Arguably the best Assassin’s Creed game is set to make a comeback courtesy of an upcoming remake for current-gen consoles and PC.

After a divisive third mainline entry, Ubisoft upped its game with the release of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag in 2013.

The game was praised for its story, characters and setting, not to mention the introduction of sailing elements that would inspire the eventual release of Skull and Bones.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag was so well received that fans have been calling for a remake for years.

If the latest reports are to be believed, then fans are finally about to get the news they’ve been waiting for, as Ubisoft gets ready to announce a current-gen version of the popular action-adventure game.

According to Insider Gaming’s Mike Straw on a recent podcast, the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake should be announced at some point in April.

This means we’re just over a month away from seeing footage from the latest remake from Ubisoft.

It’s believed the Black Flag remake will launch in 2027, although exact dates are likely to be revealed when the game is officially announced by Ubisoft.

In terms of what fans can expect from the game, the remake is almost certain to feature improved visuals and frame-rates, not to mention various quality of life upgrades.

There are also rumours of new content, as well as changes to the map and the same weather system used in AC Shadows.

The original Black Flag sees players take control of pirate Captain Edward Kenway.

It features appearances from famous pirates like Blackbeard and Charles Vane, and takes place in locations such as Havana, Nassau, and Kingston.

“You are Captain Edward Kenway, a pirate among assassins,” reads the official description.

“Set sail for a unique adventure in the Caribbean where you will live by your own rules, explore uncharted islands and discover the gritty life of the legendary outlaws of the 18th century.”
