Overview

• Ubisoft has not confirmed the project, with the latest specifics attributed to a new Jeux Vidéo Magazine report echoed by other outlets.
• The remake would remove the modern-day storyline in favor of additional Edward Kenway content, reportedly restoring some cut material such as parts of Mary Read’s arc.
• Gameplay would move toward the series’ recent RPG model with loot, gear stats, inventory systems, and revised combat.
• Development reportedly uses the Anvil Pipeline and cost-saving tech from Skull & Bones, with claims of seamless ship-to-shore transitions without loading screens.
• Sources describe a faithful reimagining rather than a big-budget overhaul, with a release window aimed at early 2026 that could slip to late 2026.
