New 'Assassin's Creed Black Flag' Remake Leaked

Rumored Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Details Emerge

Recent online reports suggest a remake of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is in development, leveraging the Anvil engine. This highly anticipated remake, while unconfirmed by Ubisoft, is rumored to boast significant enhancements.

The critically acclaimed Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, renowned for its pirate theme, stunning Caribbean setting, and blend of stealth and action, remains a fan favorite. Nearly twelve years after its initial release, a modernized version utilizing current-generation hardware is highly sought after.

While previous reports hinted at a 2024 release, potentially delayed by Assassin's Creed Mirage's postponement, Ubisoft remains officially silent. New information, however, has surfaced.

A report by MP1st, citing an unnamed developer's website, indicates the remake will utilize the Anvil engine and introduce enhanced wildlife ecosystems and refined combat mechanics. Specific details remain scarce, but the scope appears more extensive than initially anticipated.

Beyond Black Flag: Oblivion Remake Rumors Persist

MP1st's leak also includes details on a rumored Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, featuring Soulslike-inspired combat enhancements, improved stamina, stealth, and archery systems. While hopes for an announcement at the January 23rd Xbox Developer Direct were dashed, the potential for both remakes remains.

The timing of announcements for both Black Flag and Oblivion remakes remains uncertain. Ubisoft's current focus is on Assassin's Creed Mirage, recently delayed to March 2025, and its planned post-launch content. Speculation points towards a potential Black Flag remake launch in 2026, but until official confirmation from Ubisoft, these details should be considered unconfirmed rumors.
