The rumors surrounding a potential Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remaster just won’t slow down. Fresh signs suggest that Ubisoft may indeed be preparing to bring Edward Kenway’s pirate adventure back for modern platforms.

According to new findings, additional references tied to Black Flag have surfaced, further fueling speculation that a refreshed version of the 2013 classic is in development. While Ubisoft has yet to make anything official, industry watchers have noticed backend updates and subtle hints that align with earlier reports of a remaster project in the works.

The idea of revisiting Black Flag isn’t exactly surprising. The game remains one of the most beloved entries in the long-running franchise, praised for its naval combat, open-world exploration, and charismatic lead character. For many fans, it represents the peak of the series’ pirate fantasy—blending traditional Assassin’s Creed stealth mechanics with ship battles and Caribbean freedom.

Over the past few years, Ubisoft has leaned heavily into remakes and remasters across its portfolio, and Assassin’s Creed is no stranger to re-releases. With the franchise continuing to expand through new RPG-style entries and upcoming projects like Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, revisiting one of its most iconic titles would make strategic sense—especially if modernized with improved visuals, performance upgrades, and quality-of-life enhancements.

There’s also the broader industry trend to consider. Publishers are increasingly tapping into nostalgia-driven releases, particularly for games that originally launched during the PS3 and Xbox 360 era. A current-gen version of Black Flag could easily find a new audience while giving longtime fans a reason to return to the high seas.

For now, it’s still firmly in rumor territory. But with mounting evidence stacking up, the chances of Captain Kenway setting sail once again seem stronger than ever.
