Tom Henderson - EXCLUSIVE - Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake is Closer Than You Think



We first got wind of an Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake earlier this year, and information sent to Insider Gaming suggests that the game could be coming sooner than you might think.

When rumors of the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake began to circulate on the internet, many, including ourselves, assumed that the game would still be some years away from releasing. However, new details and documentation on the game sent to Insider Gaming under the condition that it does not go public suggest that the game is well into development and could be released much sooner than we all thought.

In fact, prior to the recent Assassin's Creed Shadows delay, which is understood to have affected the Assassin's Creed pipeline of content releases, the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake (codenamed Obsidian) was to be released around November 2025, which would be around the same time that the series' multiplayer offering, codenamed Invictus, is to be released.



Insider Gaming understands that this is part of Ubisoft's ramp-up strategy for the Assassin's Creed series, which will see around 10 Assassin's Creed titles of various lengths and experiences released in the next five years. This includes Assassin's Creed codename Jade, a fully-fledged mobile offering with a tentative date in Q2 2025 (FYQ1 26).

Unfortunately, though, the recent Assassin's Creed Shadows delay, which Marc-Alexis Côté said to said staff in an internal email "will also impact the rest of the Assassin's Creed roadmap," may have skewed these dates a little. That being said, to some, the Black Flag Remake is probably coming a few years earlier than some of us may have expected.

Gameplay sent to Insider Gaming of the Black Flag Remake under the condition that it does not go public shows Edward Kenway sailing a ship on the upgraded Anvil Engine.

I put that game on hold near the end of the story to mop up the POI and never got back to finish. Bad habit for me and open world games.

Why not just make a Black Flag 2, you stupid motherfuckers?

Black Flag is a great pirate game but a TERRIBLE Assassin's Creed game. This thing could be your next megaton franchise if you just drop the Assassin's Creed stuff and focus on the pirate life. And not make it a GaaS.

Modern ubisoft doesn't know how to do that anymore, just look at Skull & Bones. I know that game was supposed to be different because multiplayer, but still, we went from a great AAA single player game to a AAAA that cost 850 million and look and plays like a mobile game.

I'm sure this remake will be worse than the original if it really exists.
 
To piss off Bloodbourne fans. Honestly I thought I did enjoy BF as the only AC that I've ever bought. But when they did give away the DLC in PSPlus or something like that trying to go back to that kind of game seemed impossible. I gave up on the DLC after just a few minutes. I think I like BF better in my memories, and I'll let it stay there.
 
I love Black Flag so I don't mind a remake at all, but man I wish they'd give Connor another chance with a sequel and then an Haytham game to complete the Kenway saga.
I was never a AC3 hater, I actually really liked it back when it came out, but replaying it a decade later makes me appreciate that game even more, I understand teenage kids being underwhelmed with a character like Connor after having Ezio for 3 previous entries, but goddamn the writing in AC (outside the modern story) was at its absolute peak in the Revelations/AC3/Black Flag era.
 
Can't make new things good anymore so just shit out old ones with slightly better textures. Good god I fucking hate this generation of games.
 
Add the Rogue maps please. Nobody cares about that story but the frozen North Atlantic, river and New York maps were beyond kino.
 
This was around when I dropped Assassin's Creed. I don't really see the need for a remaster of it but if it can run on my Steam Deck I'd pick it up. I didn't hate AC3 but by the time Black Flag came out I was getting tired of the series.

I'd much rather they spent this investment into remaking the entire Sands of Time trilogy instead of just the Sands of Time but I get that I'm probably in the minority there lol.
 
FFS. Stop just fucking stop.

I played black flag a few weeks ago. It looks just fine. Better than fine.

Artistic bankruptcy 101
 
God who the fuck cares?

You know you're scraping the bottom when you're just randomly remaking the "high" points of a long played out series.

Stop buying this shit people
 
I care.. Its my favorite AC game and I'd love to go back to it, but its showing its age badly. A remake is much wanted.
 
Also, november 2025 is not "much sooner than we all thought", what the fuck are you talking about?
 
How can we salvage the boredom that the AC franchise became?

By bringing back the GOAT Assassin's Creed game.

Still, another remake, so yeah, not that exciting.
