Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag remains one of the most beloved entries in Ubisoft’s long-running franchise. Set in the Golden Age of Piracy, the 2013 classic let players live out their swashbuckling fantasies as Edward Kenway, a Welsh pirate hunting for fortune across the Caribbean.
Now, a leaked screenshot has surfaced online, giving fans their first glimpse of what could be a long-awaited Black Flag remake. But with Ubisoft busy on Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Invictus, and Hexe, is this leak legit—or just an April Fool’s prank?
The Leak: A Sneak Peek at Havana
The image, shared by Twitter user TheHiddenOneAC, shows an early development build of a “Havana scene”—a key location in Black Flag. The post claimed the source was someone close to Ubisoft, but the tweet was quickly taken down, adding to the mystery.
Since the leak dropped on April 1st, skepticism is high. Still, fans are holding out hope that Ubisoft is secretly working on a remake.
Fan Reactions: Excitement vs. Skepticism
The gaming community is split:
- “I want this remaster more than GTA VI!” – Some fans are ecstatic, calling Black Flag a masterpiece that deserves a modern upgrade.
- “Just give us a 4K/60FPS patch!” – Others worry Ubisoft might “mess up” the remake and prefer a simple performance boost.
- “April Fool’s or real?” – Given the timing, many are waiting for official confirmation.
Why Fans Love Black Flag (And Want a Remake)
Black Flag stood out for:
- Epic naval battles – Sinking ships never got old.
- Open-world freedom – Exploring the Caribbean felt alive.
- Edward Kenway’s story – A rogue-turned-Assassin with depth.
A remake could modernize graphics, improve controls, and expand naval mechanics—making it a dream come true for fans.
Ubisoft’s Busy Schedule: Will a Remake Happen?
Ubisoft is already juggling multiple Assassin’s Creed projects:
- Shadows (2024) – Feudal Japan setting
- Invictus – A multiplayer-focused entry
- Hexe – A darker, witch-themed installment
Could a Black Flag remake fit into their plans? Or is this just wishful thinking?
