But extra proof of that Murderer's Creed Black Flag remake surfaces, regardless of Ubisoft's continued silence

But extra proof pointing to the existence of Ubisoft’s much-rumoured however nonetheless doggedly unannounced Murderer’s Creed Black Flag remake has surfaced, this time within the type of an official artwork ebook at the moment set to launch this March.

Experiences of a Black Flag remake first surfaced in 2023, when it was claimed the celebrated 2013 open-world pirate sport was getting the do-over remedy from Cranium and Bones developer Ubisoft Singapore. On the time, the undertaking was mentioned to nonetheless be “no less than a couple of years” away from launch.

Since then, proof of the remake’s existence has continued to mount, regardless of Ubisoft’s persistent silence. Final 12 months, as an example, actor Matt Ryan – who performed Black Flag protagonist Edward Kenway – hinted the remake was near launch, just for Ubisoft to threaten him with authorized motion.

Then, in December, one thing referred to as Murderer’s Creed Black Flag Resynced briefly appeared on the PEGI web site, rated 18 for violence, unhealthy language, and in-game purchases. But it surely did not cease there; January noticed the leak of a suspiciously timed Murderer’s Creed Black Flag collectible figurine that includes Kenway sat on a treasure chest, seemingly corroborating earlier phrase from statue maker PureArts that one thing Black Flag-y was “occurring”. We have additionally seen Black Flag sea shanties formally uploaded to YouTube, later blamed on “technical points”, and even a kind of acknowledgment-adjancet meme submit from Ubisoft’s social media group.

And now, a Black Flag artwork ebook will be tossed onto the rising proof pile. As noticed by IGN, the tome (listed beneath the title Murderer’s Creed Black Flag Remaster – Artwork Guide) was just lately added to Amazon UK with a beneficial retail value of £39.99 – at the moment £29.95 – and a launch date of twenty fourth March, 2026. Titan, an organization that is launched quite a few formally licensed Murderer’s Creed artwork books over time, is listed because the writer.

Assuming the Black Flag artwork ebook is legit, its listed launch would coincide with the unique launch window for Ubisoft’s conspicuous, and much-discussed, “unannounced sport” – a title broadly believed to be the Murderer’s Creed Black Flag remake. Nevertheless, as a part of a “main organisational, operational and portfolio reset” introduced in January, the corporate pushed the title – alongside six different unspecified video games – into its subsequent monetary 12 months, beginning April 2026, to “guarantee enhanced high quality benchmarks are absolutely met”.

That shakeup additionally noticed the cancellation of seven video games – together with Ubisoft’s troubled and long-in-the-works Worth of Persia: The Sands of Time remake – alongside the closure of two studios, the restructuring of a number of extra, and the implementation of return-to-office mandates. This week, 1,200 Ubisoft employees started a three-day strike in response to the corporate’s current strikes.
