Ubisoft is reportedly working on the remake of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, the most popular game in the series. It was first released in 2013, making it almost ten years old and still the most demanding game for a remake by fans.
According to two unnamed sources, the game is still in the early stages of development, and it will take at least a few years to be ready to launch. As the game was heavily based on ships and ocean battles, the development leading team in Singapore is working intensely on developing evolving ocean physics for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Water. On the other hand, the game Skull and Bones, inspired by Black Water is still yet to launch, which is announced back in 2017. It was supposed to be launched in the fall of 2022 but was delayed two times for some reason; still, no official date has been announced yet.
