Assassin's Creed Account Hints at 'Black Flag' Remake Following Edward Kenway Statue Leak

The remake remains unannounced, with reporting pointing to a delay rather than a cancellation.

Overview

  • Ubisoft’s official Assassin’s Creed account replied to a leaked Edward Kenway statue post with the GTA: San Andreas “Ah s**t, here we go again” meme, signaling a cheeky nod to long-running remake rumors.
  • The statue first surfaced via a Vinted listing and close-up images reportedly show Ubisoft and PureArts logos with a 2026 copyright mark.
  • Outlets note that prior leaks, including a PEGI entry, suggest a working title of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, though Ubisoft has not confirmed any details.
  • Industry reporting indicates the project was pushed back from an early 2026 target in the wake of company restructuring, with sources characterizing the move as a delay rather than a cancellation.
  • The meme reply drew criticism from some fans on X, with responses referencing frustration over recent cancellations such as the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake.
