Rumors of a Black Flag Remake Make Waves

Ubisoft fans, get ready! The gaming giant is rumored to be remaking several classic titles from the Assassin's Creed series, and one of the frontrunners appears to be the beloved Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. This iconic pirate adventure, which sailed onto consoles in 2013, continues to capture the hearts of gamers worldwide.

A Hint from the Voice of Edward Kenway

In an intriguing twist, voice actor Matt Ryan, who brought the infamous pirate Edward Kenway to life, dropped hints about a possible remake during a fan interaction at a recent convention. In a video shared by a fan on X, Ryan teased, "You might have to beat Black Flag again," before mysteriously adding, "There’s a reason I say that, but I can't say anything more." Fans are buzzing with speculation!

Timing the Release

This isn't just fan speculation. Last year, reports from Insider Gaming indicated that the Black Flag remake is 'well into development', with potential launch plans set for late 2025. Holding true to Ubisoft’s legacy of high-quality remakes, it’s thrilling to think about what a modern revival of Black Flag might look like.

Ubisoft’s Bigger Picture: Remakes and New Adventures

While Ryan kept mum on specifics, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that the company is actively working on multiple remakes, though he left fans guessing which titles would be getting the remake treatment. Just last March, Ubisoft released Assassin's Creed Shadows, an action-packed journey set in feudal Japan, showcasing their commitment to evolving the franchise.

Future of Assassin's Creed Looks Bright

Looking ahead, Ubisoft is not only focused on remakes. Exciting new ventures like Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe, set against the backdrop of witch trials in the Holy Roman Empire, and Assassin's Creed Jade, a mobile edition, are in the pipeline. Moreover, a standalone multiplayer experience is also on the horizon!

As rumors swirl about a Black Flag remake and fans dream of adventure on the high seas, it’s clear that Ubisoft is charting a bold course for the future of Assassin's Creed. Stay tuned—you won’t want to miss what comes next!
