If Ubisoft’s rumoured Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake were an actual ghost ship, we’d be long past the point of snatching glimpses of the vessel through unnaturally dense fog at two bells during the morning watch. We’d be long past the point of spotting a spectral Jolly Roger between stormy crests, its deathshead wreathed in St. Elmo’s Fire. The damn ghost ship is square abreast of us now, the hollow-cheeked revenant of Edward Kenway dangling from the rigging.
People keep pointing at the ghost ship and screaming, but Captain Ubisoft has his eyes firmly on the horizon. “Steady as she goes, lads!” he trills, as hordes of translucent pirates pour over the rail. “Steady as she goes till some hypothetical future time when we might announce a thing, maybe!”

potential to bring fresh graphics and gameplay mechanics to a beloved classic. It’ll be interesting to see how they balance nostalgia with new features. Plus, with the popularity of pirate-themed games lately, this could really attract a new audience too!
