March 4Mar 4 Though Ubisoft has never confirmed the existence of an in-development remake of 2013's excellent Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, it has struggled to contain rumors that it's in the works. Between leaked art books, insider reports, and more, all signs point to it being real. Now, Ubisoft has added fuel to the fire with a pretty straightforward tease. The company released an Assassin's Creed franchise update today – read Game Informer's full report on it here – and in it, new Head of Content Jean Guesdon, who was also creative director on Black Flag, alluded to the rumored remake. "Speculation around Assassin's Creed is not new, but it's worth repeating: 'Nothing is true. Everything is permitted,'" Guesdon writes in the update. "Well, except in this case, some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon." There's also a parrot emoji at the end of the sentence, adding another measure of clarity in case you doubt that this is a Black Flag remake tease. Oh, and there's also this lil piece of art that says Assassin's Creed Black Flag: Resynced, too. There's not much else to say regarding this – that is a Black Flag remake tease if I've ever seen one, and given the quick "Keep your spyglass on the horizon" tag at the end, I'm guessing we'll be seeing this remake sooner than later. While waiting for its anticipated reveal, read Game Informer's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag review from 2013, and then read our Assassin's Creed Shadows review.
