Ubisoft preparing for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake announcement

The long awaited announcement of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Remake is nearing. Following on from recent comments from a main cast voice actor, fans have begun spotting mysterious changes to the Black Flag Steam page, indicating that a major update is in the works. 

As spotted by The Hidden One, the Steam Store page for Assassin's Creed Black Flag has had a number of updates recently, listing features that were not present in the original game. That list includes things like mouse-only gameplay, adjustable difficulty, manual save functionality and more.

It is speculated that these are features implemented in the remake. These appearing in the back-end for the original game's Steam page makes sense, as the original game listing is likely to be replaced with the remake once it is ready. Ubisoft has done this before with Assassin's Creed 2, with the classic game no longer available to be purchased and replaced by the remaster on all storefronts.

This news follows a recent tease from Matt Ryan, the voice of Edward Kenway, the main protagonist for Assassin's Creed Black Flag. At the rate things are going, we are expecting to see Ubisoft announce the remake before the end of the summer.

KitGuru Says: Like many others, Black Flag was my personal favourite of the classic Assassin's Creed games. Hopefully the remake holds up, Ubisoft can't really afford to erode consumer trust any further.
