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, promises enhanced gameplay features.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, a beloved entry in the franchise, is renowned for its pirate theme, stunning Caribbean setting, and blend of stealth and action. A remake utilizing modern technology would undoubtedly excite fans, especially given the game's near-decade-long presence.
While previous rumors hinted at a 2024 release, potentially delayed by Assassin's Creed Shadows' postponement, new details have surfaced. A report by MP1st, citing an unnamed developer's website, indicates the remake will utilize the Anvil engine and include revamped combat mechanics and enriched wildlife ecosystems. Specific details remain scarce, but the scope appears more extensive than initially anticipated.
A More Ambitious Remake Than Expected
This isn't the only significant leak from MP1st. They also revealed information about a rumored Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, featuring enhanced combat (including a Soulslike-inspired blocking system) and improvements to stamina, stealth, and archery.
The timing of announcements for both remakes remains uncertain. Ubisoft's current focus is on Assassin's Creed Shadows, recently delayed to March 2025. Following the game's launch and any planned expansions, a Black Flag remake announcement, potentially targeting a 2026 release, seems plausible. However, until official confirmation from Ubisoft, all claims should be treated as speculation.
