New Assassin's Creed Black Flag Redux Rumors Emerge

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Remake Details Emerge

Recent online leaks suggest a remake of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is in development, leveraging Ubisoft's Anvil Engine. This highly anticipated remake, while unconfirmed by Ubisoft, promises enhanced gameplay features.

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

While previous reports hinted at a 2024 release, potentially delayed by Assassin's Creed Mirage's postponement, official confirmation from Ubisoft is still pending. New information, however, has surfaced.

A report by MP1st, citing an unnamed developer's website, details the remake's use of the Anvil Engine and the inclusion of revamped combat mechanics and enriched wildlife ecosystems. Specific details remain scarce, but the scope suggests a more substantial undertaking than initially anticipated.

Beyond Black Flag: Oblivion Remake Rumors Persist

MP1st's leak extends beyond Black Flag, also revealing details about a rumored Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake. This purported remake features enhanced combat incorporating a Soulslike-inspired blocking system, along with improvements to stamina, stealth, and archery. While hopes for an announcement at the January 23rd Xbox Developer Direct were dashed, the Oblivion remake remains a possibility.

Release Timing Remains Uncertain

The release windows for both the Black Flag and Oblivion remakes remain unconfirmed. Ubisoft's current focus is on Assassin's Creed Mirage, recently delayed to March 2025. Following its release and any planned post-launch content, a Black Flag remake launch in 2026 seems plausible, but this is purely speculative. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, fans should treat these leaks as unverified rumors.
