A new leak has turned one of the most anticipated projects from Ubisoft on its head. In the past few hours, a cyber attack on the Indonesian video game rating system has led to the leak of internal data, descriptions, and content from several games, including the remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

The incident affects the equivalent of the PEGI in that country, and the amount of leaked information has been considerable. Although not everything is confirmed, some details are starting to paint a pretty clear picture of what we might see.

The Black Flag remake would include new content and changes to the story

In the case of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, no videos or images have been leaked, but an internal description of the project has caught a lot of attention. According to that information, the remake will maintain the essence of the original, following the story of Edward Kenway in the 18th-century Caribbean, with its mix of exploration, parkour, and naval combat. But there’s more.

• It will include completely new characters
• It will add new stories within the game’s universe
• It will opt for a general modernization for 2026
• It may dispense with some of the content set in the present

This last point is especially interesting, as it would represent a significant change from the classic approach of the series. Additionally, the leak is not limited to this title. Other projects have also been affected, and there’s even talk of more sensitive material being leaked in some cases, giving an idea of the magnitude of the attack.

• For now, there’s no official confirmation of these details, so it’s best to take them with caution. Still, everything fits with previous rumors pointing to an ambitious remake, not just technically, but also with additional content.

If confirmed, this return could go far beyond a simple visual update, offering a new way to rediscover one of the most memorable Assassin’s Creed games.
