In a recent post on X, user @TheRealZephryss shared a series of images of a new Edward Kenway figure that is claimed to be releasing alongside the remake of Assassin’s Creed 4. The figure is said to have appeared on the online marketplace Vinted and claimed that this new version of Black Flag would be launching in 2026. The post ended up gaining traction on social media, which resulted in Ubisoft itself responding to the leak with the “Ah s**t, here we go again,” meme from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. While not an outright confirmation of this leak being legitimate, it does suggest that Ubisoft didn’t mean for this info to become public just yet.
When Will the Assassin’s Creed 4 Remake Release?
At this point, we’re simply waiting on Ubisoft to formally announce and release the remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag. Sadly, it seems like we might have to wait longer for the game than anticipated. This past week, Ubisoft delayed a number of projects that were in the works at the company and canceled a handful of others. Although the Black Flag remake didn’t get scrapped, it was said to have been delayed from its release in early 2026 to a time later in the company’s next fiscal period. As such, we might not see or hear from this remake for a few more months, even if it is an open secret.
