Reports Detail Overhauled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Remake Aiming for Early 2026

A French outlet’s leak outlines a shift to RPG-style systems and the removal of present-day scenes, and Ubisoft says it has nothing to share.

Overview

  • Ubisoft Singapore is reportedly leading development with support from Ubisoft Bordeaux and Ubisoft Belgrade.
  • Multiple reports say modern-day segments are being cut and replaced with roughly four hours of pirate-era content, including restored Mary Read material.
  • The remake is said to adopt RPG-style progression with loot, gear stats, inventory changes, and revamped combat closer to recent series entries.
  • Sources claim it uses the latest Anvil engine for seamless sailing and land traversal, expands activities on smaller islands, and reuses some Skull & Bones assets to reduce costs.
  • The project is reportedly targeting an early 2026 launch, likely March, though sources warn the date could slip, and Ubisoft has not confirmed the game.
