Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remaster
After years of rumors, leaks, and winks from the original game’s voice actor, Ubisoft’s stubborn silence on Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag has finally been broken—not by a press release or a flashy trailer, but by an Amazon product page. A listing for an official art book titled “Art/Assassins Creed Black Flag Remaster” has appeared on Amazon UK, seemingly confirming the project’s existence and offering our strongest hint yet at a release window .
The book, published by Titan Books, is scheduled for release on March 24, 2026. It is listed as a 224-page hardcover volume featuring concept art and illustrations . This is significant because Titan has been Ubisoft’s long-standing publishing partner for Assassin’s Creed art books since 2012, having produced official companion volumes for Unity, Syndicate, Origins, and Odyssey . Historically, these books have dropped either alongside the game or shortly after launch.
The Amazon leak suggests a March release would have been the original plan. However, there is immediate cause for caution regarding that date.
In late January, Ubisoft announced a major corporate restructuring that resulted in the cancellation of several titles—including the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake—and the delay of seven unannounced games into the next financial year (FY27, which runs through March 2027) . Trusted industry insiders, including Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming, have specifically identified the Black Flag remake as one of the delayed titles. It was reportedly planned for a March 19, 2026 launch, a date that has now been pushed back by up to a year .
This places the art book in an awkward position. Publishing schedules are set months in advance, and it is entirely plausible that Titan Books could not shift the art book’s March 24 release date even as Ubisoft’s internal roadmap for the game itself slipped backward.
The naming convention also remains a point of confusion. The Amazon listing uses the word “Remaster,” while recent PEGI ratings board listings and persistent insider reports have pointed toward the game being titled Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced—suggesting a more substantial ground-up remake rather than a simple resolution bump .
With speculation mounting that a PlayStation State of Play could occur imminently, some fans hoped Ubisoft might finally put everyone out of their misery with an official reveal. However, given Ubisoft’s preference for controlling its own messaging and the reported internal delays, it now seems more likely the company will wait for its own dedicated showcase.

What is no longer in doubt is that Edward Kenway’s pirate epic is coming back. The question has shifted from “if” to “when.” The March 24 art book date is now firmly on the calendar. Whether the game follows close behind it, or arrives much later, remains Ubisoft’s best-kept secret—one they accidentally came very close to spilling.
