Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake: Rumors & Hints!
The Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake is generating buzz once again, with a collectible statue maker hinting at its imminent arrival. The buzz around a potential remake is building momentum.
PureArts, known for their detailed figurines and busts of video game characters, recently teased the possibility of the remake during a livestream showcasing their latest Assassin's Creed merchandise. Representatives subtly indicated that the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake might be unveiled soon, stating that "there is something going on."
During the livestream, fans noticed the absence of Edward Kenway, the protagonist of Black Flag, from PureArts' new collection. This prompted a presenter to acknowledge the situation, explaining that the company was deliberately holding back on releasing a new Edward Kenway figure due to a specific, undisclosed reason.
“Assassin’s Creed fans out there, you should be aware there is something going on with Edward," the presenter stated, further fueling speculation. The presenter even mentioned seeing articles and rumors about the project.
What We Know About the Black Flag Remake So Far
While an official announcement from Ubisoft is still pending, numerous reports over the past few years have hinted at the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake's development. It is rumored that Ubisoft Singapore, the studio behind Skull and Bones (which itself originated as a Black Flag spin-off), is leading the project.
It's also expected that the remake will be more than just a simple remaster. Fans anticipate visual fidelity comparable to the recent Assassin's Creed Shadows, along with enhanced wildlife and combat mechanics. Could this be the definitive pirate Assassin's Creed experience?
Edward Kenway's New Look?
The suggestion by PureArts that its new Edward statue would "reflect" the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake launch further suggests that the beloved character might receive a visual update. What kind of changes could be in store for Kenway's appearance?
Ubisoft, when contacted for comment, stated that they "do not comment on rumors or speculation." This silence, however, only fuels the fire of speculation surrounding the highly anticipated remake.
Release Date Speculation
With no brand-new Assassin's Creed title slated for release this year, many fans believe that the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake is strategically positioned for a holiday season release. This would give players a fresh experience while awaiting the future of the franchise.
In the meantime, Assassin's Creed Shadows is scheduled to receive its first major post-launch expansion, Claws of Awaji, likely in September. This will provide fans with content to enjoy while they eagerly await news on the potential remake.
The Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake remains unconfirmed, but the continuous stream of rumors and hints suggests that an official announcement might be on the horizon. The possibility of revisiting this beloved title with modern graphics and gameplay enhancements has fans eagerly anticipating what Ubisoft has in store.
