Ubisoft Reportedly Plans To Remake Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag

Ubisoft’s showcase this summer was a clear indication that it is going to be all in on Assassin’s Creed. A recent report by Kotaku suggests that the company’s commitment to the franchise might be going even deeper than we thought; Ubisoft has recently begun the process of remaking Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. 

The remake of the film is in “its early stages,” Kotaku Reports are sparse, which means we will not see it until a couple of years. Ubisoft Singapore’s branch, which has worked on almost all of the mainline Assassin’s Creed games, is believed to have a large role in this project. Most notably, Ubisoft Singapore worked on the creation of naval combat for Assassin’s Creed III and IV, a success that would place them at the head of development for Ubisoft’s naval-focused game, Skull and Bones. Of course, Skull and Bones is now notorious for its years of repeated delays – fans of Black Flag will just have to hope the seas will be calmer for the studio’s next project.

Black Flag came out in 2013 at the dawn of a brand new console generation. It was available on PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as PS4, Xbox One and Wii U. The game follows Edward Kenway – the pirate grandfather of the protagonist Connor from Assassin’s Creed III – as he plunders the Caribbean and stumbles into the Assassin Brotherhood. This game is widely considered to be one of the best in the series, combining classic stealth with naval exploration and battle. Here’s our review.
