So much information has already been leaked about the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake that no one doubts its existence, but Ubisoft continues to remain silent and does not even hint at an updated version of the famous pirate action game.

One of the main sources of rumors about the Black Flag remake is the Insider Gaming portal, and today it reported when the game will be released!

What Is Known

According to exclusive data from Insider Gaming, the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake will definitely be released in the current financial year — by March 31, 2026. Most likely, Ubisoft plans to release the updated version of the 2013 game in the week starting March 23. Moreover, a published Ubisoft report mentioned a certain release planned for the second half of the current financial year.

According to the latest information, the main storyline of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will be expanded in the remake, the gameplay will feature more RPG elements, moving between sea and land will be seamless and won’t be accompanied by a loading screen, but the size of the open world will remain the same, although there will be more additional activities in certain locations.

However, the most significant change is that Ubisoft will completely remove all episodes set in modern-day Abstergo Corporation offices. Most gamers consider them boring, consisting of wandering through workspaces, solving simple puzzles, and searching for scattered barcodes. Moreover, since Black Flag, many parts of Assassin’s Creed have been released, and their global storyline has changed so much that the presence of such elements in the remake would be irrelevant and contradictory.
