Ubisoft’s long-rumored Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake is reportedly just a few months away. In its latest financial report, the company listed games slated for release before the fiscal year ends on March 31, 2026, leaving one project “unannounced.” According to Insider Gaming, that mystery title is the Black Flag remake, aiming for launch the week of March 23, 2026. While Ubisoft hasn’t officially confirmed the game despite years of leaks, speculation, and hints from its lead actor, fans have been keeping close tabs and think they know what to expect. The remake is said to feature major visual and gameplay upgrades to match Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ quality with a stronger RPG focus, plus brand-new missions for Edward Kenway. However, modern-day gameplay sections are reportedly being cut — a change that’s not sitting well with some fans.
Rumor has it that Ubisoft Singapore is leading development on the new Black Flag remake, after previously releasing the long-delayed Skull and Bones, which originally spun off from Black Flag’s naval gameplay. Ubisoft is doubling down on Assassin’s Creed, its flagship series, with this year’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows and a recent Saudi Arabia-funded free update to 2023’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Alongside the Black Flag remake, next year is expected to see a second major Shadows expansion. Further ahead, Ubisoft has confirmed a multiplayer Assassin’s Creed title and its next big project, the witchcraft-themed Assassin’s Creed Hexe. Earlier today, the company credited “strong performance” from the franchise for its positive financial results, noting that Mirage has surpassed 10 million sales, though no update was given on sales for Shadows.
