Ubisoft Reportedly Remaking Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, Focusing on Pirates

Ubisoft is reportedly working on a remake of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, the beloved pirate-centric installment in the series. The project is in its early stages and will involve Ubisoft Singapore, a studio experienced in developing ocean-related gameplay mechanics.

While specific details about the remake are still scarce. There is potential for the game to adopt a more expansive open-world RPG style. Building upon the success of recent Assassin’s Creed titles.

Skull and Bones, Ubisoft’s highly anticipated pirate game, is facing ongoing development issues. The game, which originated from an expansion of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, has encountered internal struggles, delays, and changes over the years.

Despite being announced in 2017, Skull and Bones has yet to be released, with multiple delays and no new launch date provided.

The development team is currently focused on polishing the game for an upcoming closed beta. While studio management is requiring developers to work from the office.
