The Hidden One@TheHiddenOneAC
We got NEW Assassin's Creed Black Flag REMAKE information.
- The remake removes the modern day and replaces them with more content in Edward’s pirate era (a few extra hours compared to the original).
- Gameplay will shift closer to the RPG-style of newer AC games:
- Loot and gear stats for Edward
- Inventory systems
- Combat leaning toward the RPG style rather than the choreographed combat of the original
- No loading screens when moving between ship and land
- Map is not bigger, but islands will be filled with more activities and side content.
- Expected to include cut content from the original, like parts of Mary Read’s storyline that were dropped in 2013.
- It’s not on the same “big budget remake” level as Resident Evil 2 or Silent Hill 2, but more of a faithful reimagining with updates.
- Uses Ubisoft’s new Anvil Pipeline engine (same as AC Shadows).
- Release window: currently targeted for early 2026 (likely March), though some sources think it could slip to late 2026.
- They are reusing some assets from Skull & Bones to cut costs, but it won’t be obvious to players.
