Ubisoft continues to secretly work on the long-awaited Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Remake. While no official announcement has been made, leaked information and rumors indicate that the game is still in development. Recent claims from French gaming magazine Jeux Vidéo Magazine, which has previously shared accurate information about the series’ future, have revealed that this new version may feature radical changes compared to the original game.
Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Remake Strengthens Role-Playing
Black Flag Remake will focus more on the role-playing (RPG) elements introduced in Assassin’s Creed Origins. Players will reportedly see stats for main character Edward Kenway’s equipment and encounter a more in-depth character development system.
One of the most striking parts of the leaks is the claim that the modern-day story sections of the original game will be completely removed. Instead, players are expected to spend more time on Edward Kenway’s pirate adventures and encounter new missions. This means the story will focus entirely on Edward and the world of piracy in the Caribbean.
Other key claims include:
- Smoother gameplay: The elimination of loading screens when moving from ship to land will provide a seamless experience.
- Expanded content: Some content removed from the 2013 original will be incorporated into the remake. While the map itself won’t be expanded, it will reportedly be packed with new missions and activities.
- Possible release date: The game is expected to be released in the first half of 2026, specifically in March.
It’s worth noting that these claims have not yet been confirmed by an official source and should therefore be considered rumors. However, if even a few of these leaks prove true, the Black Flag remake will go beyond just a graphical update and offer significant changes in gameplay and story. Ubisoft’s official statement on this matter is eagerly awaited.
