Rumored Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Details Emerge
Recent online reports suggest a remake of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is in development, leveraging Ubisoft's Anvil engine. This highly anticipated remake, while unconfirmed by Ubisoft, is rumored to boast significant enhancements.
The critically acclaimed Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, renowned for its pirate theme and stunning Caribbean setting, remains a fan favorite nearly twelve years after its initial release. A modernized version utilizing current hardware capabilities would undoubtedly excite many players.
Speculation surrounding a Black Flag remake has persisted for some time, with previous reports indicating a potential 2024 release, later delayed due to the postponement of Assassin's Creed Shadows. While Ubisoft remains officially silent, new details have surfaced.
A report by MP1st, citing an unnamed developer's website, claims the remake will utilize the Anvil engine and include revamped combat mechanics and enhanced wildlife ecosystems. Specific details remain scarce, but the scope appears more extensive than initially anticipated.
Potential for an Ambitious Remake
This isn't the only significant leak from MP1st; they also revealed details about a rumored Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake. The Oblivion remake is said to feature improved combat (including a Soulslike blocking system), and enhancements to stamina, stealth, and archery.
The timing of announcements for both remakes remains uncertain. Ubisoft's current focus is on Assassin's Creed Shadows, recently delayed to March 2025. Following the release and any planned post-launch content for Shadows, a Black Flag remake announcement, potentially targeting a 2026 release, seems plausible.
However, this information stems from leaks and rumors. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, fans should approach these claims with caution.
