The Assassins Creed universe is expanding, and Ubisoft might be bringing back one of its most beloved titles. Recent leaks suggest the studio is working on a full remake of Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag, sending fans into a frenzy.
Leaked Details Spark Excitement
A recent internal Ubisoft document revealed codenames for upcoming projects, including “Obsidian”—believed to be a Black Flag remake—and “Stardust”, which many speculate could be a remake of the original Assassins Creed.
The news quickly spread across gaming forums, with fans celebrating the possibility of revisiting Edward Kenway’s pirate adventures with modern graphics, smoother gameplay, and enhanced naval combat. Given Black Flag’s enduring popularity, a remake seems like a guaranteed hit.
Why a Black Flag Remake Makes Sense
Originally released in 2013, Black Flag stood out for its open-world naval exploration, ship battles, and pirate-themed storyline. While later Assassins Creed games shifted toward RPG mechanics, Black Flag remains a fan favorite for its unique setting and freedom.
A remake could improve:
- Visuals – Upgraded water physics, lighting, and character models.
- Gameplay – Smoother parkour, refined combat, and expanded ship customization.
- Content – Potential new missions or expanded islands.
Could AC1 Be Next?
The mention of “Stardust” has led to theories that Ubisoft may also be remaking the original Assassin’s Creed. While revolutionary in 2007, the first game’s repetitive missions and clunky mechanics have aged poorly—making it a prime candidate for a modern reimagining.
Fans on Reddit are already debating which classic AC titles deserve remakes most, with AC2 and Brotherhood frequently mentioned.
When Can We Expect an Official Announcement?
Ubisoft has yet to confirm these projects, but if leaks hold true, we might see:
- A Black Flag remake announcement in 2025
- A possible AC1 remake following later
With Assassin’s Creed Shadows just released, Ubisoft seems to be balancing new entries with nostalgic revivals—a strategy that could keep fans engaged for years.
