"According to an Insider Gaming story ( corroborated by Eurogamer), the information came to light after Ubisoft's earnings report was finally released. The report--which the company delayed at the last minute so it could "finalize the closing of the semester," per CFO Frederick Duguet--mentioned that one "unannounced game" will come out before the end of Ubisoft's fiscal year ending on March 31, 2026."
"Insider Gaming claims this blanked-out game in the report is the Black Flag remake and that it will release during the week of March 23. A Pure Arts livestream from March 2025 may have confirmed its existence, Edward Kenway voice actor Matt Ryan hinted at the game in June 2025, and whenever it does drop, it apparently won't feature modern-day sections but will include additional story content."
"Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is often considered one of the best entries in the long-running stab-and-dash sim. You play as Edward Kenway, the grandfather of Assassin's Creed III protagonist Ratonhnhaké:ton (or Connor Kenway), who goes from a life of pillaging and plundering as a pirate to thwarting the Templar Order by uncovering the location of the Observatory. Through naval combat and intense swashbuckling, Edward eventually discovers all manner of secrets that he as a pirate--and the Assassins' lineage--struggled to learn."
Ubisoft delayed an earnings report to "finalize the closing of the semester," per CFO Frederick Duguet, and listed one unannounced game due before the fiscal year ends on March 31, 2026. Insider Gaming and Eurogamer identify that listing as a remake of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, with a claimed release during the week of March 23. Multiple leaks and hints have emerged, including an apparent early leak in June 2023, a March 2025 Pure Arts livestream, and a June 2025 hint from voice actor Matt Ryan. The rumored remake reportedly omits modern-day sections and adds story content.
