Assassin’s Creed Teases Fans With Possible Black Flag Remake

While Memorial Day typically marks a quiet period in news cycles, Ubisoft may have flipped the script with a subtle but buzzworthy post on the Assassin’s Creed social media account. The seemingly light-hearted meme followed a viral trend that plays on the phrase, “unfortunately you’ve lost your memory,” usually followed by a mention of a game fans would love to experience again for the first time.

In this case, the franchise spotlighted Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag—a move that didn’t go unnoticed. Although it could have been a playful interaction with fans, the timing and choice of game raised more than a few eyebrows, especially given the consistent buzz about a Black Flag remake in the works.

Rumors of a reimagined Black Flag have circulated for months, and Ubisoft hasn’t exactly been shy about its intentions to revisit past entries in the Assassin’s Creed universe. In fact, CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed earlier this year that several remakes are already in development. According to Guillemot, the studio plans to modernize beloved titles from the series, capitalizing on the deep lore and rich settings that still resonate with fans.

Given Black Flag’s reputation as one of the franchise’s high points, a remake feels not just plausible—but almost inevitable. The pirate-themed adventure of Edward Kenway set a new bar for open-world naval gameplay, and a next-gen revival could breathe fresh life into one of Ubisoft’s most cherished entries.

With Summer Games Fest just around the corner, fans are keeping their eyes peeled. Ubisoft might be gearing up to officially confirm what the internet has long suspected. Whether the post was a genuine tease or just social media fun, one thing is clear: Black Flag hasn’t lost its hold on the Assassin’s Creed faithful.
