⚔️ The Golden Age of Piracy Is Returning — And Sooner Than Expected
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag — one of the most beloved entries in the franchise — appears set to return in fully remade form as early as March 2026, according to new reports.
Ubisoft released its latest financial results this week, outlining all titles planned before the end of the current fiscal year on March 31, 2026. Among them was one mysterious “unannounced” project scheduled for release during that window.
A new report from Insider Gaming claims that this unannounced title is in fact the long-rumoured Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Remake, and that Ubisoft is aiming for launch during the week of March 23, 2026.
While Ubisoft has not officially confirmed this, the timing aligns with previous internal development reports and long-standing rumours of a modern rebuild of the fan-favourite pirate adventure.

🏴☠️ Why Black Flag Is the Perfect Assassin’s Creed to Remake
Black Flag has remained one of the highest-rated and most replayed Assassin’s Creed titles since its 2013 debut. Fans still praise:
- Open-sea exploration with dynamic naval battles
- Rich pirate atmosphere and golden-age Caribbean locations
- Edward Kenway’s iconic character arc
- Ship upgrades, treasure hunts, and deep side content
A next-gen remake would allow Ubisoft to upgrade the experience with:
- Massive ocean and island rebuilt in modern engines
- Overhauled naval combat and ship physics
- Modern AI, animations, and world density
- Fully refreshed visuals and lighting systems
If executed well, this could be one of Ubisoft’s biggest returns to form in years.
