Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Will Have New Content, No Modern-Day Sections – Rumour

by

Rumors about a remake of *Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag* pop up almost every month, and the latest report suggests significant changes. According to a video from Jeux Vidéo Magazine (reported by WCCFTech), the remake will completely remove the modern-day storyline, focusing entirely on the adventures of Edward Kenway and the game’s pirate world.

The updated version of the game will include extra quests and activities. It will also have some modern improvements, like seamless transitions from your ship to land – no more loading screens! Plus, content that was cut from the original 2013 release is being added back in. Current plans point to a release in the first six months of 2026, with March as a likely launch month.

It’s important to be cautious about these reports, as Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed they’re even making a remake of *Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag*. However, rumors about a remake have been circulating since 2023. These reports suggest it won’t just be a visual upgrade – it’s expected to be a completely rebuilt game using a modern version of Ubisoft’s Anvil engine.

Recent hints about a possible remake surfaced when artists from Play Arts, a company that makes official merchandise, casually mentioned during a live stream that they were working on something related to the character Edward.

During a discussion about why they weren’t showing a figure of Edward Kenway from *Assassin’s Creed Black Flag*, one host mentioned there was news about Edward Kenway. Another host quickly asked if that information had been made public yet.

The first artist confirmed hearing rumors about something happening with Edward, saying, “I’m pretty sure I saw an article about it.” They added that their upcoming 1/8th scale PVC statue would reflect these developments.

Rumors gained more traction after Matt Ryan, the voice actor for Edward Kenway, hinted at a possible return to *Black Flag*. While signing an autograph for a fan who mentioned having already played the game, Ryan jokingly suggested the fan might need to play it again soon, implying a re-release or remaster could be on the way.

In July, SteamDB noticed updates to the Steam page for *Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag*, suggesting new features were being added to the game.
