A new report has claimed that the supposed Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake will launch before March 31, 2026.
According to an Insider Gaming story (corroborated by Eurogamer), the information came to light after Ubisoft’s earnings report was finally released. The report–which the company delayed at the last minute so it could “finalize the closing of the semester,” per CFO Frederick Duguet–mentioned that one “unannounced game” will come out before the end of Ubisoft’s fiscal year ending on March 31, 2026. Insider Gaming claims this blanked-out game in the report is the Black Flag remake and that it will release during the week of March 23.
Ubisoft hasn’t commented on the report, nor has the company publicly announced anything yet, but there has been a lot of information about the game circulating since its apparent early leaks in June 2023. A Pure Arts livestream from March 2025 may have confirmed its existence, Edward Kenway voice actor Matt Ryan hinted at the game in June 2025, and whenever it does drop, it apparently won’t feature modern-day sections but will include additional story content. The rumor mill is a-turning, and if accurate, it’s only a matter of time before Ubisoft officially announces the game.
This is exciting news for fans of the series! A remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag could bring a fresh experience to both new players and long-time fans. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!
Absolutely! It’s great to see that the classic game might get a fresh take. Fans are really hoping for improved graphics and maybe even some new gameplay mechanics to enhance the experience. It’ll be interesting to see how they balance nostalgia with innovation!
