was hinted at by a subtle modification on the Steam page of Black Flag.

As a devoted fan, I’ve noticed some exciting updates sneaking into the game recently! These include immersive surround sound, streamlined mouse controls, the ability to save at any time, and customizable difficulty settings – all making my gaming experience even more enjoyable!

In the 2013 debut, none of these features were present, and Ubisoft has yet to release an update clarifying their inclusion. Many players speculate that these new elements might be laying the foundation for a remake instead of just a typical update.

After fans pointed out that more recent Assassin’s Creed games share certain characteristics, it seems plausible that Ubisoft has transitioned the game onto a contemporary game engine, implying that the theory is gaining traction.

Reflecting its authenticity, Ubisoft made changes not only to the game files but also to the store listing itself. This action has sparked concerns among long-term players and dedicated collectors that the original Black Flag might vanish from circulation following the release of its remake.

Did Edward Kenway’s Voice Actor Just Tease the Remake?

The steam update started drawing interest coincidentally around the same time that Matt Ryan, who voices Edward Kenway, subtly suggested something during a recent gathering for fans.

When queried about potentially returning to Black Flag, he hinted cryptically that gamers “may need to conquer it once more,” a statement that leaves room for interpretation yet is difficult to overlook considering the circumstances. Shortly thereafter, Ubisoft France chimed in on the discussion.

As a dedicated fan, I couldn’t help but feel a thrill when the band’s official Twitter account posted a brief video of the iconic Black Flag, accompanied by the cryptic message “Mentally, I am here.” While it may have seemed merely nostalgic at first glance, the context surrounding this post made it feel like a playful nod to us, the dedicated fans.

Have There Been Signs of a Remake Before?

There have been whispers about a potential Black Flag remake resurfacing, as internal reports from 2023 suggested its approval, and eagle-eyed fans have spotted the absence of Edward Kenway in Pure Arts’ Assassin’s Creed statues, which could be intentional.

It’s generally accepted that the project has been underway for quite a while, even though there hasn’t been an official unveiling as of now. Previously, rumors suggested a potential launch date in 2025.

Despite setbacks in the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, there’s a possibility it could get postponed until 2026. But with Ubisoft planning to attend Gamescom this year, fans are hopeful for a full unveiling very soon.
