Long-rumoured Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake officially announced

For quite some time now we’ve been hearing that Ubisoft is working on a full blown remake of their fan-favourite Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. With multiple in-development projects being cancelled at Ubisoft recently however, the game’s future was somewhat unknown. In a surprise franchise update, Ubisoft have now officially confirmed that a Black Flag remake is in the works – though details still remain sparse.

As part of a blog post detailing the future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise in the wake of its recent developer shake-ups, Ubisoft took time to tease what we’ve ‘known’ for a while: that a remake of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is in the works, writing:

“Speculation around Assassin's Creed is not new, but it's worth repeating: ‘Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.’ Well, except in this case, some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon.”

Alongside this teaser, the team shared the first piece of concept art for the remake, confirming that it will be called AC: Black Flag Resynced.

As mentioned, we’ve gotten a bunch of different leaks over the years discussing various aspects of this remake. As noted however, the company has recently undergone a great deal of restructuring, and so it’s likely that Resynced could be quite different from how previous leaks described it.

We will have to wait and see, but finally, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is officially real and coming at some point in the future. The full blogpost, including the confirmation that AC: Unity is getting a 60fps patch on console, can be found HERE.
