Overview
- Ubisoft will stream a Worldwide Reveal Showcase on Thursday at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET on YouTube and Twitch.
- In the lead‑up, brief trailer clips and screenshots leaked online showing sharper character models, improved lighting, and naval scenes with Edward Kenway.
- A leaked announcement deck reported by multiple outlets lists July 9, 2026 as the launch and says the project is a solo, character‑driven game rather than an RPG, and Ubisoft has not confirmed a date.
- Industry reports describe a full remake on a modern Anvil engine with new missions and other additions, and select press reportedly saw early briefings last week.
- Black Flag debuted in 2013 and is one of the series’ most popular entries for its pirate setting and ship combat, and fresh reporting suggests Ubisoft may pursue more Assassin’s Creed remakes depending on this release’s performance.
