At this point, it’s hard to argue otherwise. The Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake has become one of the worst-kept secrets in the industry. For months, Ubisoft’s game has been the subject of leaks confirming its existence, despite the lack of an official announcement from the developers. While the studio may have hoped to delay the reveal, it seems fans won’t have to wait much longer for the official confirmation.
The announcement of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake is near
At least, that’s what Mike Straw, a journalist at Insider Gaming, claimed in the latest episode of the media outlet’s weekly podcast. According to the media sources, the remake of Black Flag is quietly continuing development despite the turmoil at Ubisoft, and should be officially announced sometime in April. This aligns with recent reports from another insider, shinobi602, who also suggested that the announcement is « not far off. »
Many fans had hoped that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag would be featured in last week’s hour-long State of Play broadcast. However, as the insider pointed out before the event, Ubisoft had no plans to reveal the game during the PlayStation event, which instead focused on the return of Rayman via an anniversary edition of the first game. While the news was well-received by the community, Assassin’s Creed fans are beginning to grow impatient.
According to shinobi602, Ubisoft has already set both the announcement and release dates for the remake internally, although these details remain unconfirmed. This could actually be a blessing in disguise, as the publisher’s plans have been somewhat unreliable lately. The recent restructuring, which reportedly delayed the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake, is evidence of this. But as the saying goes, « Good things come to those who wait », so patience will be key.
