A new social media post from Ubisoft’s official UK account has ignited speculation among fans that the long-rumored Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remake may finally be on the horizon.
The cryptic tweet posted on X (formerly Twitter) references “re-experiencing Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag after losing your memory” — a nod that many interpret as more than a meme. With no official confirmation from Ubisoft, fans are reading between the lines, suspecting this could be the first teaser of an imminent announcement.
🕵️♂️ The Origins of the Rumor
Rumors of a remake date back to June 2023, when Kotaku reported that sources close to Ubisoft confirmed early development on a remake of the fan-favorite 2013 title. The remake was said to be in its infancy, with Ubisoft Singapore — the studio behind Skull & Bones — rumored to be contributing to the project.
At the time, sources suggested the remake would take a few years to develop, with a potential release window still several years off. Almost two years have passed, and while no official word has emerged, Ubisoft’s latest social media activity has reignited the conversation.
📰 More Hints in 2024
In a 2024 follow-up report by Insider Gaming, it was revealed that the Assassin’s Creed 4 remake had been internally delayed beyond its original 2025 launch target. Although the new timeline remains unclear, fans began to lose hope — until now.
As pointed out by TheGamer, the recent post’s choice of words and timing — paired with Ubisoft’s silence on the subject — have renewed belief that something is brewing behind the scenes.
🏴☠️ Why Black Flag Matters
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is often hailed as one of the franchise’s best entries, blending naval exploration with a rich pirate-themed narrative centered around Edward Kenway. Its legacy has endured over a decade, making it a prime candidate for a full-scale remake in the modern era of gaming.
Given Ubisoft’s recent efforts to honor its legacy — such as with Assassin’s Creed Mirage — fans see this potential remake as a natural next step.
Ubisoft has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, but with this new post stirring the waters, speculation is at an all-time high. Whether it’s a well-placed meme or a deliberate tease, fans of Assassin’s Creed 4 are hopeful that Edward Kenway is preparing to set sail once more.
Stay tuned for updates as the story unfolds — and keep your spyglasses trained on Ubisoft.
