Assassin’s Creed Black Flag voice actor teases upcoming remake

For months, we've been hearing rumours about a remake for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, as part of Ubisoft's effort to put an end to dwindling game sales. Now, one of the game's main voice actors appears to have confirmed that the remake is on the way. 

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake was first mentioned in 2023, when it was reported that the game was in the early stages of development. Two years have passed since then and now, it appears that voice actors are returning to record new voice lines. Matt Ryan, the voice of the game's main protagonist, Edward Kenway, recently teased the remake on social media.

According to VGC, Ubisoft is still working on the remake. Interestingly, despite starting development later than the other remake projects, it is looking like the Black Flag remake may hit the market before either the Prince of Persia remake (2020) or the Splinter Cell remake, which was first announced in 2021.

Ubisoft has been in trouble for the past few years, as game sales have slowed down to a crawl and new releases like Skull & Bones, Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora all failed to hit sales expectations at launch. As a result, Ubisoft took extra time with its most recent game, Assassin's Creed Shadows, which launched earlier this year to a positive reception from critics.

KitGuru Says: Ubisoft may have managed to avoid disaster with Assassin's Creed Shadows but now it needs to continue delivering on quality games at launch.
