A PlayStation Store mishap hints at a possible Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake, fueling fan excitement for the release more than ever.

With Assassin’s Creed Shadows finally pulling Ubisoft out of its crisis, there could not have been a better time to celebrate the franchise known for its parkour and stealth mechanics, and it seems like the studio knows all about it better than we do.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, released back in 2013, is undoubtedly one of the most iconic installments in the whole series and possibly the one AC game that deserves a remake the most. Ubisoft might have unintentionally leaked precisely that through a PlayStation Store mishap.

Following the much-hyped debut of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has made a move everybody was expecting, but not this quick. A remake of Black Flag has been in demand for every fan forever, and the studio behind it finally seems to be interested enough to start working on it.

Eagle-eyed fans have noticed that on the PlayStation store, once the user searches for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, the top listing shows the string of words ‘announced’ instead of the price tag, leading many to speculate how a rework for the game might finally be in development.

While some might dismiss this as a minor database hiccup, it’s potentially more than that. Bearing in mind how the franchise will be managed by a Ubisoft subsidiary company from now on, it might just be that the new management is planning to start the crisis recovery with a bang.

Why an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake can change everything

Regarded as one of the best entries in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Black Flag pioneered new naval combat mechanics that every player deeply loved. Unfortunately, the game is now over a decade old and can definitely make some of whatever the sweet new Anvil Engine has to offer.

Additionally, the studio has already announced a remake for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which showcases a willingness to bring back old titles for a spin of nostalgia and a bit of cash grab, something that Ubisoft can make some use of right now.

While no official confirmation has surfaced yet, the PlayStation Store mishap fuels the fire into the hopes of everyone looking forward to the return of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. For now, fans can only wait for an official announcement, which might be closer than everybody thinks.
