Exciting news has surfaced for fans of the Assassin's Creed series: a remake of the beloved Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag may be on the horizon. Known for its captivating pirate theme and stunning Caribbean open world, Black Flag has long been a fan favorite within Ubisoft's acclaimed franchise. With nearly 12 years having passed since its initial release, the prospect of revisiting this classic with modern hardware enhancements is thrilling for many.
Rumors about an Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake have been circulating for some time. Initially, there were whispers that the game might launch this year, but delays related to Assassin's Creed Shadows have pushed back these expectations. While Ubisoft has yet to officially confirm the Black Flag remake, new details have recently leaked online, adding fuel to the speculation.
According to a report by MP1st, which cites information from a developer's site, the Black Flag remake will be developed using the Anvil Engine. This remake is expected to introduce new combat mechanics and enriched ecosystems around wildlife, suggesting a more ambitious project than some might have anticipated.

The same source, MP1st, also uncovered details about another rumored remake, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. This project is said to feature enhanced combat with a Soulslike-inspired blocking system, along with improvements to stamina, stealth, archery, and more. Although there was anticipation that the Oblivion remake might be announced at the Xbox Developer Direct on January 23, those hopes were not realized.
Currently, the timeline for announcing both the Black Flag and Oblivion remakes remains uncertain. Ubisoft's immediate focus is on Assassin's Creed Shadows, which has faced another delay, moving its release from February 2025 to March 2025. Plans for post-launch expansions for Shadows are also in the works. Once these are completed, it's speculated that Ubisoft might shift its attention to promoting the Black Flag remake, potentially targeting a 2026 launch. However, all these details are based on leaks and rumors, and fans should remain cautious until Ubisoft officially confirms the project.
