After almost a year of fans thinking Ubisoft could be gearing up to finally announce an Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake, a new web domain has fans thinking Ubisoft could be gearing up to finally announce a Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake.
When it comes to Assassin's Creed games and games that share a name with 80s punk bands, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is probably the best in both categories. And given the "remake the best one" approach has worked well for Konami with the likes of Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, it's no shock that Ubisoft is seemingly tackling the piracy adventure. But despite a 2025 filled with age ratings, hints from voice actors, statue makers, and even a leaked title, the remake is still MIA.

The (unofficial) Assassin's Creed News Twitter account posted a new wrinkle in the remake's tale, showing that there is a domain for "ASSASSINSCREEDBLACKFLAGRESYNCED.COM" which matches the supposed name of the remake, per a PEGI age rating.
They ponder what everyone else is thinking: "I'm really curious when Ubisoft will officially announce it." Meanwhile, another user is getting frustrated with the wait, asking Ubisoft "what exactly are you waiting for us to not give a shit anymore?" However, one theorizes that its tied to the recent Edward Kenway webtoon being released.
Looking up the details of the domain reveal that it was registered by Gandi – a French company which provides domain registrations. Notably, Ubisoft has used this company before for its websites for Assassin's Creed Shadows and Mirage. Currently it's unverified whether Ubisoft owns this particular domain, but given the same company is listed and the litany of leaks otherwise, I'd say there's a good chance.
The domain was created on December 9, and was last updated on the same day (the update referred to by the Assassin's Creed News account appears to be for the domain database more widely). For what it's worth, this is the same date that the PEGI age rating for the so-called Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced surfaced online, before being quickly deleted.
Rumors pointed to the remake releasing before the end of March 2026, so if that is still (or rather, ever was) the case, Ubisoft is running out of time to reveal the remake, unless it plans to pull an Oblivion Remastered and shadow drop the remake with its announcement in true stealthy fashion. And given the stealth in Assassin's Creed has never been its strongest suit, it's perhaps even more fitting that Ubisoft has seemingly done a terrible job of keeping this one quiet.
Like Skull and Bones, Assassin's Creed Shadows and Mirage are "AAAA" games, Ubisoft producer claims.
