New Features on Steam Hint at an Assassin’s Creed 4 Remake
Recently, fans noticed that Ubisoft added several new features to the Steam page of Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag. These features include custom volume controls, stereo and surround sound options, a mouse-only control mode, adjustable difficulty settings, and the ability to save anytime during gameplay.
None of these were part of the original 2013 release, sparking excitement that these changes may be tied to a long-rumoured remake.
Gaming insider TheHiddenOneAC spotted the SteamDB update on social media, highlighting that these features align with what’s available in Assassin’s Creed games released after 2014. This has led to debate about whether these features will be added as a routine update to the classic title or whether they point to an entirely new version of the game.
Hints from Voice Actors and Merch Creators
The rumours gained more weight after Matt Ryan, the voice actor for Edward Kenway, teased players at a recent convention. He hinted that fans might “have to beat” Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag again, suggesting a fresh take on the game could be coming soon.
Additionally, creators of Assassin’s Creed statues have also hinted at new projects linked to the Black Flag title.
While Ubisoft remains silent on official announcements, the steady stream of clues has fans eagerly anticipating a reveal. The game was originally released in 2013 and sold over 15 million copies, making it a prime candidate for a remake to refresh the beloved pirate adventure for modern audiences.
When Could the Remake Be Announced?
Speculation suggests Ubisoft might unveil the Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag remake at major gaming events such as Gamescom 2025 or The Game Awards later this year. If not, the next opportunity could be Ubisoft Forward 2026.
Initially, reports pointed to a November 2025 release, but delays in other Assassin’s Creed titles may push the remake’s launch into 2026.
