Gaming outlet Mp1st has revealed that Ubisoft is currently working on multiple remakes of classic Assassin’s Creed titles, with the fan-favorite Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag reportedly among them. Ubisoft has not officially announced these projects at this time.
More Than Just a Visual Upgrade
According to Mp1st’s reporting, the Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remake will go beyond mere graphical enhancements. The remake is said to involve substantial upgrades to gameplay mechanics and various other elements that made the original game a standout in the franchise.
Technical and Gameplay Improvements
Sources indicate the game is being developed using an upgraded version of Ubisoft’s proprietary Anvil engine. The remake reportedly aims to modernize not only the visual aspects but also enhance combat systems and the wildlife ecosystem that was groundbreaking when the original game launched.
The development team’s ambition, according to the report, is to revitalize this classic title as a “next-gen triple-A game” by implementing these new systems.
Potential Release Timeline
While the project appears to be well underway, the timeline remains somewhat flexible. The report suggests the game could launch as early as November 2025, though development challenges with “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows” might push the release into 2026.
The Future of Assassin’s Creed
This news arrives as Ubisoft continues to map out the franchise’s future. As previously reported, “Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe” is confirmed to be the next mainline title following “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.” Codename Hexe will reportedly take the series in a new direction with a mysterious role-playing experience set during the historical Witch Trials period.
