Ubisoft Addresses Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Rumors with GTA Meme
Ubisoft is addressing the long-standing rumors surrounding a remake of its popular title, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. The company recently shared a humorous meme from Grand Theft Auto to acknowledge the discussions among fans.
Ubisoft’s Response to Rumors
The official social media account for Assassin’s Creed responded to a post that featured an image of a new Edward Kenway figurine, reportedly connected to the Black Flag remake. The post indicated that the figurine would be available this year, sparking excitement and speculation.
Ubisoft’s response incorporated a classic meme from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This meme features the character CJ, expressing frustration with the phrase, “Ah sh*t, here we go again.” This playful acknowledgment further fueled discussions about the potential remake.
Evidence of the Remake
- The figurine showcases logos from both Ubisoft and PureArts, and it has a copyright mark set for 2026.
- Earlier this year, Black Flag sea shanties were reuploaded on YouTube, though Ubisoft labeled it as a technical issue.
- Voice actor Matt Ryan, who portrayed Edward Kenway, hinted at the remake’s existence, leading to legal concerns from Ubisoft.
- A PEGI listing for a project named Black Flag Resynced was noted in December, adding to the speculation.
Initial rumors suggested that Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag’s remake could release as soon as April. However, recent announcements from Ubisoft indicate a significant restructuring. This restructuring included the closure of two studios and the cancellation of six projects, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake.
Impact of Restructuring on Game Releases
As part of these changes, seven upcoming games are delayed, with the Black Flag remake among the titles affected. Fans are left waiting for more concrete information from Ubisoft regarding this anticipated project.
In conclusion, while Ubisoft is indirectly acknowledging the buzz surrounding the remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, the company’s recent restructuring has resulted in uncertainty regarding the timeline for its release.
