The mythical pirate journey of Assassin’s Creed could be much closer to returning than we thought. According to information leaked by Insider Gaming, Ubisoft is preparing the announcement and launch of the remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag before March 31, 2026. The project has not been publicly presented yet, but it has been circulating internally at Ubisoft for years and its development is already in a very advanced stage.
The report comes just after Ubisoft published its delayed financial report, which includes a single unrevealed game scheduled for this fiscal year. According to the same source, that title would be the return of Edward Kenway, with a release window marked for the week of March 23, 2026.
A highly anticipated remake: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake
According to Insider Gaming, the remake of Black Flag is the only project on the calendar that has not been discovered yet, and it accompanies already announced releases like Rainbow Six Mobile, The Division: Resurgence, or Anno 117: Pax Romana. The source points out that Ubisoft sees this return as one of its strongest releases for the end of the fiscal year.
Although Ubisoft has not officially confirmed the existence of the project, this medium has been publishing details about its development for over a year, including reports of profound changes in its structure to bring it towards a more modern approach. According to a leaker cited by the medium itself, this new version would have a more role-oriented profile, with expanded systems compared to the original game released in 2013.
Either way, Black Flag remains one of the most beloved titles in the saga for its naval setting, the exploration of the Caribbean, and the figure of Edward Kenway. If these plans come to fruition, its return would be one of the biggest attractions in Ubisoft’s catalog for 2026… and great news for Xbox Series players who are eager to see how the Caribbean seas look with current technology.
