Ubisoft’s long-rumored return to the Caribbean seems much closer than anyone anticipated. According to information shared with industry insiders, the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake is being positioned for release before the end of March 2026, with internal targets suggesting a debut in the final weeks of that month.
What makes this especially interesting is that Ubisoft has not publicly acknowledged the remake at all. Yet the company’s recent financial briefing mentioned one final “unannounced title” scheduled for this fiscal year and sources say that mystery game is, in fact, the Black Flag revival. Given the series’ recent momentum and the lasting popularity of Edward Kenway’s era, the timing adds up.
The project is described as a full rebuild rather than a simple upscale. The goal is reportedly to modernize the original’s naval combat, overhaul land exploration, and bring the entire world closer to the immersion level seen in Ubisoft’s newer open-world games. While no gameplay or reveal trailer has surfaced, the existence of a release window strongly suggests that the remake has moved well beyond early development.
For fans, this could mark the return of one of the franchise’s most iconic settings; a blend of piracy, exploration, ship battles, and tropical sandbox chaos that defined a generation of Assassin’s Creed players. All eyes are now on Ubisoft to see when (and how) the remake will be announced.
Stay tuned to VGNW and X, we’ll keep tracking every update, from the first official reveal to the exact launch date once Ubisoft breaks its silence.
