Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remake Reportedly All but Confirmed

Late last month, a Reddit post on r/GamingLeaksAndRumours claimed to have found a localization entry in Assassin’s Creed Shadows referencing “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced,” describing it as a work of historical fiction created by a diverse team that takes creative liberties to adapt real events for an interactive medium.

That post initially passed under the radar, but whether by coincidence or foresight, the various hints now seem to be converging ahead of a potential reveal.

The Game Awards 2025 — scheduled for the night of Thursday, December 11 (or early December 12 in some time zones) — would be a logical moment for Ubisoft to unveil the project. Separately, some fans have pointed out recent backend updates to the original Black Flag on Steam and suggested those changes could be related to a remake.

Ubisoft hasn’t formally announced a Black Flag remake, though the company has confirmed that remakes of older Assassin’s Creed titles are in development. Multiple signs have hinted that Black Flag could be among them, and one report has claimed the remake might arrive before the end of March 2026.

For now, we’ll wait and watch. We contacted Ubisoft to verify whether the PEGI listing is genuine and to ask about a potential Black Flag remake, but the publisher declined to comment.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows backlash won’t stop Ubisoft from going down the dual-protagonist route in the future “if we have a good reason to do it.”
