Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake may be announced soon

We’ve heard for quite a while now that Ubisoft has been working on a full-blown remake for the much-loved Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, with claims that the title would be launching this year. Following the recent cancellation of a bunch of in-development titles however (including an almost-complete Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake), the future of the Black Flag remake seemed uncertain. Fortunately it appears as though Ubisoft is still planning to release the game this year.

Known industry leakers insider-gaming recently published a piece discussing the half a dozen games which Ubisoft recently cancelled, including multiple Assassin’s Creed titles and the aforementioned Sands of Time Remake.

While certainly a disappointment, the one silver lining seems to be the fact that the long-rumoured Black Flag Remake is still planned to release.

Initially scheduled to be revealed before the end of the fiscal year (31st of March), Black Flag will reportedly get its official unveiling in April.

Of course, as we just saw with 6 other projects, the future of this remake is not guaranteed until it is in the direct hands of players. Still, it is somewhat encouraging at the very least to learn that one of the most anticipated projects has not been unceremoniously deleted from existence.
