Overview

• Voice actor Matt Ryan asked a fan at a Chicago convention if they’d beaten Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag before hinting they “may have to beat it again,” a remark widely interpreted as teasing an unannounced remake.
• Ubisoft has not officially confirmed a Black Flag remake despite CEO Yves Guillemot’s previous statement that multiple Assassin’s Creed titles are being modernized.
• March livestream comments from Pure Arts staff suggested upcoming Edward Kenway figures would “reflect” changes, inadvertently stoking community speculation over a remake.
• Insider Tom Henderson reported in October 2024 that the remake was originally slated for November 2025 but has likely shifted into 2026 following delays to Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
• A recent Ubisoft France social post revisiting the original Black Flag title added fresh momentum to enduring rumors of a full remake for modern consoles.
