A new report has claimed that the supposed Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag remake will launch before March 31, 2026.

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.

Ubisoft hasn't commented on the report, nor has the company publicly announced anything yet, but there has been a lot of information about the game circulating since its apparent early leaks in June 2023. 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. The rumor mill is a-turning, and if accurate, it's only a matter of time before Ubisoft officially announces the game.

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.

In other Assassin's Creed news, Ubisoft said the franchise's latest entry, Shadows, is still going strong. Despite suffering a delay due to the backlash toward Black co-protagonist Yasuke, the game continues to receive new content following its March 20 launch. September's Claws of Awaji expansion added new story content and weapons for the two playable characters--Naoe and Yasuke--while a recent patch added an "advanced parkour" option for more free-flowing exploration. For Ubisoft, the entire Assassin's Creed franchise at this point has "exceeded expectations."
