Fake ‘Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remake’ Screenshots
Excitement for a potential remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag hit a temporary high recently when images purporting to be leaked screenshots surfaced online. However, the hope for an early look was short-lived, as trusted insiders have swiftly confirmed the images are fake.
The screenshots, which were shared on Reddit and other social platforms, depicted protagonist Edward Kenway exploring vibrant, colonial-era streets and interiors. While they generated initial buzz among fans of the classic 2013 pirate adventure, skepticism arose quickly. Many observers noted the visuals closely resembled heavily modded versions of other games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Witcher 3, rather than a new, official project.
The doubts were confirmed when reputable Assassin’s Creed leakers, including Rafiti and j0nathan, weighed in. Both stated they did not believe the images were legitimate, effectively shutting down the rumor. This incident highlights the growing challenge of distinguishing between real leaks and sophisticated fakes, especially with the rise of AI-generated imagery.
Despite this disappointment for fans, the core rumor—that a Black Flag remake is in development—remains alive. Multiple reliable sources have consistently indicated the project is real and in the works at Ubisoft. Recent reports suggest that while the remake’s map may not be significantly larger than the original, it will be denser, with more activities and reasons to explore the high seas.

For now, the community’s best approach is cautious optimism. While the desire to see Edward Kenway’s adventures remade with modern technology is strong, official information from Ubisoft is likely still far off. Until then, any “leaks” should be met with a healthy dose of scrutiny.
