Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake Imminent
It's not news that Assassin's Creed Black Flag—one of the most beloved entries into the Assassin's Creed franchise—is getting a remake. Now, however, it seems as though we have a release date. According to reporting by Insider Gaming, the Assassin's Creed remake may launch as soon as March 31, 2026. This is in spite of Ubisoft's potentially rocky future, with a delayed earnings call earlier resulting in speculation that the game studio had been bought out, but had also started fully committing to a future with generative AI in games.
Ubisoft has not commented on the existence of the remake, but prior rumors suggested that it would be a remake in the more traditional sense, going so far as to suggest that the new game would rework game mechanics and transform the game by introducing more RPG gameplay elements. One of the things that made Black Flag such a rousing success was the way it handled sailing and exploration and the sheer wealth of content on offer. Meanwhile, many Assassin's Creed games that have launched since then have received criticism for their pacing and for feeling bloated.

Luckily I have the OG black flag, so I won't be investing anything in a remake that will likely cut out content or Introduce garbage
Hopefully they get sold to some other Saudi too.
I guess people have money to burn
PhysX is pretty much broken in that game which is a shame, even on a 4090 it can tank performance no matter what the resolution, so that needs sorting out, they'll probably just remove it completely.
And with the 5000 series thanks to Nvidia removing 32bit PhysX support, that's now very broken on modern hardware. The only time that worked great was when I ran the game on 2x 780 Ti's and dedicated one GPU to just doing the PhysX.
Just a money grab is all it is, and who can blame them after all when people buy some thing they already own.
Stop buying in to the BS and maybe you'll get the original game fixed.
It's all a short sighted grift. Greed isn't something that helps humanity, it just inflates the fat cat's ego to think they can make shit into gold.
