Gamers have recently discovered that Ubisoft has added new features to the Steam page forAssassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, which could indicate that the title’s rumored remake is closer than many believed. While Ubisoft has not confirmed that a remake of the popularAssassin’s Creed 4: Black Flagis in the works, evidence of its existence keeps surfacing online.
Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flagwas originally released in 2013, and it quickly became a huge hit, selling over 15 million copies since. Back in 2023,reports indicated that anAssassin’s Creed: Black Flagremake was greenlitby Ubisoft, but the publisher has not confirmed it.
Now, Ubisoft has added brand-new features toBlack Flag’s Steam page (spotted by TheHiddenOneAC), but the twist is that none of them are available in the game. The new features include custom volume controls, stereo sound, surround sound, mouse-only option, adjustable difficulty options, and the ability to save anytime. While this could mean thatAC4: Black Flagwill get a new update that will add these new features to the old version, it’s also possible that the update is linked to the rumored remake. What could worry some people, however, is that if Ubisoft is already changing the Steam page, it could mean that the new remake will replace the previous title in the store, which will likely not sit well with some gamers.
New Features Added to the Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Steam Page
Since the original rumors began to surface, gamers have continued to findevidence of theAssassin’s Creed 4: Black Flagremake. Back in June, for example, Ubisoft made some changes to its Steam page, updating some of the game’s trailers on the storefront.
Another indication that the remake exists came from Edward Kenway’s voice actor, Matt Ryan, a few weeks ago. At the time,Ryan teased a potentialAssassin’s Creed 4: Black Flagremake, saying to some players during a convention that they would “have to beat”AC4again.
The frequency of these updates may mean that an announcement could happen soon, but it’s impossible to point out exactly when. Last year, it was reported that theBlack Flagremake could be outin November 2025. However, this was beforeAssassin’s Creed: Shadowswas delayed, so it’s possible that the game could come out in 2026. Ubisoft has already confirmed that it will attend Gamescom 2025, so the remake may be unveiled during the event. If this does not happen, other major events such as The Game Awards 2025 or Ubisoft Forward 2026 could be when the announcement will finally take place. Gamers should take these rumors and predictions with a grain of salt.
