Numerous rumors and leaks related to the project have been circulating online. According to unofficial information, the game may be released in late 2025 or early 2026.
The topic of the remake was unexpectedly raised by Ubisoft Brasil, responding to a fan's post. The player wrote that they dream of seeing Assassin’s Creed Unity in 60 frames per second, to which the French responded with a short remark: "Players fall asleep and wake up thinking about AC Unity in 60 fps (or a Black Flag remake)." This is a direct mention of the project that has long been discussed in the community.
This is the first time a Ubisoft division has publicly mentioned the Black Flag Remake, immediately sparking rumors of an imminent announcement.
There is no official announcement yet, but it is possible that development is in full swing, and Ubisoft is preparing the ground for the presentation of one of the most anticipated remakes in the history of the series.
